I LOVE surprise parties, so I was very excited to get to go to my Uncle Garry's (yes, it's Garry with two "R"s) 50th birthday party at Joe T Garcia's. YUM!! My Aunt Julie did an awesome job putting it all together, and he had no clue. There were at least 100 of his family, friends, and co-workers that all managed to keep things quiet for at least 3 weeks, so I was pretty impressed. A few of his friends took him skeet shooting for his birthday that afternoon to keep him from suspecting anything, so he was mad that he was still in his "shooting clothes" for the party. My cousin Rachel surprised him by coming home from college for the party, so that was cool. I love living close to my family. I never got to do stuff like this for the 4 years we spent on the East Coast. I know I've been in the metroplex for over 2 months now, but it never gets old! Here are some pics from the big event.
SURPRISE!!!

Love Joe T Garcias! MISS IT! And I hope to turn 50 one of these days but doesn't that seem far away! Still, life goes by SO fast!
Joe T's?! Man, that makes me miss Ft. Worth. It's nice to have a way to find out about your life these days. I love checking in on the blog. Is your husband still in the military? My husband was mobilized to Iraq last year. Everyone is supportive in that situation, but only other military spouses understand. It looks like things are going great for you.
Cheers!
