Happy #40, Charles!

My only brother, Charles, celebrated his 40th birthday with a surprise party at Courtland Park in Reidsville. Wendy did an excellent job of planning and keeping secrets! He was very surprised! It's hard to believe that my big brother is 40! Wow.....that can only mean one thing......since he's 5 years older than me, I only have 5 more to go!!!

I hope he doesn't mind me telling this, but he started getting into trouble when he was about 13 years old. He started hanging around the wrong crowd and continued to make bad decisions for the next 20 years. One day, he decided to completely turn his life around. He became a dedicated Christian, started his own very successful painting business, bought a house right beside of my dad (which made Daddy very happy), married Wendy (along with Chase & Jamie), had his precious daughter Macy, and hasn't looked back since! This was one of God's true miracles that I have witnessed in my lifetime!

Happy birthday, Charles! I'm so proud of you and I love you so very much!
