Betsy was throwing a 40th B Day party for Christine at Connie and Russ's house. It was a little early because of USC football. We arrived early to help with the setup. Her sister Denise came from North Carolina with her daughter Lauran. It was going to be quite a surprise if we could pull it off. Everything was going fine until it decided to rain and we had to move everything inside.
We had a great setup outside on the patio. We quickly moved everything inside. The guest started to arrive and we were anticipating the arrival of the guest of honor. I was upstairs looking out a window watching for them to pull up in the drive way.
I saw the car and quickly alerted all guest. Christine was so surprised when she opened the door. I was still upstairs so I personally didn't see her reaction to Denise and Lauran but the photos I saw was great. It was truely terrific surprise. The guest list included friends young and old.
There was one person at the party that truly deserves mention, Johnnie Colter. He came with Missy and he was an infectious person. He was so happy and was quite a personality. He talked to everyone there and made everyone feel like he was their friend, and it only got better after a little alcohol. Johnnie is the lead singer of Scifin, a LA rock band that plays some pretty good music. He also played basketball at Virginia Tech and is 6'9". He towered over everyone there.
"I love you man" became the mantra of the night. I love that and will not forget that.
Jen and Brian were there and please see their blog for pictures listed below.
