We had a nice little dinner with KaLynne, Darin, Chad and the family one night, and then Sunday (Doug's Birthday) I planned a "Surprise Open House" that ended up not to be much of a surprise after all! First someone (you know who you are!) who wouldn't normally know when Doug's b-day is, asks him about it, and THEN, Mr.-I-don't-even-know-how-to-check-my-own-e-mail....opens one of MY e-mails! Doug was still surprised though, as he didn't know who or how many people or when exactly to expect it. Thanks to all of you that came! My favorite part of the evening would certainly have to be playing ping-pong! 
Doug, you are the most hard-working, witty, wonderful man I know. It's hard to find anyone more ethical, your friends know no one more loyal. You are impossible to "schmooze" and unimpressed by things not truly worth admiring. Among those whom don't know you, you are hard to get to know and frequently misjudged; you are unwavering, completely honest and straightforward. You are frustrated by petty details and bureaucratic practices. Your friends love you for life--as a trusted confidant, a playful game-starter, the funnest guy at the party (but only if you want to be there!), the best travel companion ever. You are hilarious--the funniest person I know. You are a challenger, a visionary, a conceptual thinker. You are an incredible problem-solver. You are my I-can't-pick-between-these-two-pictures tiebreaker, my sports statistic encyclopedia, my I-don't-trust-anyone-else babysitter, even though the house will be a disaster or they'll eat too much sugar :) You're a phone-talker, a my friend-harasser, budget-splurger, and we-can't-play-on-the-same-team gamer. You are my love. You are my life. You are inspired, and you inspire me. Happy Birthday Baby.

I agree with the friend harasser! : ) ha ha
I'm glad I'm not the only one being harassed! :) Does this mean Doug thinks I'm O.K.?
