My 40th Birthday Surprise

Lance had a birthday surprise for me in September but wouldn't say what it was. I was supposed to pack an overnight bag and meet him at a restaurant in Coeur d'Alene. I was so excited to have a night away together! When I left the house I noticed that he didn't pack a bag for himself so that made me a little sad....was he staying home to take care of the kids while I got to have a night away by myself?!............what was going on......? So I showed up at the restaurant and met him outside. As we walked in together I was immediately taken aback by the group in the corner - it was a girls night with Julie, Jean, and Chris!!! Not only that, but Lance reserved a house on the river for us girls to have a sleep over together. Huzzah!!!!! Oh my word, I was so surprised and excited and nervous all at the same time!

Dinner was delicious, it was a family owned authentic Italian restaurant that is only open by reservation. Lance went home while us girls went to the lake house. We ate yummy treats all night long and visited and laughed and stayed up way too late. In the morning we ate more treats for breakfast outside on the river and watched the sun rise. What a beautiful birthday surprise! I'm so grateful Lance would pull that off for me and was so shocked to see my best Spokane friends. What a treat!
