Matt did a fantastic job of pulling off a huge surprise for my 40th birthday. My birthday was on Friday this year. I had already planned to take the day off from work when we found out he would be out of town for work. He would fly home on the 23rd but wouldn't get in until almost 11pm . Since Matt was going to be out of town, my parents decided to come into town and help me celebrate my big day. They drove in Friday afternoon. I decided to keep the day off and dropped the kids off at school then did some shopping. By the time I got home from picking up the kids from daycare, my mom and dad were here. We decided to order dinner from a local restaurant and go pick it up. My dad ordered two meals and I thought it was odd but never imagined he did so because Matt was coming home early to surprise me. Just as we were sitting down for dinner the doorbell rang. It was Matt with a bunch of flowers!!!! I was thrilled. Saturday my mom and I had planned a shopping trip in the morning and we were going to meet my dad, Matt and the kids for lunch. Much to my surprise, Matt had arranged a surprise party lunch for me. My best friend, Jennifer, from Louisville drove down with her husband and baby. My best friend, Amy, drove from Indiana. Brian and Lori drove in from Macon. My mother in law drove in from Memphis. Then several of our best friends from the Nashville area made it with their kids. Completely overwhelming! He is a keeper that one! VERY VERY blessed. It was an AMAZING day. If you have to turn 40, this is the way to do it!
