Bunky's 40th

My super sweet, funny, hot, amazing husband turned the BIG 40 this month! I wanted to do something meaningful for him, so for a whole month I had to be sneaky, getting together a book for him full of letters, notes, and pictures from various people in his life (family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, etc- some he has known most of his life). I set up an email account so he wouldn't come across anything in my regular email and for about a month before his actual birthday, received emails from people who were in on the fun. I also got a few mailed to my neighbor's house. Overall, there were 70 letters in his book.....some really long, some shorter, some funny, and some heartfelt and serious. It turned out to be a great combination of words to my husband who has had an impact on a lot of lives. I think he felt extremely loved and celebrated, which is just what I set out to do. He is truly one-of-a-kind, and I am honored and blessed that he is MINE! For what it's worth, I don't think he looks a day over 29 either! :)

We also had a wonderful steak grill-out with our community group and a few other dear friends that night. Here's to 40 more wonderful years and a continuing legacy that is well-respected! I love you Bunk!
