Over the Hill

Last weekend my dad turned the big 50! Mom attempted to throw a surprise party. By that I mean, the only surprise was who would show up other than the family members. Then Mom let some things slip, like some people that were invited. Oh well, she tried, and she made a lot of enchiladas. The biggest surprise was Christopher! He said he originally was not able to come due to a huge project due on Monday (today). He said that he woke up Saturday morning and decided to come. I received a phone call around 11:15 am on Saturday asking what he should do for lunch. I told him to eat chili since I made it the previous week (and he hadn't even tried it yet). Then he asked what I was doing. I told him, and then asked what state he was in. He finally admitted he was in Georgia. I saw him after lunch. It was a great surprise for me and my dad! Dad found out when Chris walked in the door after me. Dad received some good gifts, but my wrapping was the best. I wanted to buy Depends, but they cost $15, so I noticed Poise pads. I think they're for women, but they serve the same purpose. Well then I was thinking that pantiliners are cheaper, so that's what I bought. I just stuck them all over the gift. It was very easy too! 

On another note, Mindy and I went to David's Bridal yesterday, and I made more decisions. I had already decided on the dress and color, but she helped me decide on the shoes. Bronze shoes look great with the dress, and they're in style, so it should be easy to find them (hopefully on sale too). I wish I were a bridesmaid so I could buy the dress and shoes. I would actually wear the dress (even multiple times), which was something I really thought about when picking the dress out. 

Also, our engagement pictures are finally here! They look great! We're still waiting on the CD, but we do have some actual prints, including an 8 x 10. I'm really excited about everything...now if only we could decide on the music. I would be relieved if that were chosen!
