For over a month now I had been planning a special surprise party for Chad since he was turning the big 30. It is very difficult for me to keep secrets from him. I nearly told him several times, but in the end we all surprised him, and it was worth the sneaking around. Because of the high anxiety and my soon-to-be 30-year-old heart, I don't think I could pull off another one! The cake was made at The Sweet Stuff (http://www.thesweetstuff.com/) here in Kyle. She did an awesome job. Chad's favorite cake is German chocolate so she did that inside.
In all the excitement, I forgot to take a group picture of everyone, so I want to send a special thank you to all of you that came...Kim, Allen, Patrick, Courtney, Rachel, Allen, Pastor Brandon, Nathan, Ryanna, all of our children, and a special thank you to Tim and Erin for letting us use their house and making all of this possible! We love everyone of you, and you all are what made this so memorable for Chad. He couldn't believe everyone took the time to come and celebrate his birthday like that! Thanks again!
