After 3 weeks of preparation and stressing Nov
14th finally came. I decided to throw Brandon
a surprise birthday party for his 28th birthday.
I didn't realize how hard it would be. Keeping
everything under wraps and in the meantime
still going around like crazy trying to prepare.
Brandon started getting frustrated with me when
I kept telling him he couldn't do what he wanted
to on his birthday with no explanation. It was worth
it though. Everyone started arriving around 5 and I put
them all to work with doing the last minute things.
Then about 15 minutes before I was expecting
Brandon to arrive home I got a phone call from
him saying he had just gotten rear-ended
and our jeep - that we just bought - was totaled. So needless
to say I was really concerned what was going to happen.
But he was completely surprised, and the night was a blast.
Nearly 30 people came and showed their support for him.
He was so greatful and said it was one of the
best birthdays he has ever had.

His parents Tami and Mike, and his brother
Ryan, sis-in-law Holly and their kids Isaac and Ella stayed
the night with us. We were up till 1:00 in the morning
playing Wii it was a ton of fun. Thank you so much to everyone
who helped with getting the party ready, drove through the bad
weather to get here, and everyone who came
and supported Brandon in his birthday.
