Thanks guys, it was a really great day.
Normal stuff during the day, a few presents (no SW, but that was just fine) and work, but then a little surprise from Kris.
Last night aound 6 my wife had arranged for a lot of friends to show up at our house. It wasn't the typical jump out and yell surprise kind of surprise party, instead more and more people kept coming through the door.
Since we moved to Utah 6 years ago Kris and I have often talked about how we know a lot of cool people who don't know one another, and how much fun it would be to have them all in the same place together. So, aside from last night being a fun surprise, it was also incredible to have a lot of our friends together. Some of them go way back, some of our friends who lived in Minnesota at the same time as us were there. We even discovered that one of them had gone to college with another friend who was there. It's a small world after all.
So, thanks for the birthday wishes, and thanks to Ryan for coming to the party (for a little while) even though you had a sick family at home. Ryan, you'll be interested to know that all of the kids played nicely with each other the entire night.
