After digging trenches in Italy for several weeks, Becca came back to Jersey for her birthday. We (myself, her dad, her mom, Beth and Bryan) had been scheming while she was away to plan some nice suprises. First, when Becca arrived at the airport, her mom (who is living far away in Wisconsin) was there to pick her up: Surprise Number 1. A few days later, we took Becca out to dinner at one of her favorite spots, Chevys. During dinner her parents (who Becca thought were not coming) picked Beth up from the airport and brought her to the restaurant: Surprise Number 2. The next day, Becca’s parents took her out to dinner so Bryan could arrive at their house before they could get back from the restaurant: Surprise Number 3.
That was all the surprises we had in store, but there was still more fun to be had. The following day (Saturday), Becca’s friends from DC (Barb, Jody and Carrie) came up to visit and they joined the NJ crew (plus a few) for the formal birthday celebrations. Much fun and Mexi-munch was had by all. Some Trivial Pursuit was played, Mickey Blue Eyes was watched on video, My Big Fat Greek Wedding was seen in the theater, and the passive voice was used (here, at least).
The following day — Becca’s actual birthday — was celebrated with more food and Office Space.
All in all, I think Becca was quite pleased. But you can mail her yourself and find out…
WOO! Becca RULES!
I missed a viewing of Office Space?! Dammit.
It’s fun to be the surprisey-people. 🙂 Besides, I’m the one who introduced most of you to her in the first place! So HA!
