Sixteen Surprises

Being Celebrated

In our family we do birthdays big. I think everyone should be celebrated at least once a year. A day when everything is about you. When people notice the contributions you make. A day to be pampered and have all of your favorite things.

When it came time for our oldest to turn 16, I started asking early when he wanted to do for his 16th birthday. He told me, his mother, that he thought he would probably just go out to dinner with some friends. When I explained to him that idea didn't really work for me, we sort of walked away - and an idea was born.

​Surprises all day long.

Surprise Party

With the help of some of his friends, we planned a parking lot party.

Signatures

I designed a shirt for him and had his friends sign it.

Wheels

We got him an old 1984 Dodge Ram Truck. It's so old it has a tape deck!

He was genuinely pleased.

Little Treats

We got him a few of his favorite things - just little things hidden around.

Button

He said one of his favorite things about the day was wearing his birthday button around all day.

Locker Decorations

One of his dear friends help me by decorating his locker for us.

    Really, I never thought that I'd say, "... table for 6, please." going to dinner with my family. I had plans to be a professor and travel the world. I moved from Missouri to West Texas for graduate school and was just passing through, when I met a man that captivated my heart and held my hand.

    Both teachers at the time, we met before Spring Break, got engaged the day after school was out and got married over Thanksgiving Break. And we shared our wedding cake top with the Labor and Delivery nurses in the hospitial when our oldest child was born. Our courtship was quick and it was exciting. And I don't think that we'd trade any of it for what we thought it might be.

    This magical adventure is more amazing than anything that I had planned.
