The Happiest Place on EARTH....

As we get ready to head to 

DISNEYLAND

for the week of FALL break,

and there claim is that it is the Happiest Place on Earth...

I realized that while that may be true,

that for me,

my Happiest Place on Earth,

is with my best friend and hubby

RON FLEWELLEN.

He really just makes me happy...and he is oh, so much fun to be around.

That is why for his 50th Birthday...

I wanted him to know just how special he was to me and those that are lucky enough to know him.

Pulling off a SURPRISE birthday party is not easy.

So I had to enlist the help of my kids, the Pittson's and the Letner's.

Rachel was my decorator and style consult...

she was also my eyes and ears.

I Love this picture of her...

watching for us to show up!

And then the BIG surprise..........

Ron thought we were going to a DATE night party at the Pittsons'.

We had to bring a "side" dish...which explains while we are both carrying food items when we walk in.

I am so happy to see that I've finally pulled this off...

and that he was super SURPRISED!

We were able to share a ten minute video in which we asked our friends and family to share why they love Ron.

Despite the initial tears and emotional expressions of love...

Ron was able to enjoy time with friends...

and family.

(Cameron and Chelsea...and Gary Wilkins)

Aunts and Uncles

Then it's CAKE time and my right hand girl...

my beautiful Rachie helped me every step of the way!

Such an amazing man...

a great husband, a great father, a great grandfather

and a GREAT man of God.

Happy 50th Birthday!
