Birthday Boy


HE'S 30!!!!!!! Yesterday was the big day! Al is no longer twenty-something.

Since the big day fell on a Tuesday, Alex really didn't have much chance to sleep in...not that he didn't try. He is usually out of bed by 4:00, but managed to hit that snooze button until 5:15. When he finally did join the land of the living (not that there are many to join at that hour) he was greeted by fresh coffee and cinnamon rolls. That's right folks, I woke up and made breakfast (I can mange once every 30 years!!).

Knowing full well that Al was wanting to keep his birthday "on the down-low", Micaiah and I decided to drop in on him just before lunch. Thanks to a few well placed guys in the team room, we were able to thoroughly embarrass the man. There's nothing like opening your office door to find a miniature grim reaper delivering balloons and inviting you out to soba.

After work Al was greeted at home by cards, gifts, and lasagna (his favorite). And for dessert a strawberry cheesecake topped with an emergency candle (I'm not sure we could've fit 30 candles on there).

I think it was a good birthday. I HOPE it was a good birthday. Of course, there is still the weekend.

And for those of you curious...yes, I bought a new digital camera. I couldn't very well capture this milestone on a camera phone could I?

I can tell by the picture just how much he enjoyed his big 30. Happy day old man.

Tell Alex welcome to the 30's. We still have fun here.
