Our 14th Anniversary

Once upon a time a super neat guy named Chip decided to surprise his wife, Tracy, for their 14th wedding anniversary. He left her a note the morning of with very strict instructions. Part of the instructions included wearing a swimming suit which made Tracy very nervous, but she still followed the instructions. Chip took Tracy to a beautiful place called Lucky Peak where Chip told Tracy they would rent a boat and go out on the lake together - just the two of them. Tracy thought that would be fun. They pulled into the parking lot when all of a sudden....... two kidnappers jumped out of their truck, pointed blow-up M16 machine guns at the anniversary couple and ordered them into the truck immediately!


The crazy kidnappers tied Chip and Tracy's hands together, put a tiara on Tracy, a crown on Chip and ordered them to keep their mouths shut while in the truck!

Soon, they arrived to a wonderful spot at Lucky Peak where good friends awaited their arrival for the celebration of their anniversary! Complete with a big spread of delicious food and a barbecue, it was the perfect place to have a perfect evening!

Tracy's friend, Rachel, made a charming cake titled "Anniversary Beach." Sand, the ocean, snorkels, beach towels, sharks and umbrellas all added to this awesome cake that Tracy didn't want to cut!

When the boys announced they were going to go jump in the lake for a swim, Tracy right then and there decided she would be the picture taker and enjoy watching everyone else swim in the lake!

But silly Tracy should have known all of her friends wouldn't have that and they did a great job of talking Tracy into something she didn't want to do. But what a surprise - it might have been the most fun Tracy has ever had!! Laughing and talking with close friends while treading water in the middle of the lake, turned out to be a memory Tracy has locked in her head forever!


Chip was so proud of his super cool wife!



Chip had everyone's stomachs hurting with laughter with his impression of Shamoo...

surprise, surprise!


Tracy couldn't be more appreciative of her husband for putting together such a delightful evening! She is so grateful for wonderful friends who spent so much time and effort on her behalf. Tracy and Chip are still talking about that incredible evening, and I am quite sure they will be for a long, long time! The end.



the gals...



the guys...



Happy Anniversary Chip! Thank you for such a fun and fantastic night!
I couldn't have found a better friend and companion to share life with.



We've come a long way!
