Husband hit the big three-oh a few days ago. I wanted to make his 30th birthday special and when I saw
this idea on Pinterest about a daughter filling 60 envelopes with memories from family and friends for her father's 60th birthday, I knew I had struck gold. I made a Facebook group, sent out emails, and basically nagged people to send me their memories. Thankfully, Husband's family and friends came through (despite my multiple "friendly" reminders!) and I was able to fill 30 envelopes with memories and birthday wishes. It was hard keeping this a secret, and at one point I thought Husband was on to me: I can't remember what we were talking about, but one night he made some comment about collecting memories for my birthday. Pretty sure my heart stopped for a second or two as my brain screamed "He knows! He knows!" Turns out, it was just some random comment because Husband had NO IDEA what I was doing. Whew!
All 30 envelopes, bundled and ready for reading
He sure was surprised
No knives here; I thought a letter opener was a better idea
Reading all those letters took awhile
There was a lot of laughter as he read through the memories
I love this picture!

Michelle, this is a great idea. I'm disappointed that Bryan just had his 30th. Maybe I'll request letters, and request just half a letter from someone for his 30.5th birthday.
