Shawn and her best friend from Houston, Denise! Well, the big #40 birthday has come and gone for Shawn!! And she survived and I think even had a lot of fun on her 40th!!
It all started out with a couple of surprises (thank you God for letting us pull these off!) on her birthday on Wednesday, March 30th. One of her good friends, Teresa, was taking her out, "just the two of them" to celebrate her birthday. The real surprise was that there were about 6 or 7 other women at that restaurant waiting for them to arrive! One of the ladies, I am told, got the whole restaurant involved in signing Happy Birthday to Shawn! They ate Mexican food, talked, had some birthday cake and celebrated...but the surprises were not over yet!
Then they continued the celebration by walking across the road from the restaurant to Starbucks. That is where Shawn's best friend from Houston, Denise, was waiting (she had flown in secretly and Glen and his friend, Keith, had brought her to the Starbucks). She was hiding behind a newspaper when the ladies arrived but soon revealed herself! Shawn was overcome with emotion. Denise took a video - it is hilarious how Shawn is literally screaming with joy!!
The ladies spent some time there at Starbucks continuing to celebrate before the party was finally over. It was a great way to "Celebrate Shawn" - a great gift from God to all her know her and call her a friend!
