I cannot believe we're doing this. It's like GISHWHES practice or something.

Lemme ‘splain you a thing.

My last birthday party was in 1995 when I turned 18. It was awesome. My parents invited everyone I knew, all our family, it was great.

As far as I am concerned, my parent’s responsibility for throwing Jennster birthday bashes ended right there and then. I married a month before I turned 20, therefore, it then became my husband’s responsibility.

Yeah right.

21. Home with a newborn and a pint of ice cream.

25. Spouse deployed. Home with kids, pint of ice cream.

30. Olive Garden with Spouse. Nice, but no biggie.

35. Spouse deployed. Going through horrible depression. Woke up next morning and declared I was going to change my life.

I have always been the person that helped throw parties for others and I love that role. But sometimes people forget that the party planner sometimes needs a party too. I went into this week thinking maybe Spouse would do me a cake.

Then the little clues started trickling in.

I’m on the phone with Andythanfiction, and he says “tell your husband yes”.

OK. That’s weird.

Then, the 25th, the actual day, my kids are cleaning the house with a minimum of fuss.

This is suspicious.

Finally I go to take a shower and when I come out, I can hear my girl Erica and Andy, and my Meggie (wings-andgrace). I’m all happy because hello

I AM HAVING A BIRTHDAY PARTY!

And I am beyond satisfied with this. So we’re cooking and hanging out and it’s great and I turned around and HEATHER is standing there.

Heather. Met her through a fic called “In the Fold” (click to read, it’s awesome!) and we started talking on FaceBook. I’ve been dying to meet her, but she lives so damn far away.

Spouse says to her, you should come up for Jenn’s birthday and OH MY GOD, she did! She brought her gorgeous son, Dean (who is named for Mr. Winchester) who looks exactly like West Collins, and we had so much fun that night.

And that was just the beginning.

It’s been a crazy whirlwind birthday week, with trips to Richmond, and an all-nighter The Three Musketeers viewing, culminating in the EPIC HALF NAKED MARSHMALLOW BATTLE OF EPICNESS.

I’ve slept most of today, because I am beat.

But I have to stop and say thank you to some very awesome people.

First of all, Chris, my hubs, for bringing me my Heather and of course Heather for showing up!

Erica and Megan for coming to my party-ette.

Katie, Kelly, Kit, and Callie for hanging out with the craziness.

And once again, Andy, for simply being his amazing selfless self.

I love you guys. Thanks for making 36 a birthday to remember!

I am finding bruises on me that were NOT here yesterday morning.

Megan (wings-andgrace) comes to terms with the aftermath of an epic marshmallow battle.

Holy shit

I started hyperventilating at Blackjack.

Everyone needs to watch this.
