Fred collaborated with our good friend Michelle part planner Extraordinaire and threw me the Bestest Surprise Party Ever. The original plan was a to have the party in Michelle and Tyler's AMAZING back yard. The fact that is snowed that morning put a damper on it. The Thursday before the party when the forecast looked so gloomy they decided to find a indoor location. It is a good thing they did...it rained and hailed a significant amount... So the party was in the Lobby of Oak Park Church.
The Party- Sumo Suits! How great is that? I had mentioned months ago that I thought a sumo party would be the greatest thing ever and they ran with it. It was AWESOME. So many of my close friends and family came out to enjoy it with us. And everybody was such good sports... I think almost everybody took a turn, minus pregnant folk and those with Small kids who were afraid of the wrestling. I think I myself wrestled like 6 times...defeating all except my Mama. She schooled me. So fun. There was a amazing spread of food. Some of the Guys even BBQ'd in the Hail. What great friends I have. Some people contributed food stuffs and some contributed money towards the party. Wow, I am loved! And I really really felt it that day.
The next day we went to Church and discovered that a bunch of people actually got hurt from the Sumo wrestling...Well some guys...They were brutal with each other. There was a cracked Sternum, a couple of ankle issues that seem to have heeled fast, a toenail that turned purple and a pretty good neck injury that resulted in multiple physio visits. Who knew sumo could be so dangerous. However the fun outweighed the injury and all said they would do it again.
