Brian has never had a surprise birthday party before so Brandilyn and I decided that this would be the year to do just that. He has had a rough year (and consequently, so have we) so this would be the perfect opportunity to do something nice for him.
We contacted Lauren, Brian's girl, and asked for some help. She was more than happy to comply. She made some phone calls, we shopped for massive quantities of food (uh, yeah, hungry teenagers and such) and wah-la!! Instant making for a party.
When the big day arrived, Skip, Dave, Nick (Brandilyn and Dave's friends that joined us for the week were Nick and Brooke) and Brian went bowling for the afternoon (after we had all done family Christmas pictures). Brooke, Brandilyn and I went to work . . . and fast! Brooke decorated the coolest cake with "Ford" on it and we decorated the house. Massive quantities of friends arrived and Brian was more than surprised as he walked through the door. Kudos to Lauren for pulling that all off.
Brian and I got back on the road yesterday and headed back to Rexburg. We drove the 14 hours and were pretty wiped out when we arrived at his apartment. When we pulled up he (and I) was so surprised when all the roomies came running out to greet him. They all jumped in and helped us unload all of his things. It just warmed my heart that so many people care so much about my boy.
Brian is a pretty charismatic guy and I guess this just shows to go ya how much!
