Last Friday, on the night before my birthday, Bob and I were headed out to see the new Star Trek movie. While I was excited to be going out to the movies, I'm not super into Star Trek and kept joking how I'd find excuses to skip the movie. When we went into the garage to get into the car, the garage door opened and I saw these friends with waiting outside to surprise me. I was confused and baffled...my mind was wondering, "Wait, are they seeing Star Trek, too?" Bob surprised me by gathering the girls together to whisk me off to a sushi dinner instead.
To be truly surprised with an unexpected treat like that really made my day, my week, maybe even my year. And, my friends and family showered me with best treats...mini pies, boba milk tea, cupcakes, homemade mochi, cookies, cake, and so much more. I was on a sugar high for about a week. This was the best birthday in a long time, and I really felt so loved. It reminded me how much birthdays are so special and how important it is to celebrate (in whatever small ways you can) that one day that someone gets to call their own.
Wishing you all a happy (long) weekend full of little delights and surprises...we'll see you back here on Tuesday!
P.S. Just because...Ruby dancing...
P.P.S. I heard the new Star Trek movie is actually really good. Maybe I should see it afterall...
