Surprise! Mike is 30!

I invited Josh Wyss from Phoenix, AZ and Tim Wiegand from Leo, IN to come help surprise Mike for his 30th birthday. These guys haven't spent an evening all together for years, so it was a definite surpise and great birthday present! We all had pizza together before the second surprsie of about 60 more people showing up for the evening.

After supper the rest of the birthday crowd showed up to help celebrate Mike's birthday. Mike had just been getting used to the idea that Josh and Tim were really in his house when everyone else started coming. He was quite shocked by it all!

Many from Lighthouse came to join the fun.


Potluck friends and family also came.



I had asked people to bring 30 of something to help Mike celeberate if they wanted. He ended up with 90 cans of Dr. Pepper, 120 oreos, 30 individual bags of chips, cheese curds, $6.00 in dimes, $30 to Dairy Queen (along with 30 DQ napkins), $30 to Farm and Fleet, a family picture frame, 30 "Ford" Matchbox cars, more candy, etc. . . People were quite creative - thanks everyone who helped make this such a success!




This is Mike walking into the house after work. As you can tell, he was TOTALLY surprised!
