Who today, March 15th, is celebrating this milestone birthday.
For the past year I have been dreaming about throwing him a kick-a** party, sending him on a all-guys vacation, surrounding him with lavish gifts. But ... being 8000 miles away makes it quite difficult.
So I started brainstorming. Thinking of a way to commemorate this very special day despite not being together. And I realized there was one thing I could do.
Bring the party to him.
So, without further ado ...
Turn up your speakers. Put on your party hats. And enjoy this amazingly orchestrated 40th birthday tribute from ALL around the world. To a man, who like a fine wine, only gets better with age.
Happy 40th birthday Matthew. I love you ...

You are seriously the coolest wife!! What a tribute. I was tearing up by the end. I hope your hubs has an amazing 40th year!
Oh my god Jill I'm in tears, serious tears here. Oh that just made me so happy for you guys and so sad for your separation at the same time. I hope he just loves viewing this over and over...Happy Birthday to your Matt! My Matt turns 40 later this year too! Big hugs. xo
Brilliant! You win super wife awards for this. And for the record, I am really hoping 40 is the new 30. Enjoy the next decade, Matt!

What a great idea. Happy birthday to Matt! Can't wait to get to know him when we're all in NoVa!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MATT!!!! Hope it's truly wonderful, though I'm sorry you're in Iraq and not with your gorgeous wife and beautiful children.
Jill, that is an AMAZING video. I can't even fathom how much time it took to put that together! And to everyone who sent pictures for the video - you guys are all AWESOME!
What a wonderful, wonderful idea! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MATT! Thank you for being such a great guy! Thank you for your sacrifice - of not just being in Iraq, but being in Iraq and missing special days with your family like this one, in order to do an important job and do it well!
HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY BRO!!!
LOVE,
ADAM
The most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
Happy Birthday, Matt!
What a good wife. Happy Birthday to your hubby - hope to meet him someday! (and the fact that he's ONLY 40 I choose to ignore....)
That was pretty much kick ass!
Happy Birthday Matt!
What a lovely gift idea! Happy Birthday, Matt!
Fantastic! He's a lucky man. Happy birthday!
Jill, this is probably better than the 40th I threw for my husband. No in-laws or hangovers. He is a very lucky man. Happy Birthday to him!
you are just the sweetest Jill. I'm sure he loved every picture ~ especially the last 2!
Awesome job Jill!!!!! Happy Birthday, Matt : ) I have watched this several times over and I get misty eyes. I hope Matt loved all your work, Jill ; )
Jill- That was so awesome! I'm sure he loved it. Glad you were able to have all your friends help out with the pictures!
Just beautiful!
