While I was at Time Out for Women, Mario and the kids decided to throw me a surprise birthday party for my 39th birthday. They went to my favorite party store-The Dollar Tree and bought lots of princess theme party stuff. The twins were especially excited. But knowing nothing about the party, I announced to the family that I thought we should go out of town for a couple days and visit an Amana colony and an Amish community in Iowa. No one seemed to excited to go. But I persisted since it was my birthday.
Well, Mario was agreeable but then finally told me that they had planned a party for Saturday night. I was surprised. Mario has never done anything like that in the past so I had no idea. I asked if we could move the party to Sunday evening and we could still go out of town. Mario agreed and we packed our bags and just had to wait for kids to get out of school on Friday to leave. Mario and I decided to fit in a temple session before the kids got out of school and while sitting in the Celestial room, I felt that we shouldn't go on our trip. I don't know why, but when the spirit speaks, I try to listen.
So the party went on as planned but one family couldn't make it so I invited a couple other families to come. So we had close to 30 people Saturday night. It was a lot of fun to get together with friends. It was sweet that my family planned it for me and I feel slightly guilty that I almost ruined it by insisting that we go out of town.
