Happy Birthday!

Today is my wonderful, loving and dear husband's 40th birthday! I can hardly believe I'm married to a 40 year old!! LOL! :) Last night we had a surprise birthday dinner for him here at our house. His parents, my parents and his sister were all here when he got home from work and surprised him - it actually was a surprise!! I wanted to do something to mark this big event but my hubby is not a party person at all so I figured the family dinner would be what he'd most appreciate. One of his brothers even called during dinner to say happy birthday (he's a ship engineer and had just pulled into port so was able to call!).

I thought about making a black, "over-the-hill" type card but thought I'd save that for 50! :) I have these fabulous Basic Grey chipboard letters & numbers that I won in blog candy from Bethany Paull a while ago and have been saving them for something special - what's more special than this! I love how the card came out - simple yet special, just like my Jeff! :) Have a very Happy Birthday honey! We all love you very much!
