Last Saturday we threw a surprise party for my mother in law, Shannon aka Sha Sha. She is going to the Olympics as an Open Water Swim Coach. She's been a USA swim coach for awhile and was an alternate in the 1984 Olympics but this is her first time to go as a coach. We are all so proud of her and wanted to show her love and support by throwing this party.
She was really surprised! We pulled is off without anyone spilling the beans! She thought she was going out to eat dinner with her husband and meeting up with her parents but little did she know there was a banquet room at the Yucatan Beach Club filled with her closest family and friends ready to yell SURPRISE!
She walked in with a big smile on her face pointing to people saying "You, You!" Her son even surprised her by flying in from California.
Letters from Frank Labarba, Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Governor Rick Perry, her Principal at Marcus High School, acknowledging her accomplishment were sent to her and read once she came in.
This was another surprise for her that moved her to tears.
We even had shirts made just for the party! We had a lot of fun and wish her all the best in London. GO TEAM USA!
Wow Jamie - how cool is that! I had no idea she was a USA swim coach - Awesome!
