Two years ago I threw Jonathon his first ever surprise birthday party for his 29th, now I'm trying to amp it up for his 31st with a surprise expense-paid trip to his favorite city- New York!
Jonathon has been infatuated with New York City for many many years, but he has never seen it at Christmas and I think this would be an amazing birthday gift to him. He knows absolutely nothing about this fund raiser, so please don't tell him!!!
I know this is not a particularly charitable cause, so please
don't feel like you have to help! I just thought it would be such a
nice gift from all of his friends and family if he were able to see
his favorite place in the world at Christmas time. Everyone who
donates WILL get credit for chipping in as a contributor! This is not
going to be a gift from me. It is a gift from you guys! His birthday
is October 7th, and if the money is raised by then, he will receive
the "voucher" for his birthday so we can start planning the
trip for December. All of the money will help cover flight and
accomodations for a 4-night stay in New York.
(You may recall that I spent quite a lot of time in New York City this summer working as a nanny and that Jonathon had the opportunity to come visit twice. "Why are you wanting to go for his birthday if you were just there?" you may ask. Good question! I recently accepted a job at the University of Alabama in Huntsville as an Admissions Counselor to leave behind my years as nanny. While this is an awesome change for us, it means we have to say goodbye to spending lots of time in New York City. This is an opportunity to see it one more time before we say goodbye for a while.)
