The Cat And The Bag

I can let the cat out of the bag now. For weeks. WEEKS. Many, many agonizing weeks I have been preparing a surprise party for my beloved. On Thursday, he turned 40. God, please let that insipid saying "Lordy, Lordy Look Who's Forty" leave my brain.
Pictures to follow. It's been the best party planning experience I've ever had. Basically I just turned everything over to a party planner. All I had to do was choose the venue (a lovely old colonial house out in Valrico), pick a color theme (teal and orange, duh!) and give her the guest list. 52 adults and 28 kids. Less than 20% declined the invite. To say this man is loved, respected, adored and admired is an understatement.
I'm so happy to have this chance to show him how much I personally love and adore him and for our friends and family to do the same.
