(Tom blowing out birthday candles as Brooke and Pat look on) Today is a wonderful day. The love of my life was born on this date (I won't tell you what year), and we're celebrating! Tom and I have been together almost 3 years, and look forward to every day together. We laugh, sing, shop, work in the yard and on the house, play with and walk the dogs, plan things together, and are 100% in love with each other. So, being his birthday - it's a day to celebrate. Tom's really shy and quiet- he's not into parties and big crowds, so pulling a small gathering together (in 2 days) and keeping it quiet, took a lot of effort, but I did it. I had called several friends yesterday that couldn't make it on a moment's notice, but it was hard to find time to make the calls...
Our friend Jeff came up from VA yesterday and helped pull it off. We went shopping, and Jeff treated us to a birthday dinner at Famous Dave's BBQ. We got back to our house with 15 minutes to spare before some friends would arrive. I bought a sheet cake and had it hidden in the garage, and brought out tablecloth, plates, napkins, etc. while Tom was upstairs moments before everyone arrived. Needless to say he was shocked! It was a lot of fun, though. Below are some pictures of the friends that made it, and most were taken from our friend Craig, a master photographer in his own right!
