Mommy's 32nd Surprise B-Day Party

This year was the first time Song was able to surprise me. He's really bad at keeping secrets from me, so I heard he put my surprise 32nd birthday party together in 2 days. I thought we were just going out to dinner with the family, but when I came home to pick him up, I was really surprised when I opened the garage door. Silver birthday streamers where flying out and then my friends and family were waiting for me in the garage which was turned into a little party room.

Everyone was in on the surprise. My mom had the toughest job, because she had to keep me away from the house until party time. We were at the mall and I was extremely tired, so I just wanted to go home but she kept on taking me all over the place. My cousin, Henry, made all the food. We had steak, chicken and shrimp kabobs, potato salad, pasta salad, garden salad. My brother, Adam, and my sister-in-law to be, Lindsay, helped Song with the decorations. Lindsay also made me a birthday cake. Song made this birthday mural for me but he only took a picture of half of it and then threw it away. My other cousin, Seung Hoon, brought all the chairs and tables from my girlfriend, Vivi's house. Our neighbors, Tom and Elaine, were also in on the party. They lent us their grill for the food. We had a great time!

"What's going on Mommy? Why is everyone in our garage? Oh well, Happy Birthday!"

"Look at all the people who came to wish Mommy a Happy Birthday."

"Can you see the mural Daddy made for Mommy? It's supposed to be of the fountain in Central Park, NY. Mommy has been to NY several times but has never managed to see the fountain. She has only seen it in the movies."

"Here's Aunt Vivi, Alex and Lauren."

"Thank you for letting us borrow your grill, Tom and Elaine. We wouldn't of had the great food Uncle Henry made without it."
