a little [30th birthday] surprise for mimi

 

i have awesome friends from my college days at BYU.  One of which is Mimi who happens to turn 30 this week.

Mimi’s sis-in-law, Amy planned this little get-together in her head over a year ago and it finally happened on saturday.

The details?

. I flew to Phoenix on Saturday morning and flew back Saturday night.

. Amy picked me up and we went straight to Mimi’s to surprise her.  I simply knocked on her door and the look on her face when she opened it was P R I C E L E S S.  Seriously – we pulled off the ultimate surprise.

. We spent a day as Mimi, Lindsay & Amy.  Not “_______’s mom”. 

. We chatted alot.  We got pedicures. We ate.  We shopped.  We chatted some more.  I usually only get 5 minute conversations with Mimi before one of us is pulled away by a child so having 8 straight hours was amazing.

. We were kid free and loving it.

. Mimi and I haven’t spent any quality time with just girls since college.  We’ve always been with hubbies or kiddos so we were in need of some girl time.

Happy Birthday week, Mimi!  I am glad I got to celebrate with you for a day!  Out of the mouth of Mimi – the day was “magical”.  And I concur.

 

a few thanks are in order:

1 – Amy.  For thinking of this fun day and planning it.

2 – Tony. Dan. Wes.  For being super dads on Saturday.

This is what my boys were up to while I was gone: Kyle’s soccer game.  Bass Pro Shop to look at fish and pretend ride cabin cars.  And the carousel/rides at the outlet mall.  All photos courtesy of the i-phone.
