Surprise Birthday Party!

As you all may have known, my 21st birthday was yesterday, March 20th! For my birthday I didn't want anything extravagant however it was my twenty-first so I wanted to plan something fun... Two major problems: One: Our lives are always ridiculously busy and I never wanted to take the time aside to create set plans, and Two: Trent is a boy, and as we all know, boys can never plan anything! ;) A few days ago on Friday I was giving Trent greif because it was almost my birthday and we hadn't set anything in stone, so he called me up at work and asked if I wanted to go to Park City on Sunday and stay over. Of course, I agreed. Sad thing is - Park City was my idea. I was feeling pretty bummed at this point because I had thought maybe he has already planned that or something else, you see...

About two weeks before I got an email from Trent at work asking my favorite restaurants, when I inquired as to why he said "we're going to lunch for work". And so asking my favorite restaurant makes sense, how? Hahaha... So I had a small hunch that something was up! But at the same time people kept asking me to make plans on the weekend and Trent kept responding with "yeah that's fine!". Which confused me even more... was something planned? Or was I just getting my hopes up?

Saturday night rolls around and we're hanging out with my family in West Haven deciding where to go to dinner... Everyone suggested Chili's. If you know Trent and I very well, we don't know how to cook, and always end up eating at Chili's around 9:00 p.m. That being said, I really, really didn't want to go to Chili's for my birthday dinner; but they were able to talk me into it! We show up at around 6:30 and walk inside, nothing seems out of the ordinary. I see my mom waving us over and I turn the corner to head her way.

Right as I turn, all of my best friends yell "SURPRISE!!". Trent had indeed planned a surprise birthday party for me :) And pulled it off quite successfully, might I add! Even after thinking something was up, I was still very shocked... After that I felt very guilty for giving Trent the run-around on Friday... Haha, love you sweetheart. Thank you for all you do for me! I also love my family very, very much and all those friends that could make it! You guys really are awesome and I'm so grateful to have you all! :)

Here's some photos of the evening!
