Sorry it's been so long! It's been a busy weekend and week. :) I thank God for HIS many blessings... HE'S so GOOD!!!
I will need to start with Father's Day. Ben, Rachel and I went to see his father Sunday morning for breakfast. I have to get the pics from Ben soon to post them. We were there with Orlando (Ben's half-bro), Jonathan and Heather (bro&sis-in-law). It was so nice to chat with them over breakfast. It was nice to see rachel enjoy her "tato" (taco) too. SHe ate the whole thing! It was ONE large bean and cheese! She got to cuddle with G-pa Ben too. She calls him "Papa Be". It's too cute!
Afterwards we stopped to get gas (and stall- I think). We went to see my dad at his house.... when we were pulling up, I see many cars in the driveway that are from many of my family members. I say, "It's father's day Ben!" (Meaning, you made me a surprise b-day party on your day (and all the other father's invited). ;) I was surprised b/c I had convinced myself a few weeks ago that ben was making me a party, but then I told myself "NO" it's just me overthinking things.... then Ben and Mom and Dad really kept it from me and I thought, we're just gonna eat at a nice restraunt on my b-day. What sneaky people! They did good! I was so happy to see so many people there. (I don't know if we got pics of everyone, but I hope so. Since it was my celebration I forgot to pull out my camera!) :(
Ben told me he'd been planning this since Nov. 2006!!! I was so surprise b/c that's when I started planning his! ;) (His b-day was in Jan. though, so I only started planning a few months in advance not 7 mos.!) My parents were there (obviously b/c it was at their house), Ben, Me, Rachel, Grandma Moran, Rene & Gloria Moran (uncle and aunt), Paz (aunt), Johnathan & jessica (cousins), Isaac, Yvette & Daisy (cousins), Kelly (be-fri), Dotty (co-worker from Carson Elem.) her daughter Dorothy, and her brother Jack, Yvonne & George Connors (aunt and uncle), Chrissy, Autumn, Savannah, & Jasmine (Favorite cousin and her daughters+friend), Yolanda & Richard (Mother and father-in-law), Heather and J.J. (sis&bro-in-law).... and I believe that's it! It was so nice to see everyone there to celebrate with me my 30th b-day! YES!!! 30!!!! As my brother says, "It's halfway to 60!" Augh!
Well, we had good ol' bill miller BBQ to eat and cake and presents, but my favorite was the video!!! My husband is the bEST!!! He made me a video with pics and video clips from when I was a baby/lil girl. He had clips of our wedding video too! :) I couldn't stop crying. He did so well and at the end he had video clips of family and friends saying "happy b-day" to me! Augh! I was so happy. It touched my heart! Ben, if you read this, THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! It really meant so much to me to have all this done for me. Also, to see so many important people in my life there to celebrate this occasion was the BEST! :)
Well, I'm going to look for some pics to post! I will be back soon!
