Life changes.

Two.

I wake up and smile. I kiss Austin and leave him a note telling him where I am going. I change and walk downstairs grabbing my wristlet and keys. I walk outside and lock the door before I head to my car and get in. Starting it up I head to Starbucks to start everything today. I wait in the drive-thru. I get up there and lean out the window some, “I would like a triple chocolate chip frappe please.” She tells me the price and I pull forward. I hand the lady a five dollar bill. She closes the window and a few minutes later open it back up and hands me my drink. I take a drink and smile. “thanks.” I pull forward and head to the store.

I park the car and grab my drinks and wristlet and head into the store. I grab a cart and start looking around. I grab the balloons and walk up to the guy asking for the banner to match. He told me it would be twenty minutes and I smile and walk back around. I pick out plates and napkins. I walk back to the guy and he hands me the banner. I walk up front and pay. I walk the cart out to my car and put the bags in the trunk. I get in the car and drive to the next place.

Parking the car I get out and head in and get Aubrey a doll and clothes to go with it. I get her a doll with a dress for her too. I get her some books and a cute dress. I walk up front and pay. I again walk the cart out to my car and put the bags in my trunk. I back out once more and head to the last store and pick up the cake. I pay and walk out and put it in the passenger seat.  Backing out I head home.

I pull up and Austin comes out and grabs all the bags taking them into the house. I grab the cake and take it inside putting it in the fridge.  Aubrey comes in smiling, “Hi Mommy.” I smile and pick her up kissing her, “Hi baby.” I put her down and watch her go play. Austin comes in and wraps his arms around me, “Everything is up.” I smile and kiss him, “Okay.”

I walk into the living room and pick up my phone and see confirmations from a few people. I smile and lean back, hoping Aubrey loves what is planned for tomorrow.

Getting up I get in the shower and get dressed in a cute sundress. I walk downstairs leaving my hair curly. I walk into the music room and grab the bags. I wrap the gifts and place them on the table in the living room. I take the plates and stack them on the kitchen table along with the napkins and cups. I get the banner out and hang it up in the hallway. I blow the balloons up and tape some to the wall and tie some to things. I take the two with designs and tie them to Aubrey’s chair. I smile and hear Austin getting Aubrey ready.

I hear a knock at the door and open it to see Hanna. I smile and let her in. She walks into the living room and picks up Aiden who is in his chair. I hear another knock and open it to see Trish and Dez. I smile and they rush to get Aiden from Hanna. I laugh at them because sooner or later Trish will win that battle. I hear another knock and see my dad and Austin’s parents. They pull me into a hug and kiss my cheeks, “We miss you.” I smile, “I miss you guys too.” Dad pull me into a hug and kisses my head, “I miss seeing you sweetie. How are you doing?” I smile, “Good.” Mimi sees Aiden and rushes off to get him with Austin’s dad and my dad heading towards the kitchen. I hear another knock and decide to just stand there. I open the door and see Gavin. “I’m not late am I?” I shake my head and he walks in and starts talking to Trish. I stand at the door and see Aubrey’s friend and her mom show up. They smile, “Hope we aren’t late.” I shake my head smiling, “No she is just getting ready.” They smile and walk in. I tell her where everything is. Right behind her a few of Aubrey’s other friends and parent come in. The party in all comes to six of Aubrey’s friends and their mom’s along with Dez, Trish, Mimi, Mike, Hanna, Gavin and Dad. I close the door and hear Austin coming down the steps. I smile and pick Aubrey up as he puts her down. “Hey birthday girl.” She smiles, “This many.” She holds up two fingers and I smile, “Yes, baby you are that many.” I put her down and she runs to her friends smiling. She then sees Trish and runs to her with her arms up. Trish picks her up and kisses her and she hugs Dez while Trish holds her. She moves to Hanna who kisses her head. She then sees her grandparents and screams. She runs to my dad who picks her up smiling wide and kissing her head, she hugs him. Then to Mimi and Mike who kiss her and hug her and she hugs them back. They put her down and I smile, “Let’s go outside.” I open the door and she smiles before going and playing with the tutus and tiaras and wands I have outside waiting for the girls to put on. She runs around playing with the dolls I have laid out and having a blast.
