We were so worried that Jen had figured things out, but I think she was genuinely confused when she walked into the Hopkin's house to have 60+ people shout "surprise!" at her. It was so touching when her out of town guests made their appearances. 
Jen's mom sent us some really fun photos from Jen's childhood that we displayed along with quotes from the blog. We all see lots of Jen in Will and Henry (whom I now think of as "Jenry").
There were tons of people and loads of good food. Jen was so busy all night, going from friend to friend gathering their good wishes and love like a bee going from flower to flower gathering necter. We had tributes to Jen from Sarah, Liz, Jen, Becca & Mike.
We also put together a really funny quiz. Here are three of the questions:
2. The Walkers frequently tried to mask undesirable family activities by calling them:
A. Gala
B. Safari
C. Walk-venture
D. Jubilee
The answer is D, as in "Guess what kids? We get to have a deer poop picking up jubilee today!"
11. Jen prefers her Diet Coke:
A. From the fountain without ice
B. With a shot of regular Coke
C. 3/4 ice
D. From the can
All her co-addicts shouted out "C!"
12. Which of the following does Jen NOT worry about?
A. Dying from falling down stairs
B. Bird flu
C. Leaving Owen unattended
D. Famine
E. None of the above.
F. All of the above.
And of course she worries about all of these. I secretly love Jen's fears as they are usually the best fodder for her hilarious stories. One woman's anxiety is another woman's guffaw.
Here is Mike, who has to be SO relieved that he can stop hiding this all from Jen, honoring his wonderful wife.
And this is Jen with the so so good cake that Mindy made her (I stole a piece for my breakfast tomorrow).
Jennifriend, I know it kind of killed you to be in the spotlight all night, but it was so fun to watch you bask in the love and admiration of your people. We adore you!!!!!!
