I woke up this morning, my 50th birthday, and found pieces of paper all over my house with little sentiments on them...Jeffrey had called family and friends to ask them what they liked/loved about me!! He had 50 different things from people all over the house. What a sweet birthday surprise and I loved it!!!
You bet I am~~!
Validation....finally.
This is from one of my nieces, they all call me Aunt J. Now I'm old aunt J.
Then I went to Seminary to take doughnuts to my favorite bunch of 15 year olds. They are adorable. Absolutely adorable.
I went to work and on my desk were flowers, a cake, balloons and cards. I am loved by my office. I forgot to take a picture. oops. bad blogging. See....I'm getting forgetful already.
I was just working along when my office door opened....in marched a bunch of drummers and then percussionists and brass players. Liberty High School's Jazz band then performed a rousing version of Happy Birthday and God Save the Queen! It was hysterical.
Then my gorgeous, funny cousin Jeanette brought me lunch. Yummy.
For dessert my sweet friend Marty brought me WARM chocolate chip cookies, loaded and packed with chocolatey goodness!!!!
Mitchell called, Lauren called, Bro Mark called......
THEN... I go home.
THIS is what awaits me.....

I laughed so hard I needed protection!
Absolutely, without a doubt...THE single funniest joke ever played on me.
This lovely garland on my garage door for the world to see.
I'd like to thank the little elves who provided me with Granny Panties so now I can truly fit the part. I have an appointment for my violet rinse and perm on Wednesday.
(Trisha? Kelli? Emma?.........) Jeff knows who and won't spill the beans.
What did I get this year?
An i-phone is coming to me soon. I hope I can figure out how to use it.
I got these from a friend whose love of Scotch Mallows rivals my own. Nice way to sabotage my dieting friend.....
Phone calls from Rachel, Gabi, Andrea, Karen and Diane!!!!
How blessed I am to have met so many amazing women blogging!!
Flowers and chocolate and industrial sized Diet Pepsi from lovely Erin (out visiting from DC).
Dinner out with my in-laws who are the two kindest, most generous people I have ever known. I am blessed to have them.
A call from my mother who lives in Africa and my siblings rounded out my day.
I am happy and tired. What a fabulous day. What more could I ask than to be surrounded by those I love and who love me.
Tomorrow...round two. Dinner with friends.

It's been birthday week here at my house getting your birthday package ready to mail because I started it last week. I'm sorry it took me so long to finish it but trust me when I say that it will be worth the wait and who said you can't keep celebrating.
It's coming priority mail so you should be seeing it around thursday, maybe friday!! I'm glad you had such a great day and I wish that I could've been there sharing in all of the celebrating.

Crap, a 31st birthdasy really blows next to a 50th birthday.
I hope you are feeling the love!
The granny panty garland is the best thing ever.
Jeff is a good son. He gets extra points for that one. He even remembered me. Now, if I can just talk to you...
Why do I get nailed for the prank? Little 'ole innocent me. I am shocked, confused, and yet pleased. Insert evil laugh. You'll never know . . .
WOW What a birthday! A full marching band would only happen to you, jeni! The garland is the best. I'm hoping the pink panties are yours. I'm saving this post for when I turn 50.

You are so deserving.
Happy birthday! What an awesome gift from Jeffrey - I'm going to try my hardest to remember that for my husband's September birthday.
You look awesome, by the way. I hadn't realized how much you look like Lauren until I saw one of the pics in this post.
You have a fun fun fun group of friends! Love the undies!
Happy Birthday Blog friend Jenibelle!
