Happy Birthday Nicole... The beauty about Nicole's birthday is I have never been able to remember if it is on the 24th or the 25th. It's always been close to Thanksgiving and sometimes even lands on Thanksgiving. Only Nicole knows the significance of today's scan. It makes me laugh even thinking about it. Nicole is a great person, she knows it... everyone knows it. I know she thinks that because I didn't blog on her actual birthday that I forgot... Actually, it's a combination of many things, but mostly laziness. Scanning has become a tiresome practice and in these lean times I really wanted to conserve energy. Of course I am kidding, I really was just lazy and needed the perfect scan for such a cool person and I finally found it. The question was whether or not to put it up on the 24th or 25th??? How bout I back date it to the 24th but just know I actually did it on the 27th and your birthday was really on the 25th.
Happy Birthday Nicole and don't eat too much corn on Thanksgiving!!

Happy Birthday Dad... I really wasn't going to do this because I have had about enough emotions for one week's time. However, My sister requested (sort of) and I can't refuse (and no, I didn't forget).
This will probably go down as one of the oddest Birthdays for my father that he isn't here for. The scan tonight is from my dad's favorite books... the scriptures. I have never met someone with such passion for learning as my dad has. I mean, I like to learn, but he likes to learn about things that really matter. Another great thing about my dad, is his unwavering faith and helpfulness. He'd do anything for anyone at anytime. He was very service oriented and fulfilled any assignment given to him to the fullest. But, as life seems to go, he isn't with us this Birthday... He isn't even here to tell us that he is actually one year older than he truly is, cuz that's what he does.

I thank you and I love you!

Here's to more birthdays Dad.

Happy Birthday Mom... Today is my Mom's Birthday. It is tradition in our family to post many a notes all around wishing a Happy Birthday. While celebrating with my family, I decided to steal a sign my sister had made... Good Job Sis (you remembered). My mom is a special person that has always taught me to love everyone regardless of where they come from or what their background is. As a result of this, She has also taught me to open my mouth and talk to everyone around me and share my thoughts and ideas with them. I feel I do that pretty well, but still not quite as well as she does. She deserves to have her day (especially for having to put up with me)... Happy Birthday Mom!

Marci... It's my oldest sister's birthday today. Happy Birthday Marci!! I am sure it's difficult being the oldest in any family. You typically have to experience everything first, you have to go through report cards, dating, real life, kids, and other various growing pains. Marci has done a very excellent job doing this... Good Job Marci!! My love of music stems from Marci.
She taught me (directly/indirectly) that it's ok to like whatever music you want to... and it's even ok to like music that crosses multiple genres... in fact, it's even better that way!!
Last night, Marci informed me of some sad news, She told me that she drinks Pepsi... I was sad. However, just like her philosophy in music, I need to use that same philosophy when it comes to carbonated beverages... So, Marci, it's ok if you like Pepsi... I still like you (and Coke).

PS... I realize I have been gone from the blog world for awhile... More about that to come.

Happy Birthday Molly!... Today is Molly's birthday, and she let everyone know. Her desk was decorated at work and a coworker made homemade cupcakes (don't worry, she's "kind of a professional" at it). Above all else, She had to wear this crown all day long, by order of her mother. Molly is a cool person with great traits. She's funny. She's driven. She's passionate about her interests. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOLLY!

Amanda Bynes... I attended an odd Birthday party tonight. To be honest, I thought the idea was a little weird, but as most things go, it turned out to be fun. PLUS, I got told how cool I was (everyone did). Amanda Bynes is a pretty cool (from what I know) person. She makes awkward/weirdness look cool and lol hilarious. Beyond being told how cool I was, i got some NOWandLATERS. I haven't had those in a long time. I am looking forward to enjoying them through my day of work tomorrow (Thanks Linzi & Amy).

Cards...The birthday wishes keep pouring in. These two are probably some of the more important ones. They come from Brenton (top) and Kylee (bottom). Brenton told me it is a picture of me defeating him. He informed me that this was only able to happen because it was my birthday. I was very appreciative of his gesture. I guess the violent nature of the card is ok, because we are both smiling. Kylee is getting better and better at her penmanship and as long as you tell her the letters she will write it. She wished me a happy birthday. By the way that's me on the left and her on the right.

It's My Birthday... Because it is my birthday, I can break all the rules. These aren't scans and I am admitting it. But, it's my birthday. A co-worker bought me a breakfast buritto, because it's my birthday. They also took me to lunch.... I drank too much Coke.... got Winger's stomach... but, it's my birthday. They decorated my desk and got me some pie, because it's my birthday. I blew out all of my candles and tried to eat the frozen pie, because its my birthday. I went with my sister's to get a pedicure (it was my first and probably my last)..... because, it's my birthday. I got a toaster oven and domino's pizza.... because it's my birthday. I had a good day and enjoyed all of the birthday wishes.... Thanks!

Baby Pic... Tomorrow is my birthday. I found this baby pic that was taken in my first year of life. I was about 5 months old. It was taken in Oregon. I had no idea that I had been to Oregon. How odd it is to be that small and now be 6'6''.... What a difference a couple dozen birthday's make.

Linzi... Today is my oldest friend's birthday... by oldest I mean I have known her longer than any of my other friends. We were next door neighbors. I have known her since I was 3 and we have shared the month of March for our birthday's. Linzi is an awesome person. She is studying to be a teacher and I know she will be a great teacher, because she puts her heart into everything she does and her heart is always in the right place. She faces life with such class. I am lucky to know someone like Linzi and I am even luckier that she puts up with a friend like me. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINZI !!!
