This past weekend was some kind of weekend for Shari.
She attended the Beth Moore conference in Boise with the Acteen girls and after arriving home to what she no doubt hoped would be a relaxing rest of her weekend, we had something else in mind.
After several "near-miss" run-in's with Shari in the parking lot of the church, when she arrived to drop of girls from the conference; a crew inside, busily worked to prepare a surprise- she finally drove off. Whew!
What she did not know was that for the past couple of months we had been preparing the surprise party of her life. She was about to turn 40 and we just couldn't pass up on the opportunity to remind her.
After a few well designed "stories" we got Shari to the church. As she walked in to yells of surprise I have no doubt once again that she truly appreciated this humiliation from the bottom of her heart.
Today is actually Shari's birthday; May 20th. I called her just a moment ago and asked to go to the bathroom mirror and take a deep look at that 40 year old looking back. Ha ha!
I Love You Shari and Happy Birthday!

Thank you to all of you!!! Espcially to you, John. I not only was truly suprised, but also overwhelmingly blessed by the ones who shared Saturday nite with us. I KNOW that this has been the best birthday EVER and turning 40 wasn't so bad after all. I love you, honey!! It was a nite I will never forget!!
