A Great Way to Turn 40!


Start with a trip to Mexico and end with a surprise birthday party with family and friends.   Throw in the ultimate treasure hunt (which included a pellet gun, water balloons, metal detector, sling shot and a search for a troll under a bridge – all leading to the most awesome nunchucks ever) and you have the makings of a great way to turn 40!

Saturday was the big 40 for me and I can honestly say, it’s just a number.  I’m happy with who and where I am in my life.  I have been abundantly blessed with family and friends who mean more to me than I could ever say.  At this point in my life, I have found myself on a path that is surprising me with opportunities every day.  Life is good!

As I looked around at the faces who shared Saturday with me, I realized that many were people I originally met at Silent River.  They were fellow students who I have sweated, laughed and cried with.  They were fellow students who have become great friends and an important part of my life. We shouldn’t underestimate the potential of the relationships we are making when we come together working as a team.  The people we surround ourselves with will have a bigger impact in our lives than we may think.  Thanks to everyone who helped make Saturday so special.
