Jill has always been a little short changed when it comes to parties for her birthday. Being at the end of August with 3 birthdays and an anniversary before her, school starting and both of the cars inspections always due, she had mostly had family parties. For her 21st we wanted to do something special. One morning, while she was asleep (with her phone, in case she gets an email from Stephen) is crawled into her room on all fours. Around the bed and over the mountains of clothes and shoes... reaching the cord where it was plugged in I pulled the phone from under the covers and into my hand. When I unplugged it, it "brinnged".
"Shhhhh".
I slid it into my shirt and crawled back around the bed and over the mountains and reached the safety of the hall. Whew! I knew if I simply copied her contacts to my phone she would see it, so I wrote down all (over 100) contacts, by hand! Now to get the phone back to Jill... crawling again around the bed and over the mountains, Calypso (the cat) followed me. Curious why I was on all fours, and just as I reached the cord, he "meow"ed.
"Shhhhh"
"meow?"
"Shhhhh"
Plugging in the phone, "brinnggg"
"Shhhhh"
and pushed it back under the edge of the sheets, back around the bed, over the mountains and out the door.... whew.
I text her friends, and some who were not (I got one back saying they would come but that Jill didn't like them anymore and they had been uninvited to come over ever again) :) to a surprise party for Jill. Parker, North and Abby decorated the club house then Parker took Jill out for her birthday to a movie and brought her back for her surprise!
A pool, cake and music. I think she was truly surprised to see us and so many friends that came! She had a great time and made some great memories!
