Mom's 70th Birthday Party ~~~ Total Success

Wow..........Thank goodness it is finally over. Although now it is kinda blah with all the excitement come and gone...But what a blast we had. My mom looked so beautiful and was so surprised. She is still speechless and is walking on a cloud. She cannot believe that we pulled this off without her knowing. I have NEVER seen my mom this surprised.



Everyone showed up and we danced and laughed all night long. Old friends from school even joined in. My mom is so deserving of this. She has always been there for us, especially for me, through all the difficult times in my life. I don't know how I could ever repay her for everything that she has given up for us and for always putting us first. She is my inspiration and motivation to keep on going and do my best at everything I do.It was so nice to see all of her brothers and sisters share this moment with her. Family is so important and we are not getting any younger so seeing them together all at once is just something you cannot take for granted.














It was so funny when we got there and everyone yelled surprised. The look on her face was undescribable. You could see the total shock and then the tears. Then when we were sitting at the head table and the Mariachi band came in, she started crying again. Then I looked at her and said "Now you know why MaryAnn (my sister) was missing in action for such a long time". As I explained earlier, my mom was getting a

little upset because my sister was not coming around much and didn't seem like she had any time for us. My mom didn't know what to say. She laughed and said I know, I am sorry. I can't believe you guys did this to me. I never would have guessed. So all in all, it was worth it and boy was my patience tested. You don't know how many times I wanted to scream and let her know exactly what was going on. But I managed to get control of it because I know all of the hard work that my sister put into this.

Well, other than the party, things have been going good. School has been good. I have already taken three tests which I did really good on. Two A's and one B. So I am happy about that. Work as usual is crazy and busy. Well, I guess that will be it for now. I need to get ready to start my shift. Sometimes I am so grateful to be able to work from home. Stay in my jammies and drink my coffee....... Well, hope you all have a good day, week, month.....love ya, Julie
