green tea, surprises, and dancing...

As I sit here wrapped in a brightly colored fleece blanket, and am sipping some wonderful green tea, I’ve decided to share what went down last evening.

Yesterday, as some of you may already know, was Laura Mitchell’s 22nd birthday.
She thought that we (Bethany Taylor, Pam McCarty, Christy Zbylut, Nicole Ballard, Laura, and myself) would be attending the Easter musical meeting from 6:00-7:45 and then would head over to Ruby Tuesday’s for appetizers and desserts. Then we would head back over to the Rhyno’s and play some DDR.
But that was only partly true...

So, at 7:45, we all headed over to Ruby’s and we all got some appetizers, (except Nicole, because she’s poor…but we shared with her… :-p ) and then we shared the free sundae that Laura got because it was her birthday. Oh yes. I almost forgot. The Ruby’s crew all came out and sang their birthday song to Laura! She blushed. It was cute.

Then we all, except Bethany, piled into my van and went over to the Rhyno’s. There were about 5 extra cars behind the house than there would normally be, and Laura was like “There are a lot of cars here…” And Pam covered with “Maybe he invited some people over after the Easter thing.”
Well, Laura believed that.

And then we walk in, and Pastor Scott walks out of the living room and says “Happy Birthday!” And then a bunch of people peek their heads around the living room door and chime in saying “Surprise!”. :) Needless to say, Laura turned as red as her jacket that she was wearing.
She put her head in her hands, and, if I’m not mistaken, I think she started to tear-up for a moment.
But she got herself under control and went and greeted everyone.

Then…

It was Dance Dance Revolution time.

That is THE most fun game I have ever played.

If you haven’t played it, you have to.
Right now.
Seriously.

Laura kicked some serious butt, and I did pretty well the majority of the time.
Even if we did mess up it was SO fun.
It was awesome seeing Pastor Scott join in…
Too funny…

Well. That’s just an overview of the evening.
Once again: If anyone knows how to post videos on here, I would be very happy.
As would you. Because I have a video from the party.

I end this post with a photo:

That's really cute of him! What a thoughtful guy.

OH yeah. The photo IS pretty lovely.

It reminds me of an old 1963 Batman episode...

All she needs is a cowl and a cape.
