30 and Counting...

The whole world changed yesterday.

I left my twenties….and entered my thirties!

Yes, yesterday was my birthday! 30 years old. Whoa.

Some said "you are now officially an adult"…what does that mean? Kinda weird since those same people told me the same thing when I turned 18..and 21. Not to mention the fact that I’ve been married for 11 years! Hmmmm… At any rate, I am ready to embrace the next decade of my life. Having learned how to do some things and how not do some things in my 20’s, I pray the next 10 years will be more exciting in an "adult" type of way…no more juvenile behavior!

As for the day itself, my wife planned and executed a wonderful day for me:

For starters, she had a card sitting at my bathroom sink first thing in the morning. The card was an old man about to blow out his birthday candles...wishing he wasn’t an old man…*poof* He turned into an old lady!! Very Funny! Accompanying the card was a 4GB mini SD card for my G1 phone.

Next she had a balloon bouquet delivered to my office at work.

Then we had an early evening photo shoot for Christmas photos in Oak Glen…I’ll post some pictures later.

Then to wrap things up she planned a dinner party with my Mom, Harry, John, Cam, Alyssa, Ella, Logan, Mary, Debbie (Alyssa’s mom) at Claim Jumper. Mom and Harry bought me a really nice white dress shirt…thanks! Chris gave me a second gift…a Magellan RoadMate! It’s cooler than I thought! And of course John bought our dinner as is his usual gift! I had the Porterhouse steak! Very good stuff!

Thank you to all that called or sent me a text/email wishing me a happy birthday! Thank you to the Centimark office choir that sang "Happy Birthday" to me and had a very yummy cake!

Thanks Christina for all you did for me! I love you!

Forty…here I come!
