Happy 49th Birthday!

Patrick's 49th birthday was on January 23 and I had a surprise for him! I told him that the girls were going to be working on Monday the 23rd and asked if we could celebrate on Friday when they would be off work and we could all be together. Of course he said "Sure!"

But remember what I said........I had a surprise for him!! You see we have a beautiful theater here in Indianapolis, it's called the Murat, and one of Pat's favorite comedians was going to be entertaining there the weekend after his birthday! So I went downtown to the theater to try to buy tickets and after some searching in the computer the lady at the window begins shaking her head no and finally said, "There are no seats available." I was so disappointed and angry at myself for not getting there sooner but actually I never imagined this would be a sold out event! I explained to the lady that I had wanted to suprise my husband for his birthday with a show featuring his fav comedian and she said, "Hold on just a minute, let me check one more thing." Then I hear her say to herself, "Wow! I can't believe those are available!" She steps back up to the window and tells me that she isn't sure why these are available but a VIP season holder had made their seats available for purchase for that particular evening and the seats are the ROYALTY SEATS 1 & 2!!!!!! THE BEST SEATS IN THE THEATER!!!!!! BUT, I would have to pay more per ticket. Of course my first thought is that the price will be way out of my range but I asked anyway, "How much more?" She said, "They are an additional $5 per ticket to cover the cost of us handling the sale for our season ticket holder. OMG!!!! I just about yelled out! What a fortunate stroke of luck!! Those tickets are mine!!!

I invited the girls to go out to dinner with us and told Pat that I wanted to go to a nice restarant for dinner. (I had to tell him a nice dinner so that he would be dressed up a little bit for the theater!) At the end of dinner I told him that I would take care of the bill because this evening was his birthday surprise from me! He looked very confused and that was when I pulled out the tickets and told him about the rest of the evenings plans. He couldn't believe it!! Look at this face........is that one of disbelief or not?

I could hardly contain myself! It was so sweet seeing his face when I told him that I had very special theater tickets for him and when he realized who he was going to see he was ecstatic! The evening was perfect and we were so close to Larry that we could reach out and touch him!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAT!!!!! I LOVE YOU!
