Birthday Surprise: A “Must Blog”
Posted on May 18, 2008 | Filed Under Family, XL
Wow, what a night it has been. As you can tell, I haven’t been blogging all that much lately, but my surprise birthday celebration tonight at XL pretty much requires a blog. It was awesome! It was a total surprise and we had a blast. Tiffany, Gina, Craig, and Jonathan worked really hard to put the party together. Zack and Bob from the Sonic brought me 41 (one to grow on) cheeseburgers. My nephew, Ryan, worked hard to put together a video of my family. Shelly, my sister in law, did the video of my brother and their boys. And, then James Wisener, Courtney Cash, and Sparky came to town for the special night. And, of course, Big Daddy came and spoke a little and THE MICK pretty much ran the whole party. He’s the man!! I truly appreciated everything that everyone said. It was really cool to be a part of it.
So after all that, we got to eat some really cool cakes made by Randy and Erica Todd. Erica is starting her own business and she ROCKS!!! You really need to call her if you need a cake for anything at all. I’ve had a number of them and she ain’t messed it up yet. I know there were probably a ton of other people involved in setting up cake and cleaning all of that up. Thank you so much!
For all the other random gifts and encouraging cards and all that, THANK YOU ALL!! I am blessed to have so many good friends and such a cool ministry to be a part of. I can’t even start to thank God for all that He has blessed Tiffany and me with since we came to Rome. We’re just fired up about being here and being a part of what He has planned. I REALLY look forward to seeing what He has planned for the next 40 years.
So, thanks again to everyone involved and everything you did. You are all awesome and I appreciate all of your effort. Let’s do this again in 10 years!
Peace,
