The Big 40

My birthday fell on a Saturday and this is one of those that we tend to get caught up in a little bit.  In my case, the surprise came a few weeks ago with several friends and LeAnn in on a little surprise party that went great.  The biggest surprise to all is that is was a secret to me up to the very end.  The best part of the night was the Bud stories were kept to a minimum and the fellowship was fantastic.

So that left yesterday.  What's a guy to do on his 40th if there's no big party?  We ended up driving up to my hometown (about an hour north).  Nice for nostalgia.  Last night was a special night for just for family.  I had LeAnn, the kids, my parents, and my grandparents.  We grilled out and told stories and showed the dvd of Bud's life that LeAnn had put together for the other party.

Anti-climatic?  Not at all.  Quite special if you ask me.  I got to hang out with those closest to me without a lot of hoopla.  Happy B-day to me.
