Today is my hubby's 30th birthday. Hurray!! Happy Birthday Hun! (I just said that for the sake of saying it publicly. He doesn't read my blog.)
I have a desire to make birthdays in our family a special time, maybe starting some traditions that carry on through the years, but I have yet to reach anything close to my ideal picture. Last year definitely didn't turn out like I thought it would, as I shared with you. But this year I have a plan. This year I am throwing a surprise dessert party. With people invited.
Yes, I have chosen to host my first, more-than-just-best-friends party this Saturday. And a surprise to boot. I'm nothing if not ambitious (actually I am quite a few things more than ambitious, but I won't get into that now!).
Since the party is Saturday night, I am not doing anything huge today. I am making a cake for him to have, and supper will be...well actually supper isn't super special since we didn't get our pay-cheque until yesterday so I haven't been able to replenish our meat supply. But the cake he requested is a Lemon Chiffon cake. I have never made one before. Things that I haven't made before sometimes go very, very wrong. So I'm crossing my fingers and praying that it turns out.
I have been busy cleaning the house and baking all the desserts this week. I had a nice plan where I would make one dessert a day this week, but that flopped since yesterday I had a really bad headache, so I didn't get any baking, or any cleaning at all done. So now I'm bunching up a little the last couple days.
I am a little nervous about having all these people in my house. We've had Biblestudies here, but this is different. The only purpose is to come socialize and eat our food. I don't want everyone to be bored! I don't want them to hate my food! What if there are large amounts of awkward silence?! Oh goodness. I think I'm just going to not think about it.
I love the idea of hospitality, but am definitely a little more socially awkward than not. So this is a big leap for me. But Mark loves being social. So I knew that he would so appreciate having all his friends with him.
