Our Red Thread Journey - our old blog

Mandi's Birthday was soooo much FUN!!! We hired the limo and she was totally surprised - she says she had no idea. Her friends were just too sweet and so much fun to watch. The music was blaring, the girls were laughing, singing, dancing and acting like typical middle school girls having the time of their lives. I loved seeing my sweet, reserved and all around good girl let loose a little bit. I think I saw a trace of her momma (who did her fair share of letting loose back in the day). :) Who knew?!!! Even though it was FREEZING cold that night, they kept rolling down the window so people could see WHO was in the limo.

The girls thought it was especially cool that our limo driver just happened to be Jane*t J*acks0n's personal butler! I had no idea when I booked him. Apparently he had told her of his moonlighting plans for the evening and she said to send birthday wishes to Mandi! The driver said he tried to get us into her recording studio but was not able to at that time of night. Oh well, the girls just loved that they were riding in her limo and their little brush with fame.



And this is what Linzi thought of the whole limo scene! LOL!!! Actually, she was quite, ummmm, shall we say, challenging that night! It was one melt down after another, starting with the wardrobe change that she insisted on right as the limo was pulling up and Mandi was being surprised. I spent most of the night just trying to keep her consoled. Poor baby. I thought the party was just too overwhelming for her, but it turns out, she was getting sick. The next day was the beginning of what has been the worst sick week I can remember in a long time!
