Golden Birthday..

Richard is turning 29 this year

on March 29.

Therefore, it is his golden birthday!

I wanted to make it exciting for Richard,

so I planned a surprise party for him!

Since I usually work weekends,

I told him I was working on the 22

(the planned day of the party).

His family planned to go to dinner

so he was gone while I set up the party

and everyone arrived.

I told everyone to arrive at 6:30

and hoped Richard would come around 6:40.

Richard's mom texted me at 6:30

saying Richard was on his way

and no one had arrived yet!!!

I started to freak out, so 

they stalled Richard while everyone arrived.

And, luckily, Richard was completely surprised!!

He had the best smile because he was so happy.

His best friends all arrived, and it meant so much to me

that all of our closest friends came to celebrate.

We truly are so blessed with the incredible 

people in our lives.

Jon took this picture and...

it didn't turn out too well. ha.

It probably didn't help that

Ashley wanted the balloons we were holding..

Richard's birthday gift from Erin, Mike & Finn..

Best and only gift of the night.

 This picture reminds me of UP. Loved the balloons.

These two friends of mine are probably the most

supportive girls I have ever met.

I couldn't be more blessed to have them in my life.

I love this man more than I ever thought I would.

Making him happy is the greatest feeling.

Surprising him is even better.
