Captions are under each picture.
Me discovering that I'd been had....
H & I self portrait.... from Friday night (the surprise party was Saturday afternoon).
Big hair #1....
More of the same w/ Jill & Coop. Jill left her big hair at home this weekend.
Coop & Uncle Batch w/ matching hair... The second photo is featured on the MSU website... you can see it and the caption here. Aunt Karen and Uncle Mike are visible just over Coop's shoulder.
Matt & Uncle Batch... the hair runs in the family.
Batch and Bubba (barely off to the side).... at this point the dogs were rallying back from a rather large deficit. If it weren't for some really questionable base-running we might have won the game.
Finally, First Row Russ, Babs, Liz, Pete.
Second Row Jill, Steve & Kevin.
H put a lot of effort into the weekend... it was really nice to be with friends and family to celebrate the birthday. Mike and Karen get the long distance award for traveling all the way from Hoffman Estates, IL (~750 miles).
More important than the celebration of my 30th birthday, this weekend also marked the 5th anniversary of my marriage to H. In honor of that she put together an anniversary booklet that highlighted different memories of our 5 married years (places we've lived, vacation destinations, other significant events, etc...).
In addition to ALL of this she also gave me this ESV Reformation Study Bible.

I haven't had as much time to look at it as I'd like, but so far it has more than lived up to the hype. I highly recommend it. If you're interested in one for yourself you can get one here.
All this to pass along what my friend Alan Carter reminded me of a few weeks ago. As we were catching up and sharing stories we of course came to the topic of our wives... after telling him what all H had been up to recently he commented on how capable H is and then, in a very matter of fact manner said,
"Son, you've punted beyond well beyond your coverage."Indeed I have Alan, indeed.

that there's a nice patch-a-grass. i used to sit out in the lounge and do english homework. yeah, that was nice. but not complete without a post-game visit to see sonny, who asked about "good 'ol batch" every time.
We saw sonny on Friday for lunch. Rib plate (hot) w/ fries, slaw, sweet tea and a side of mustard. My habit is to make a rib sammich of white bread, slaw, rib meat and mustard. Mighty, mighty fine. H gets a bbq plate mild, all fries.
Next time I'm there I'll try to take some pics.
