More from Saturday.

Video of the Day:

This video is from my surprise on Saturday. I already told the story on yesterday's blog so I won't go into detail again but the video is pretty funny. Notice Nathan hiding the ring box behind his back, my dad is in the back manning the window. Everyone thought I didn't want to come in because I saw all the cars and figured it was a surprise party. What was really happening was I was waiting for my friend who had pulled in right behind us to sneak in ahead of time. She was waiting for us to go in first. Ha! So finally I figured she was trying to be slick so I we went ahead and went in. Everyone thought I wasn't getting out of the car because of the surprise.

Ok and another little video clip:

In this one you can see Jimmy as he tells me what is really going on. If I remember correctly you'll see me unzipping my jacket and Jimmy starts to talk to me and help me pull off the jacket. He was telling me that there really was no surprise party, he wanted to renew his vows to show me how much he loves me...aww... even after all this many years. So I'm kinda looking at him like "what" trying to register what he's telling me with what I see. Of course I was happy so I'm grinning like a big fool and I had a couple tears sneaking out because all these emotions were flooding me at once. It really means a lot to know how much my husband loves me after eight years. Not many men would go through all this effort and work to have a surprise vow renewal ceremony, not many guys would research vows and write their own, and not many guys are even able to figure out and plan details. Now I give my mom and dad credit for helping too!! Thanks guys!!

So today is my actual birthday, birthday and I'm a little freaked out because I'm 27 and that seems so old to me. Ugh.. I think I'd like to pause myself at 27 because I'm not ready to hit 30 or to get any closer to 30. I feel horrible for Jimmy. He was dumped a large load of work last week and really needed the weekend to get it taken care of but he had other plans so last night he didn't sleep. He stayed up all night finishing his work and then went to sleep around 7:00 this morning until 9:00 this morning and had to get back up and go to meetings today. Ew... I hope he can function ok today. He wanted to bake me a birthday cake with Nathan today because Nathan kept talking about wanting to make me a cake. But I really think maybe he should get some rests. Besides, I think the past 12 days have been enough spoiling for me to last me awhile. Ha! Anymore of this and I'll think I'm a queen here. We did go out last night for dinner, I really enjoyed myself, we talked about his sneaky planning skills and everyday random things. We each got something different so we could share. We stopped over by Kohl's on the way back home and he found some good deals on some work shirts he really needed. He is going out of town for a few days at the end of the week. I've got plans to have some visitors so I won't be lonely and he won't be gone long but I'm going to really miss him. My heart is really filled with a lot of gratitude for everything he's done and I'm feeling super loved!! He's bring me my favorite lunch home today! Aw... lets all hug Jimmy!
