Adam turns 18

Forgive the large type, I'm unable to change it.

So my son Adam turns 18 this Wed., 2/25. I wanted to do something special for his big milestone, so I contacted one of his best friends (grabbing cell phone numbers from his phone as he slept...very sneaky) and asked her to get 6 or 7 people together for a surprise pizza party at a neighborhood restaurant. Then I invited his dad, my brother and his family, and a few old friends I knew Adam would love to see.

Here I was so worried that nobody would show up...and in walked 20 of his friends! Forget 6 or 7, right?! The word was out and they were there! All very sweet and polite, although the restaurant was less than gracious about it. But it worked out so beautifully and Adam walked in with such a look of shock and happiness on his face, it was all worth it! His dad had bought a huge, beautiful cake that the waitress brought out all lit up and we all sang to Adam who was trying to hide his face but you could see the big smile. It was a good night. Happy Birthday, my Adam John. Where did all the years go? Here's to many, many more.
