30 days of love
I have to say that I have had many wonderful gifts with this month long celebration, but Carlos toped it all when I got this today...
Jacinda is HERE! In Atlanta! In my house!
I had a hunch that Carlos was up to something. I even thought it was this, but the way it went down had me thrown way off guard.
I talked to Jacinda yesterday and she had no time to chat because she was throwing her dad's 50th birthday party last night. We had talked in detail about this party so I knew she was telling the truth. However last night Carlos was acting funny. He said "What could I do tomorrow that would make your birthday the best birthday ever? " Because he was asking such funny questions and acting awkward I was thinking that there was a big possibility that J was going to be coming. What was throwing me off was this birthday party for her dad.
This morning Carlos left early because he had a "video to shoot". I questioned his story, but in my head knew that there was no way Jacinda could throw a party in Fresno and get to Atlanta by the morning so I thought his story was legit. When he returned home i took a double take in his car just to see if he was alone. He was. So he came in and looked at me with THOSE kind of eyes and told me he was horny and needed some special time. As the great wife that I am we went up stairs and did the deed. Once we came down Carlos told me to look at my present and there Jacinda was sitting on my couch. I was so excited! I cried, of course I did... that's what I do now that I am thirty.
We sat and laughed at the means Carlos took to get me upstairs so he could get Jacinda inside without me knowing it. I mean it was a win win. He knew he would have me for at least a few minutes locked up in our room plus he got a present too!
I love my man! He has made me feel so loved. This however takes the cake. I am so excited to have my best friend here. To meet all my new friends, to see my church, to see my life.
Oh and by the way she did have the party, took the red eye and made it here by 8am! H





That a great story...w/ a little too much information.
Happy birthday!

I am so torn between joy for you and way TMI.
"He knew he would have me for at least a few minutes..."=Priceless blogging material!!

Awww.. honesty! Gotta love it! Yah for Best Friends!!! Have a blast....

Wow. Um. Yeah.
Congrats.
And that is an interesting way to get your wife distracted.
I think I might have to try that sometime.

um, my first thought (after thinking, "ummmmm....") was " that could be a little awkward for her sitting downstairs if you didn't know...anyways..yeah.
glad you are having fun! close friends are the best!

Lol, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's a little tmi! What a great gift. I love my BFF to pieces & I can't imagine being parted from her. Enjoy her visit!

What a great birthday present. Have fun with your BFF! :)
Posted by: Vanessa | July 23, 2008 at 03:52 PM
Okay.
#1 Wow. I would love to sit and have a conversation with you. You are some serious fun. You could get Carlos to fly me in anytime. I know we are not BFF's, but really, does that even matter?
#2 After reading your 30 days of love I am thinking this needs to be implemented in my life. Hmm. 32 days of love this year.

Happy 30th

I love the honesty truly a breath of fresh air. I'm super envious I miss my best friend from back home and I would love to get surprised with that but oh well ain't happening. Happy birthday!

There is nothing like having your best friend for a visit! Tons of brownie points to Carlos for this one. I hope Jacinda wasn't too weirded out knowing what was going on in the bedroom!

have a GREAT time together, i'm so happy for ya'll!
p.s.~tell her i said "hi" (after all, we are blog friends). ;)

Ok, that is really a true friend who will sneak into your house knowing what is going on upstairs!
I hope you and Jacinda have an amazing time together!

Yes. That was not TMI. Please don't ever stop being you and sharing what is on your heart.
Bring the SANDALS Side to the ATL.
We love sex and talk about it often.

Seriously, two questions:
1-Did Carlos have a backup plan or was he confident his tactic was going to work?
2-What were the kids doing?! Because that's always my issue.

LOL.....this is CLASSIC!!!!! I hope you and Jacinda have a wonderful time together. Its such a blessing to have a great husband and a great friend.

Kristy... The kids were in their room. They know all about special time! As we told them that they were gonna watch Losiah in their room because mommy and daddy were gonna have special time, Seanna looked at me and said... "Get naked" I looked at her and said why? Only to have her comment of "because that is how you do it" They know! I love it. H

hilarious... the story and the follow up comment. Your kids are gonna grow up like me and my sisters - my parents were just like you guys. ;)
Posted by: alicia | July 23, 2008 at 11:28 PM
I think I read your blogs too much. As soon as I saw the pic of Jacinda, I knew who she was and how special she is to you. I instantly teared up when I saw Jacinda. Carlos rocks!! Totally happy for you, H.
Posted by: Simone | July 23, 2008 at 11:29 PM
Oh, and I don't think it was TMI. It's natural and besides, you are hot, Los is hot, gotta be some friction!
Posted by: Simone | July 23, 2008 at 11:34 PM
Awesome surprise! Surprises are so much fun when you really have no idea what's coming next. (I think anyways!) You've got a great man and great friend. Hope you have a blast together :)

Okay... you got me on the "he would have me for at least a few minutes" too!

I find this hilarious that she was waiting patiently, while knowing the strategy that was being used.
Way too funny.

OK!! Best blog post yet!! Hands down...this made my morning!!
*wiping away tears from laughing and crying*
while I did blush alittle from your bluntness.....I still think it's way cool. I can just imagine the conversations you have with your friends!! And kudos for teaching your children from the get go..what it means for mommy and daddy to have their "alone" time...I mean "get nekkid" time (to quote Seanna) ahhh priceless!!!!
How long is your BFF here for??? I can just imagine your head is rolling trying to fit a whole bunch of stuff into the schedule!! LOL!!!

You guys are both so gorgeous! And obviously such great friends :)
Have a blast these next few days!
