My Early Birthday Celebration

Since Jaime is going to be gone on training during my birthday this year, we celebrated it yesterday. The plan was to meet down in Clarksville in the afternoon to do some shopping before going to the Derby Dinner Theater. When she called me in the morning, we were both ready to head down right away, so we met a little early for lunch before shopping. We went to Red Lobster (of course) and on top of lunch we had yummy frosted drinks and chocolate dessert. Then we headed over to the mall to do a little shopping. We walked around some different stores but spent the most time in New York & Co. They were having really good sales and we tried on so many different clothes. It was just fun trying on different outfits. I got a cute new purse and some tops and bottoms. I also got a suit for $16, that's right, $16. The day could have ended there and it would have been a good day. But we still had the dinner theater to go to. We had to stop off at Kmart to pick up some ibuprofen to kill the slight headache that was forming. We also got some breathe mints for Jaime now that she can't chew gum due to her spacers (she's getting braces). When we got to the theater, there were balloons tied to my chair. I was so excited and surprised. We had dinner and then, of course, dessert again. I have been craving strawberry shortcake all summer so that's what I got. Jaime got chocolate again, of course. After dinner, there was a little pre-show. Then they brought out a little birthday cake with a sparkler in it! I was so excited. Since we already had dessert (Jaime didn't want to ruin the surprise) we just tucked the cake away in a box. The play was Beauty and the Beast, my most favorite Disney movie. The play was amazing. The actors were incredible. They sang all of the songs from the movie as well as some other ones just for the play. And we now have a thing for French candlesticks. If you went to the play, you'd understand why. The whole day, from start to end, was absolutely wonderful. I cannot say enough how wonderful my early birthday celebration was. It was such an amazing day. I could never thank Jaime enough for making my day so special.
