Another surprise

Never saw this one coming but I love it! Thank you Ben!

My 40th Birthday

So, my awesome hubby and wonderful friends actually did it! They were able to surprise the planner for her big 4-0! I thought my party was tomorrow night, drinks and apps at Jolie Pearl Oyster Bar then dinner at IPO! Man was I wrong! They even had my parents in on the surprise, I thought Ben and I were going to dinner at Ruth Chris with them tonight!
