WOW- What a Birthday!!

This by far is the best birthday I've ever had.Get cozy I have a lot to tell!! Obviously from earlier posts you read about the surprise party, but the fun didn't stop there. Thursday night before my birthday Krisitn & Andrea took me out to eat at Mi Pueblo. Then Friday was my actual birthday. I got soooo many birthday wishes on MySpace! I also received 2 bouquets of flowers. One from my brother Ryan, his wife Heidi, and my nephew Carter, and the other my friend Lindi from Evansville, she sent me 30 Daisies-my favorite! My Mom took me to lunch at Snack Shack. That night Kevin and I went to Applebee's to eat, we decide 2 hours on the road to Evansville for food was to tiring! Then we stopped by Maurice's and got me a pair of jeans. When we got home Kevin came around the corner with a ice cream cake with 3-0 candles singing Happy Birthday(the kids were at my Mom & Dads) We got to sleep in and then went to the post office to apply for our passports. That's right passports, we're going to Puerta Vallarta in June!! Whoo Hoo! Kevins long time friend Steven Hale is getting married there and Kevin is a groomsmen. We weren't going due to the price but his parents got us plane tickets for my birthday!! Saturday night my in-laws hosted dinner at their house. Kevin's aunt and grandma came down from Indy which meant a lot. Carolyn (my mil) had nice place settings out and hord'eurves and the whole nine yards! She even made a DVD of my life growing up with past pictures. Which if anyone has ever done it takes A LOT of time. Sunday was church then to my Mom's for a birthday lunch with my family. I got to have my favorite meal turkey a la king and a mayonnaise cake for dessert-yummy!! Then we played cards and watched the Colts. Now I'm home thinking back at how wonderful the weekend was. Soooo much food, presents, and great company. Thank you Kevin, Carolyn, and my Mom for a great birthday-love you all so much!!

It's a chocolate cake and mayo is used instead of eggs & oil. It makes it super moist!! Then a special icing is put on top of it, not sure the ingredients of that, I'll have to let you know. It's soooo good, maybe I'll have to drop one by for a house warming gift!!!!

Oh, so glad to hear you had such an awesome birthday!! You really do have some fantastic friends and family!! We went to Puerto Vallarta in May 2006...so much fun! The weather is perfect there. Hope you guys have fun!

I agree the mayo cake is good!! I think maybe it's an Amish recipe?.
