Birthday Reflections

Another week is halfway over: lunchtime on Wednesday has arrived! Just 2.5 more days and the weekend will be here.

The birthday was a blast. We saw "The Music Man" at La Comedia. The play was a pretty good version of the movie that came out decades ago. Strong performances.

Went out with a bunch of friends and family on friday night to my absolutely favorite place to get a cheeseburger: Red Robin! Got my top choice: the bleu ribbon burger. Thanks to Sonia for putting together some nice suprises for me!

Gift of choice: the black Columbia sweatshirt from the Alexanders is definitely something I'll be wearing a lot. :-)

Above all, praise God for bringing me through another year. He has abundantly blessed me with an awesome wife, a wonderful family, great friends, and a loving church home. I certainly don't deserve ANY of this, and I am humbled at His great kindness and mercy toward me.
