That I have never done anything for him for his birthday! I would have to say that I am at the top of the list now! LOL
Last week, Jeanne asked Bonnie and I if we wanted to go to the Bears/Packers game this weekend. She had 2 extra tickets and she usually asks us even though we aren’t Packer fans because we so FUN! haha We said sure, we’d go which means I am driving. Well my sister is the other half of Jeanne and goes with her to the games but she remembered that my nephew got asked to go to his first real birthday party (not one that consists of family) and she needed to be home to take him.
I talked with Bonnie about it and I said I would be able to find someone to go with me to the game but to give me a bit of time. I would definitely have someone to use the ticket. Well I knew Jon was coming home to party for his birthday on Saturday and I figured I would ask him. If he didn’t want to go, that was fine but I figured I could do something for his birthday. I’ve never done anything for his birthday before.
Friday night after my niece’s birthday party, I waited for Jon to get home with my cousins. I told him I had a proposition for him. He looked at me kind of leery hahaha. So I asked him if he would like to go to the Packer game on Sunday. He asked who they were playing. The bears. He thought about it for a sec and was like sure, yeah I’ll go. Then he’s all “I have to call my Buddy ***, he’s a Bears fan and let him know I am going.” Then it turned into, “The game is televised hey?”
When I got home, I had received a text from Jeanne that said Ruth told her that I wanted to know if the seats were together. And they were. So I told her I found someone to go with me. She didn’t know I was looking for someone and I told her that if she had someone else in mind that I could let him know but I also had a feeling that he was going to back out on me at last second. She was cool with it and I told her who it was. She asked if he was excited. I said, “At first it didn’t seem like but then he started asking questions so yeah he’s excited.” I also told her I figured him to be either still drunk or really hungover when we went because his birthday was Saturday and he came down to party with the family.
On Saturday, I didn’t see Jon and I didn’t go over to the house to party because I was so exhausted. I called the house and told my niece to let him know that I would be picking him up on Sunday morning between 9 and 9:30. She asked if I wanted him to call me back. I told her to tell him to call me ONLY if he wasn’t going. He called back that night..at midnight! Talked to my mom because I was already in bed.
The next morning, my mom got up before I left and told me that he was going and that he would call me in the morning. I called him right before I left and woke him up. I told him I would be there in a 1/2 an hour and to be ready. I went to pick up the girls at Jeanne’s, filled up my gas tank, ran to my sisters and picked him up.
On the way down I bought him breakfast, at the game I bought him hot chocolate and after the game I bought him dinner! That was his birthday present from me.
When we sat down in Lambeau, he looked around and said, “This is AWESOME.” This was his first NFL game and even though he wasn’t a fan of either team, he really did enjoy himself. I had a BLAST at the game.
When I dropped him off, I told him to give me a hug and as he’s hugging me he says, “That was AWESOME, thank you so much for taking me.” I said “You’re welcome.”
So Happy 32nd Birthday Jon! I’m glad to have celebrated with you and you enjoyed yourself. And just remember, you are old and that you get there before I do! hahaha
OH! And thanks to Jeanne for letting me go with her to the game and for letting me bring Jon! LOL Jeanne…YOU ROCK! LOL
