For years, I have talked about how big of a party I was going to have if/when I passed my exams (architectural licensing). Tish took note of that and has been planning ever since. Once she found out that I passed, she really wanted to throw me one. Instead of a big blow out like I have always talked about, we decided to just invite our close friends Harlan and Rita, and mom(Tish's mother) due to cost, and the fact that I am just not into a big party anymore.
There is a Chinese saying, "you can do it big, or you can do it small.", meaning that money/extravagance don't always equate to perfection. With a small budget and short prep time, my dear wife did an awesome job to put together a wonderful celebration party.
She made homemade jambalaya (slaved over the kitchen stove for 2 hours), my favorite, blew up 20+ balloons with her prego lungs, ordered special imported beers, put little champion stickers on all the napkins and cups, and ordered a beautiful, creative cake tailored for me. See below:

Cool isn't it? Tish worked hard on getting the image to work correctly. And she did lots on research on recipes, bakery, and beer to make sure all turn out just right. Well it did just that. I was so impressed with EVERYTHING.
To top that, Tish wore this shirt that she had purchased for a long time, planning to wear it on my special day...
So sweet huh? Anyway, I had a great time. More than I could ever imagined.
