Happy Birthday to Me


Matt and I spent the past four days in Columbia celebrating my 29th and the Missouri Tigers. After two losses, we finally won! 58-0. It was pretty much domination. :) Before the game, though, I had a little surprise on Friday. Jess, Gabe, Matt and I headed to the bookstore first thing Friday morning, where we stocked up on MU apparel (25% off on Fridays before home games). From there we headed downtown, where we had lunch at Flat Branch. We had already planned to go to the winery that afternoon - what I didn't know is that Matt had planned a surprise party for me there. I was floored. The biggest surprise was Caldwell and Kate. As far as I knew, Kate wasn't coming to Columbia at all, and Cal wasn't suppose to be there until Saturday morning. Hannah and Bobby were there. Beth, whom I didn't expect to see until Friday night, was also there. She even made a semi sugar-free cookie cake for me, along with some other nibbles. It was wonderful! I got a little teary when I realized what was going on. (I'm getting awfully soft in my old age.) I love my hubby. :)
