Birthday Time for Andrea!

Yesterday, for Andrea's birthday, Matt had planned the evening to the last detail (secretly and with a little help from super secret friends). He told Andrea that he had made dinner plans. Andrea changed her clothes, put her stuff in her 'date purse' and even put on some jewelry - she was ready for a nice sit down dinner with 2 of her favorite guys! They picked up Joe and headed south on I-5 toward Seattle ... "where could he be taking us??" Andrea wondered. He turned on to 520 and crossed the water toward Bellevue ... traffic was not pleasant ... but they were together and it was her birthday! Then he pulled into Burgermaster ... what?!

Matt hopped out and took Joe to 'wash his hands'. Andrea thought for sure that they weren't actually eating here ...

When they returned Matt turned on his headlights (to indicate they needed service) and they ordered. Andrea was talking all about her 2 hour conversation with Jennalee, her good friend that moved to Texas 5+ years ago. She talked about how they would come to Burgermaster and Jennalee would order a Turkeymaster and they would sit and talk and eat. She was talking and talking ... Matt was listening intently and smiling to himself - he knew he had outdone himself and Andrea was playing right into his hand!

When dinner arrived on a metal tray hooked on her window, Andrea brought in the food with an envelope ... Matt told her to open it.

It was an itinerary for a round-trip ticket to Texas!! Andrea smiled and bounced in her seat and hollered and hugged Matt! Upon looking at the dates she noticed that she'd be in Texas over Jennalee's birthday and that made the trip even more exciting!!

Matt mentioned that he had been directed to put pantyhose on his head ... and that he wasn't sure what that was all about.

"Have you ever done it? Cuz it's pretty d@*# funny!" Matt admitted that he hadn't tried it - he's missing out!! Andrea got a good laugh out of that - ahh memories!!

What a great husband! What a great birthday! What a GREAT surprise!! Matt's the BEST!!
