Birthday prep

It's that time of year again....wait....It's John's birthday!! YEAH!! After my huge FUBAR 4 years ago, I will not forget. Let's visit that day oh so long ago. I remember telling John how excited I was for his birthday cake the next day, this was on Saturday. It was Sunday, he was busy with meetings and such, I was busy with kids and such.....so we decide to take a "sunday drive". Along our drive the phone kept ringing. I was getting irritated because our family time was getting cut into by someone on the line. After about the 4th phone call, I asked John who it was that kept calling. He told me it was his family, just calling to talk. They were having a family party and passed the phone around. I started to giggle because it wasn't like his family to just call out of the blue to talk. So I let it slide as we continued on our adventure. I remember now thinking how weird for his family to have a party and just call out of the blue and talk for like ever. LA, LA, LA on our way we go. We get home, get the kids in bed, I get ready and go to tell John to come up, because he had been on the phone AGAIN! It's about 10:30 and the phone rings. If you don't know me, I loath the phone ringing after 9:45. It better be dang good to call past 9:30 pm. I answer the phone all rudely and it's his sister Chris. I ask her whats wrong, and why is she calling so late. She sheepishly said "I'm calling because I didn't talk to John, it's his birthday!" I proceeded to go crawling on my knees into the office cement floor begging for forgiveness. This is why his family was calling and he was on the phone all day. They kept calling to see if I had remembered!! Not once did they call or text to give me the heads up. I was so ashamed. SOOOOO, because of this blessed event, we never forget Johns birthday. This birthday we are going to the Kenny Loggins concert at the Sandy Amphitheater. I am so excited to go. Then on Saturday we are having a birthday party for him and Tom. Brothers with the same birthday, same hour, a year apart! It wasn't even planned that way. Here I am now planning a kinda surprise birthday party on a budget. It's potluck, because I don't know how many people are coming. It's at a park, because I don't know how many are coming. I have sent out an event through facebook, but no one has RSVP yet, so I'm not sure if it's worked. Anyway, here we go birthday #49!
