As many of you know, it was Andy's (and Pete's) 36th birthday on Sunday. I wanted to surprise him with a bbq party this year because I know each year he celebrates without Pete, he's a little sad. I told him Friday night about his party because there was no way that I was going to prepare for the bbq without his help but there was one other surprise that arrived at our door Saturday morning - one of his best buddies from home, Adam, and his girlfriend, Kristi!! They traveled all the way from Chicago to see Andy and our home in Germany before they started their trip out to Italy & Switzerland. They wanted to make it a complete surprise and they did! Andy was totally speechless when he answered the door that morning - you can see the shock on his face in the photos. After they settled in, we went for a walk up to Burg Nanstein, sent the boys off for a 3PM tee time at Woodlawn Golf Course on Ramstein Air Base to play a quick 9, and then I took Kristi to run some last minute errands around the base.
Sunday went smoothly and the party went well. The weather was perfect! It was really great seeing everyone, especially those we haven't seen for awhile. I know Andy really appreciated it. What a great way to start off the spring season!
Here are some photos from the weekend. Enjoy!
