Let's do a little "series" type thing.
First off, my 21st birthday!
So flashback to a couple weeks before my birthday...I ask Mr. Bell if he's going to do something for my birthday. I mean it's kind of a big birthday. He responds by getting a little upset with me 'cause I asked. (Oops!)
Flash forward to my birthday...
It's about 3:30pm, Mr. Bell gets off work at 4:30pm. So I'm thinking an hour, sure, that's enough time. Well I go to put my dress on for that night, never worn, it was a birthday present from my aunt, and it rips. I guess my shoulders are too broad, it wouldn't fit over them and I pushed it. :( I was so upset. I thought, "okay, I'm going to have to learn how to sew in 5 minutes." I called down to the local family center to see if they had a small sewing kit. They did. I drove down there real quick, said "I'm the one that called about a sewing kit". One of the ladies working there brought me to get the sewing kit, I went back up to pay and confessed, "I don't know how to sew....". They immediately started teaching me how to do it. I said, "I have to have this fixed and on my body in 30 minutes, does anyone here want to sew it?" One of the ladies there ended up sewing it for me and I went home to put the dress on. I was seriously having a panic attack.
Anyway, I got the dress on, got my necklace on, finished my makeup. My friend came over to ride with Mr. Bell and I and we headed to St. Louis. The plan was to go to a casino, we just didn't know which one yet. The AmeriStar or the Lumiere. I kept trying to get Mr. Bell to go to the Lumiere but he insisted that we go to the AmeriStar for some reason. I didn't know what that reason was until we walked in. I walked over to the map to see what we could eat for dinner, look over to my right, and there's my mom, my dad, my grandma, Mr. Bell's parents, his aunt and uncle, and a couple of our friends from our new town. SURPRISE! I now knew why Mr. Bell was insisting we went to the AmeriStar.
So...with that lovely story, we ended up having a great time. We ate dinner, gambled a little bit, I won a little bit :) It was a great night!
Thank you to everyone who helped make this surprise a success.
Here's some pictures from that night.
