On Saturday, September 27, I was very pleasantly surprised. My husband had a surprise 60th Birthday Party for me. Now if you knew my husband, you would now how very special this was. He managed to get our family and friends to pull off the most wonderful birthday I've ever had.
He got me out of the house around 10 a.m. on that day and kept me out untill a little after 12:00 p.m. (when the guests were to arrive). Imagine my surprise when we came around the corner and I saw all the parked cars and the people in the yard.
My daughter had brought over about 20 MUMS and they were sitting all over the yard. The entire decor was done in a beautiful lavender. The house was lovely inside and out and even the cake had lavender frosting. Amazing! My daughter, daughters-in-law, and my very dear friend, Marge, all worked together to make this day so special to me. My sons all helped to set up and to clean up. They all put in hours and hours of hard work and I am greatful to them all.
And to my dear, sweet husband, I give the biggest THANK YOU! He put away money for some time for this special event.
Trent gave up Special Olympics that day to stay home and be a part of this. In fact, one of our other sons left that morning to take him to Special Olympics (or so I thought). Imagine my surprise when I arrived home and there he was!! My oldest brother drove almost 200 miles each way just to spend a few hours with me.
There were about 35 people in all! What an enjoyable day I had (and how happy I was that I had cleaned house the day before!!!) I truly felt like Queen for a Day! Thank you to all of you who came and helped to make this day so special!!
And to all of you who are wondering--NO! I do not feel like 60! It's just a number. I am asking God for many, many more because I have much left to do for Him!!
I thank God for friends and family. God is so good!
