Happy Birthday to Me (4 days early)

I have only had a couple surprise parties thrown for me. I was somewhat clued in to them and was never totally surprised, until yesterday. The Central Phoenix folks gave me a surprise birthday cake and I was soooooooo unsuspecting. Carl's Jr. had called a "Leadership Meeting" over at the hospital and I was totally focused on what in the world the meeting was about, in fact, I was kind of freaking out about it (ask Plankton) so when I walked in the room I was truly surprised and very happy. It totally made my week. The team is so awesome! They even got me the cake that I have been wanting to try for months. (Thanks Dora for remembering the details ;) I first saw this type of cake at La Grande Orange and ever since I have been wanting to try it. Yay! Thank you all very much for giving me this great surprise, I still can't believe that I was actually totally surprised! CRAZY!




Lastly, what my team did not know was that most of my life I celebrated my birthday with my grandfather. His birthday was December 19th and yesterday he would have been 91. So, for me, as I reflect on the very nice thing the team did for me yesterday, I also reflect on my grandfather. He was truly a great and honorable man, I'd give anything for a 5 minute conversation with him. As you go about your day today, think of those that have inspired you and make the time to give them a quick call.
