This guy turned 30... about 3 weeks ago (So I get behind on blogging sometimes.) I threw a surprise party for him, which apparently wasn't much of a surprise after all. He had some hints along the way. Anyhoo, we had a lot of fun with it. I asked everyone to bring an inexpensive, or even free gift of something that reminded them of Matt. He's such a funny, quirky guy, some pretty great ideas came out of it. Among them were: a bidet, a dented toy car (A story from high school), plastic money, an afro wig, a home perm kit (yes, he once permed his hair), a weird plastic skull head with hair (story from high school involving a locker war). We laughed at the stories everyone had to share about Matt and also enjoyed a little cake.
I also put together a memory book as a gift for Matt. I asked several friends and family members to contribute pictures and stories to make this a really special gift. I spent countless hours on the computer putting it all together, and it finally arrived in the mail on Saturday. I was so excited to show Matt, and this is what it looked like:
The cover--looks pretty good (even though my picture of it isn't so great) But once we opened the book up, this is what we saw: pictures of some guy HUNTING and drinking beer. I was mad at first about the mix-up, but then we got a pretty good laugh about it!
I'm not a fan of hunting, so these pictures of gutting a dear completely gross me out.
Yeah, that's right, drinking from a beer bong.
Hopefully the REAL book will arrive in the mail soon!

That is hilarious and sad! I wanted to do one of those books but if they are that unorganized, I might rethink that idea. I would have been so mad that I would have to call and yell at someone for my own relief! Let me know what your think of the book when you get the right one! Hope you guys are doing well. Sophie is getting so big and of course she is beautiful!
Happy Birthday Matt! Hey just came across your blog again. We're adding you to our blog list. Maybe we will see you when Scott pulls into town again.

This is hilarious. It got Dave laughing pretty hard. Sorry that happened after all your hard work Lisa.
Happy Birthday Matt!
Lisa, I'm so sad we missed the party. I guess jeff called you, I think we were out of town. Sounds like it was great.
Ha! I am laughing so hard right now! That is the funniest thing ever! It's mostly funny that some guy made a book about himself gutting deers and drinking from a bong! I guess those are the memories he'll cherish! Too funny!
Happy Birthday to Matt!
