I'm 33 1/3rd

Thanks to my family I got to celebrate my 33 1/3rd birthday last Friday. My sister Kris learned three years ago that I like surprises and thought that I should have a surprise birthday party for my 33 1/3 birthday! It was a great surprise and I loved it.

Vern told me that he wanted to go out for dinner on Saturday night with the entire family. (That should have given me warning signs because last May we did that and we haven't since because it was so crazy) We left the house , but turned the wrong direction for the restaurant. I tried to tell him he was going the wrong way, but he thought a new one was open. So, instead of trusting my husband I called my two sisters in Mesa to ask them to get the address from the Internet. Neither are at home. Then I call my sister, Karen, in Vegas and she checks things out for me. At this time Vern starts to pull into Goodyear park and says "I'm just turning around." I assume he has realized that I was right and he was wrong. But he parks the car and gets out of the car. As we get out, my sister-in-law is in the parking lot and asks if I know why I was there. I say "no" and she says."oh" . So after a stop at the restroom for the child that was told to go before we left the house. We walk over to a pavilion filled with friends and family to celebrate my 33 1/3rd birthday. It was so wonderful! Thank you to all that were able to come. It was so fun to see everyone. I just wish I could have spent more time with each of you.
