Yeseterday, Shawn and I were planing to go out to eat for my birthday at the Olive Garden. Wonderful resturant. Me being the silly person that I am was trying to get out of it, he had told me earlier in the week that he had called ahead and made reservations for us. I thought maybe for a second that it was odd that he had called ahead, cause well he doesn't do that, but it didn't really make a mark in my mind.
At lunch yesterday, I was in the caf with Nick and Luken. I was talking about the chirstmas dinner that was going to be on that night, and how i wasn't going to be there. Nick was like, "oh yeah". I thought about this when he said it, i hadn't told anyone that shawn was taking me out...why was that an 'oh yeah'?? I didn't linger. Well it rolls around to 6:30, and we get ready to go. Shawn got dressed up and looked lovely:) I was excited that we were going to go out to dinner, we don't really go out on dates much, like just the two of us. I don't really want him paying for me all the time...anyway. We drive, Shawn is getting really nervous, i don't really know why, but sometimes that just happens, i guess.
We walk to the door, shawn says his first name for the reservation, after telling me eailer in the night that they don't take reservations, and that we were going to have to call before we got there...but i just remember that now...so it
doesn't matter. We wait for a few mins, and then follow the lady around. We are going to the other side of the resturant, and i get a little sad because it's not where we were before, I am thinking about the kids that are right near us, and then bamn....Mom, Dad, Myles, Jess, Laura, Matt, Luken, Betsy, and Dehlia are sitting at the table.
I think that I lost my breath, I felt myself starting to cry and i gave my mom and hug and then myles then my dad. I was trying to hide my crying eyes. I sat down, i was shaking like crazy, which i did for awhile. I was SO suprised. It was amazing, i am always saying that I just want to be suprised...and man i was. I opened my preseants and we ate a wonderful meal. It was so much fun. Then we came back to the dorm and I drank a little.....god I will never foreget my 21st supries birthday party:)
and one of the gifts was a present to Cal. on the 22nd....so my home dinner is off:) but whatever i don't care
God it was great, i can't get over it...oh man
