Happy 50th, Rhonda



Happy Birthday to the love of my life, Rhonda. This last Friday night, family and friends gathered at El Mejicano Restaurant to celebrate my beautiful wife's birthday. She looked awesome and was surprised indeed with all the hoopla I had planned for her 50th! I know you're not supposed to ask a lady her age; however, I don't think she'll mind me posting this milestone on the world wide web. LOL I think I had more fun planning the party and just knowing how excited she would be when it finally happened. From the limo ride to the party and seeing her excited face when we walked in the party room to all of our guests that had arrived for her big day! And a big day it was.

The last week of planning this party was pretty crazy trying to find everything that I needed. My niece Cheryl came to my rescue with lettering for Rhonda's picture board. I couldn't have done it without her. And trying to keep everything a secret from my wife was not easy at all. She knew I was up to something; however, she didn't know exactly what was going on. Friday, I was running ragged all day long, planning this and that, picking up flowers, balloons and various other items for the party. My sister Cora, along with my niece Dana met me at the restaurant and provided all of the expertise on the decorating. I told them what I wanted and voila! Looked really pretty! From the Mexican buffet to the magic show by Steve Mills, blowing out the candles to unwrapping the gifts; everything went just perfect. I think everyone enjoyed the night and had a great time of love, laughter and surprise. Rhonda was so excited to see our longtime friends and family from around the state, along with all of our local friends and family.

Everyone enjoyed the magic show and Steve was fantastic. He is a professional and touched our heartstrings with his last trick talking about Rhonda and my dream. Wow! It was phenomenal. Steve is a good friend of mine and an excellent magician to say the least. Thank you so much Steve for making Rhonda's night such a night to remember.
