Happy Birthday

For those of you who didn't know, Monday was my birthday. I'm an old man now at the age of 25. My loving wife had several surprises in store for me over the previous weekend. 

    Surprise #1: Classic case of showing up at your own house, and a lot of your friends jumping out from behind stuff, that I didn't even know people could hide behind yelling "SURPRISE!"

    Surprise #2: After being totally shocked, we all hopped in a couple of cars and headed down to our local laser tag arena. Once again I was very shocked, seeing as how I haven't played laser tag in about 15 years. Everyone was so nice to let me win in both rounds of laser tag, except my wife. She had to make sure I wasn't getting to big of a head. 

    Surprise #3: When I arrived back at my house from shooting everyone with lasers, there were even more of my friends hanging out and grilling up all kinds of foods. Its pretty cool to know that you have people out there that really care about you.

    Surprise #4: Finally, after digesting some delicious grilled food, and killing off some excellent cup cakes, I got to open up some presents. Normally this isn't a surprise, but what was a surprise is what I received from my wife. I opened up this tinny little box where I pull out a match box car that resembled an Indy car.  I was attached to it as a paper Indy car driver cutout. Instantly I thought," you have got to be kidding me." Not because I was disappointed, but because I was so excited. She had gotten me a gift certificate to drive a real life Indy car; a dream I've had since I was a little kid. Check out the school by clicking here.

   I just wanted to say a quick, "THANK YOU" to everyone who showed up to wish me a happy birthday, and a "sorry you couldn't make it," to all of those who couldn't come.
