Earlier this week I wrote a little bit about my father in law. He passed away on Saturday night from stage 4 colon cancer. It was less than 3 weeks from when he was first diagnosed to when he passed.

Please say a prayer or a few this week especially for my husband and his family as we remember and celebrate the life of a great man.

I kept the party pretty simple so there wasn’t too much prep. I made the easiest party favors, mod-podged some pictures on the number 40, and ordered a cake with my a picture of my then 13 year old sister’s face on it. Once the margaritas started flowing I didn’t take too many pictures, but my sister…
