My Birthday

Yesterday I turned 30 years old...I know...crazy!!! At first I was a little scared to turn 30, but now I'm loving it!!! Specially because I don't look 30!!!! So it's cool to tell my age and see people's reaction...specially when I add that I have 3 kids! :)
My day was great...started out with me helping out in Juju's class for an hour in a half. After that it was time to drive down town to meet Chad at a German restaurant....LOVE their food...the kids all really enjoyed too and the best part is too shop in the store after with all those awesome German cookies and chocolates and so forth...very yummy!
When I dropped Chad off at the church office building down town he told me to take a look inside the kids old testament book that there would be something there...so when I got home this is what I found:

Dear Mrs. Butler,

In connection with your application for the position of Secret Agent, you are requested to submit to a series of standardized tests that will be used to judge your field worthiness. Each test will require that you follow strict protocol for communicating with your contact. Once all field worthiness tests have been completed satisfactorily, you will receive details of your first training operation. Good luck!



Contact Location:

Contact Protocol:

You must greet your contact with the words “I’m looking for a book on stars”. Your contact will respond by saying, “Do you like stars that twinkle?” Then, you must sing the song “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”.


Can you tell we have been watching Alias??!!! Lol....I loved the criativity with COA!!! Instead of CIA...there was the CIA symbol in the letter too but I can't get it to download in here...so at this point there was nothing to do but to go follow the letter and go to my friends house when I got there she wasn't home but her mother was...so I sang to her instead and she gave me another envelope. This is what I found inside:

So I drove to my other friend's house Debbie...there...I sang to her too!!! :p We were laughing pretty hard...she then handed me another envelope...so after we visited for a while I opened the envelope and found this:

Dear Mrs. Butler,

In connection with your application for the position of Secret Agent, you are requested to enroll in secret agent training. The details of your training program are listed below:


5:00 PM – Secret Agent Pedicure Treatment (Cottage Retreat Day Spa)

6:30 PM – Dinner (Location of Your Choosing)

8:30 PM – Secret Agent Massage (Massage Envy)


At this point it was already 4:00 so I ran as fast as I could to shower and get ready...shortly before 5:00 Chad arrived and stayed with the kids while I went out to be pampered!!! :) After my pedicure I met Chad for a good old Brazilian Churrasco!!! YUMMMM.....and after that he took me for my massage appointment...it was an hour in half...very nice...the hour in a half went by too fast! Then it was time to go home where Cindy was taking care of the kids...they were all 3 already asleep.
Thank you again Chaddy for yesterday...I had a great time and I must say that if there is such a thing as a perfect husband...you are it!!!! :) I had lots of fun laughing with my friends during this quest and then lots of fun with you. I love you with all of my heart and then some more! :)

Hugs and getting older
