Happy Birthday To Me, Indeed

OMG!!!! I am just so shocked and surprised! I can't believe it, I can't believe what Jeff did. He was telling me the whole story. He is one sneeky guy. But I love do him for that.
I do have to say that I love surprises and this is one of the best. But to me the best part of a surprise is figuring it out and I had no idea. You all did very, very well keep this from me. We will have a chat about this later.
This has got to be one of the best Birthday presents, EVER!!!! You all have such a special place in my heart and love you all so. I wish you could have seen my tears (of happiness and joy) this morning as I now stumble for words, I think they said it best.


Edit: I thought I better add a note for those who don't know, my hubby Jeff, went to all the bloggers on my blog roll and asked them to make a post tell me Happy Birthday. It is a virtual Surprise Party.

Ok. So his name doesn't have to be Jeff.

And I would prefer it if he weren't already someone else's hubby...

Happy Birthday, Jen! What a fantastic way to start the day!!

I saw your b-day announcement on Scary Mommy and Rhea's place!

And I love what you've done with the place! I will bookmark ya and come back after I have gone to the store, takin' old crap to be sold in a garage sale, paint a pumpkin black, finish the laundry......

I'll be back at some point!!

Enjoy your special day, birthday girl!

Hope you have a wonderful birthday! Sounds like he will see to it that you do!

Jill said...

Happy Birthday again Jen!

Just a quick note to let you know that I sooo wanted to participate as I TOTALLY enjoy your blog... But you've read my blog, you know my theme (mundane life of the 4 of us in India), where I don't even send shouts out to my own extended family for their birthdays or special occasions ... it would have been completely out of character.

I hope you can forgive me. :)

Enjoy your fabulous day!

KatBouska said...

Happy Birthday Jen!! I hope you're having fun today. What a neat idea...I hope you guys celebrate with a birthday dinner away from the kiddos!!

Nicole said...

Hey! Happy Birthday! I totally got the email request from your hubby and totally didn't come through for him. No happy birthday post for you on my blog. :( Chalk it up to the mommy brain. I've been so worked up trying to finish up my 100th post, AND I've been getting up at 5:30 to work out and I just didn't get it done. I'm lame. Sorry. But very VERY Happy Birthday to you just the same!!!!!!! I'll do better next year. :)

Cheryl Lage said...

You've got a good man, and a lot of friends! :) Enjoy the special birthday extravaganza.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday! Melody at Pennies in My Pocket was the little birdie who told me!

Can I say how jealous I am that your hubby put together a surprise (bloggy) birthday party? I always have wanted a surprise party and was even going to throw one for myself for my 30th (but then I had an out-of-town friend invite herself for the weekend).

Jennifer P. said...

You are all over the blog world today so i thought I would come check you out! Happy birthday to you and what a fun husband you have! He's a keeper.

Mom2my10 @ 11th Heaven said...

Happy Birthday, Jen! I think you need to be my new best friend! My name is Jen, too, and I have nine kids, the youngest of whom are 8-month-old twins. I feel like I'm buried in kids with just the two younger ones...I can't imagine how you must feel with THREE! Many time I have marveled that it would simply be impossible to do this with three, but I guess you somehow manage! I can't wait to read more of your blog to find out how. GREAT to meet you and what a sweet husband you have! See you soon!

Briana said...

Happy Birthday!! I wish my hubby was romantic like that!!

OMG. Late AGAIN. LoserTown, population: me. I even had it written on the 15th:" Bur.w/ch". Does it help at all that ALSO last night at 7, as I'm surfing the web i said "CRAP!!!" I forgot my daughter's soccer practice was at 6. True. I am a loser.


Sorry for being so lame- Happy belated birthday!!!!
