It was bound to happen sooner or later.

Lordy, lordy Kevin's fordy! And boy, was he surprised. Not that he turned forty this year, he knew that was happening, believe me, HE KNEW!

It was the gathering at the hockey rink after his game on Good Friday that surprised him. He was not expecting Murray and Cheryl, the boss and the boss's wife; his good friend Rick and his family, Fiona, Riley and Hayden; Katherine, Brian and Stellan, his sister and brother-in-law and nephew; Liz, his mother-in-law; Chris, well he was expecting Chris but not his wife Nancy; Krista, Kyle and Kylie, and Janelle, his nieces and nephews; Belinda and Jude, his good friends; and Jamie and Jewel from work. (If I've forgetten someone, I apologize.) There's photos from that night and I'll upload them as soon as I find them. Thanks to all who were able make it to surprise Kevin! He was thoroughly caught off guard and ecstatic everyone showed up.

But that's not it! In front of all those people, a slideshow was played displaying Kevin's best moments caught on film, of course, during the last 40 years. He really was the epitome of fashion, especially in the 80's! If I hadn't scanned and taken some of these photos myself I'd think "that can't be the same person" in each one. Take a look at the slideshow. I'm disappointed that I'm not able to add the music to the online slideshow. Just imagine "I want candy" from the Napolean Dynamite soundtrack playing in the background.

To continue with the short story made long by my rambling, that wasn't even the last of it. To top it all off I handed Kevin an envelope with a travel itinerary in it. He was also surprised with 2 weeks in St. Lucia with his lovely, beautiful and thoughtful wife, yours truly. We've just returned from said holiday and I can't wait to tell you all about it. Keep looking for the latest update. I promise the updates will be more frequent in the future.
