My Wife Sallie is Turning 50 on August 5 and Why I am not throwing a Surprise Party

My wife of almost 26 years (anniversary on August 16th) turns 50 on August 5th.  When Sallie turned 40 I planned a surprise birthday party for her.  Our new church had about 250-300 people coming after a couple of years and many of them made plans to attend Sallie's party.  Unfortunately for all of us Sallie got stuck at work with a dying patient and baby and never made it to her surprise party.  It was a terrible day for Sallie.  About 100 people enjoyed a party but without the guest of honor.  So, no more surprise parties.  


So this year we are planning a few days at the beach quietly with family.  No surprises.  If you know our family and especially Sallie and would like to send her a greeting you can email her at salliejohnsonrn@gmail.com.  Sallie has a Facebook page but does not interact a lot with it.  But feel free to post there too.  


For those of you who know her, Sallie is one INCREDIBLE woman.  She has a massive heart for God and deep love for people.  If you are her friend, you are one lucky person.
