I didn't think Nicki had it in her. I knew she would want to throw a surprise party for my cumpleanos since she loved being surprised, and I kept on catching her in her lies...it wasn't hard...leading up to my birthday. But I starting doubting as the day rolled on because we went into Manhattan in the morning and we filled our day with little "surprise errands." Then, when the night came she tried to blindfold me on the subway so she could walk me to our final destination; however, I was not about to let her walk me through Manhattan blindfolded - I knew it would have been filled with, "oops, I forgot to tell you about that step/hole/taxi..." Anyway, we arrived at Rockefeller Center where they had ice skating and I gave her props for the good idea. I also figured at that point that there is no way we were meeting anyone there because it would be hard to try and coordinate people meeting there. Then, when I was waiting to skate I saw Jovin (one of the little boys that Nicki teaches in our ward) and still didn't think that they had come for birthday. I thought, "wow that is crazy that they came ice skating, too!" Then I realized when someone else we know showed up right after them, that Nicki had pulled off the impossible...actually throwing me a surprise party in the city. We had "Serendipity Night," consisting of ice skating and getting dessert at Serendipity afterward. I was impressed with the people she was able to get in contact with to come...it was serendipitous.

I'm glad you had a nice birthday. I feel bad that I never mailed the birthday card that Maizy and I colored for you, I ended up sticking it in the recycle bin the other day. I still don't know where you live. I love to read about you guys in "The Skid." I'm excited to read your blog now too.
You finally get the blog, don't tell me about it, I finally find it, and now you don't even update it?!!! Something exciting has to have happened to you since FEBRUARY! I think I am going to have to come visit you and teach you how this blogging thing REALLY works :D
We hear you guys don't get on your blog very often because of your busy lives, but we figured we'd leave you our blog address in case you have time someday. We miss you and hope you guys are doing well! mattandmeaganharrison.blogspot.com

Nice birthday surprise, props Nicki. I am new to this whole life of blogging but I love seeing all your pictures. I laugh to myself every time I pass Park Place. Things have really changed since then.
