The team, including Denise, spent the day at a seminar celebrating the "Power of Women." Everyone was energized and insired by the many dynamic speakers. Personal growth precedes practice growth, and everyone came back with even more commitment to grow.

Meanwhile, Dr. Joe and Debbi spent a frantic day behind the scenes preparing for Denise's surprise birthday party. Christian and Marie, who keep our office clean, spent the day helping to clean the house.

We all waited expectantly for Denise to come home. Cars were parked away from the house to avoid any evidence. The children were never even told until they came home that day.

Denise stepped through the front door to a loud chorus of "Surprise!" She certainly never saw this coming!

It was a terrific evening with teammates, family and friends, all celebrating a very special person.
