What should I say...but a super hyper mega huge THANK YOU.
I come back from work on Friday night, jump into my sweat pants, grab a cup of tea, seat on the sofa and I can finally relax after an exhausting week at work.
Well it won't be for too long because someone just knocked at the door. Shit, probably the landlord who lives next door...what does he want again...wow! It's Seb, Astrid, Marie and Adam who just drove all night to surprise me and spend my birthday with us. Awesome! Now I know why Rachel had me clean the entire apartment!
Despite our friends tiredness, we're finishing the night around a pictionnary game and it's then time to go to bed (we let the wives win).
Saturday Morning after a short trip to the mall, we're heading to the city as Rachel made a reservation at a restaurant in West Village. Just the time for a little walk at the X-mas market in Union Square under the snow (yeap it's snowed on my birthday, how cool is that) and we finally get to the restaurant Philip Marie with the nice surprise of seeing Bonne Maman, Sara, Beverly, David, Pat and Arlette there.
Hey who's that person seating next to Bev....oh SHIT! Hiding behind their menus, Maman, Papa, Tonton, tata, Claire and Ivan made the trip as well, all the way from France! Now I'm looking also for my borthers...maybe they're somewhere behind the bar or disguised as waiters! Nope, but I'll have the occasion to speak with them over the phone later in the evening.
So after recovering from the shock, the evening went on and we all had a great night that ended at the Norwood Lounge (thanks so much for that Ron) where Jason, Jen, Barbara and Massimo were again waiting for us to get there! Wow this is never stopping. I'm so glad I could share all that with all of them!
The Lameau family left us on Monday morning as they went back to Quebec, my family replaced them in our apartment, and me, well...I'm still enjoying all of them and all the special moments that come with it!
Thank you SO much to those who came from far and less far to make me feel so special with a place in their heart, thank you for my gifts, thank you for having lied to me (in a good intention), thank you to the air mattresses/GPS/sheets loaners...and a enormous, humongous thank you to my crazy amazing little wife for having organized the best surprise ever for my 30th one! I love you.

If anyone deserves to be surprised in a BIG WAY it is you! Have a good 30th year, and may it keep getting better!
Better? Should I expect something again? :)
It was really awesome! Bisous
C'est pas tous les jours qu'on a 30 ans! Apres tout ce que tu as fait pour moi l'annee derniere, ca m'a fait tres plaisir de te surprendre comme ca. :) Je t'aime.
Well...one can say that you totally surprised me! I can't believe you did all that...especially going to the city on a crowded Saturday night! :) Je t'aime aussi...et plus encore...
Happy Birthday Fabien! Rachel did such an incredible job with your surprise!
Thanks Jenny and Erik!
Wow, yeah I can't believe what she did! I guess that with things like this that you know your wife is the best you could have had and no one else :) Wish both you to have great great 1st holidays with Ellis.
