So, I went to Mo's to meet Jason for dinner. He'd told me his mom might be joining us plus a surprise person. I get there, and Jason's already there. The waitress walks us to the back room to a table and as I'm asking him who the special guest person is my eyes go to this huge crowd who suddenly all shout "SURPRISE!" I couldn't believe it - brilliantly done - a surprise early birthday party for ME. So many wonderful people there to celebrate - Jason, the Staitman family, Jenna Rosen and her mom, Rita McKenzie, Joan Ryan, Karen Morrow, Dennis Kyle, Jane Noseworthy and hubby, Lisa Livesay, Adryan Russ (who devised the party with Jason), helper Heather, Susanne Blakeslee, Kevin Symons, the Wechters, Adryan's hubby Dale, Kevin Bailey, Doug Haverty, Jason's ever-lovin' Glen, Kay Cole - I hope I'm not forgetting anybody but it was a little overwhelming. It was so much fun! More in the notes.
