Chad's birthday was last week. After a lot of thought, I decided to surprise him with a visit from his lifelong friend Jeff. Our creative and convincing neighbor
Mike Moutoux (pictured above) came up with a great story to get Chad to the airport, dressed up in a tie, on Friday! Only Mike could have come up with a story to pull that one off. Here are Mike and Chad waiting for the plane to arrive. Chad had no idea Jeff would be on the plane.

You should have seen Chad's shocked expression when Jeff walked in. It was priceless. We had a fun weekend showing Jeff around the area. I think it is really special that Jeff and Chad have stayed in touch throughout their lives, though they have not lived near each other for several years. Thanks again to Mike for helping me pull of this birthday surprise, and to Jeff, for a great visit.
