Tim and I have met some wonderful people since living here in Northern Virginia, and especially through our church, Portico Arlington. Rich and Ashley are two of those people. They moved to this area last summer from Korea, because Rich is in the military. In September, they had a baby boy, Everett, who is super adorable... and has some incredible hair!
Rich will be deploying to the Middle East very soon, so we decided to throw him a surprise going-away/birthday party (his birthday was in mid-February) at one of his favorite restaurants,
Chadwick's. It was hard to keep a secret, but turned out to be quite a success...He was so surprised!
