Surprise!!!

So this year my Mom turned 50 and I wanted to surprise her and have a party with her family and friends. It was all set to go and then there was a big accident involving a Fed-Ex truck on I-80 that closed the freeway for hours. It looked like the party was going to have to be postponed. But then we heard they had opened lanes and people could finally get in and out of Tooele County. So we called people and told them the party was back on and people began to come out!! Well those lanes of traffic ended up being VERY slow moving lanes and it took some of our family almost 4 hours to get to our house!! I felt awful!! We should've just canceled but how could I have known right?! Well the party turned out great regardless and our weary travelers were fed well and we had a great time visiting before they headed back out for their trek home!! Mom was surprised but wished she would've known so she would've gotten more dressed up for the occasion!! She looked beautiful and we wouldn't have had it any other way.....except for the traffic part, but what can you do right?! I am so thankful for my sweet mom and all that she does for me and my little family. She has always loved me inspite of me and supported us in all we do!! Thanks for being such a great mom and for being an amazing example of service and love! This year marks the beginning of wonderful things for you!! Embrace the 50's and enjoy all that life has to offer! Love you♥
