This is 40?

Chad's BIG 4-0 started out with a trip to the ER.  I told him it was his most expensive, yet poorest attended party ever!  His brother Ryan stopped by to check in on him, but this party was otherwise unattended!

(You have to laugh, right?!?)

No worries.  He is fine now.  A gallbladder attack kept him up all night.  An hour or two at the ER provided pain relief and reassurance that is did not need to be removed. . . immediately anyway!

The rest of the day was quiet.

We drove home.  (We had been out of town for a wedding.)

We had a small family dinner.

Brenna baked and decorated cupcakes.  Krissy brought pie.

Chad was fast asleep in the recliner by 9:00.

So far 40 is not looking too appealing!  I'm thinking that I  better enjoy these next 3 months of 30!

Not everything about turning 40 was bad, however.  He did buy himself the gift of a lifetime.  I'm quite sure he'd be happy to tell you all about it.
