Shopping/Surprise

Well, Yesterday Moyd and I drove to Ogden to pick up some wood for his Taxidermy. We stopped at RC Willey and bought our Christmas...a Surround Sound system for our upstairs TV and we also bought a Grandfather Clock...Merry Christmas to US. The clock will be delivered the last week of November. Then it was on to LOWES for the wood, well usually Moyd likes to HURRY and get what he needs...well he just took his stinkin' time and I am like 'lets hurry up, I am hungry.' Then on to SPORTSMANS WAREHOUSE where he bought me a new pair of slippers (Thank You as I will need some for the hospital visit). Then he did finally buy me a sandwich as I was starving to death! He told me not to eat too much as we were meeting Amber at 4pm at the Village Inn (I thought that was odd because he doesn't like Village Inn). On to finding TOYS-R-US which we found out no longer exists in Ogden, on to SHOP-KO for some more CHRISTMAS shopping. Then we had about a 45 minute wait, so we parked in the RC Willey parking lot, I was trying to have a little nap and he kept talking, so forget the nap. Then all of a sudden he said "well are you ready to go eat" I said "this isn't village inn". We got out and here comes ALL my CHILDREN walking towards me. They had secretly planned having a Birthday Dinner at the Olive Garden in honor of my '50th' b-day. I was really SURPRISED!!!!! And little CASSIE was there too...she told me she was flying up on Monday, I was so happy to see all of my kids together. It has been 5 years, wish it could happen more often. Then things started to add up. 1. Marick told me he was coming to see me on my birthday, then his mom took the phone from him. Now I know why. 2. Marissa never let me talk to the kids on the phone, now I know why. 3. Marissa called and asked to talk to Moyd, now I know why. 4. Cassie told me she would be flying up on Monday morning and then coming to visit me on Tuesday afternoon, but she showed up on Saturday with her friend Kristin. Now I know why. 5. Moyd and I were going to shop in Ogden the weekend before, he told me we would wait until this weekend. Now I know why. Thanks to all who made this a GREAT DAY!!! Jason, Julie, Marissa, Matt, Cassie, Kristin, Moyd, Amber, Tom, Makinzy, Lorenzo, Marick, Claire and Delia. I LOVE YOU ALL (wish i was that good at keeping a secret) Will post pictures as soon as the kids send me some!!!
