Last October Zach, my old roommate, and I decided that since he just turned 27 that he was now in his late 20′s. We came about this conclusion because to us 20-23 are your early 20′s, 24-26 are your mid 20′s, and 27-29 your late 20′s. Well, I’m now apart of the distinguished group of Late 20′s on this my 27th birthday.
My Dad got Katie and I tickets to a Stars game and I wanted to thank him again for that. Regardless if the Stars win or lose when I go to a game it’s always a great time. I got three birthday cards from Katie’s side of the family on Friday when I got home from work and immediately called them all to say thank you. I wanted to start off on the right foot and not give them the impression that their little Katie married a schlub although I’m sure plenty of you think she did!
Katie waited up ’til midnight with me so I could open my presents. She got me an Iron Gym and the book Boys Will Be Boys. I had been wanting that book for a while but hadn’t been able to find it. If you can see that picture of the book close enough and look at the hat that Troy Aikman is wearing in the celebratory Super Bowl shot then you will see one of my cherished pieces of clothing when I was a kid. I thought it was SO COOL to have a hat that my Cowboys wore after winning one of their three Super Bowls in the 90′s.
I’m looking forward to my birthday dinner and movie date with Katie later today and then a joint birthday family dinner for my mom and I later in the week. I also wanted to say thank you to every one else who sent cards and well wishes through Facebook, I really appreciate it.
