Today we celebrated my birthday. I had a birthday party, and I had a lot of fun. A couple months ago I told Corie that this year I wanted a birthday party. In fact, I'm thinking that for the rest of my life on the decade years till 60 I'd like to have an actual birthday party. The rest of the years can just be a family observance. But it gives mile-markers in life to reflect, and I don't want to go through life alone. I want to be able to share a special day with those that mean the most to me.
Today was a special joy. AND I got presents. HA. I didn't really expect any originally. I just wanted to get together with my friends, but then people started asking and so I told Corie to say, "No gifts are expected, but if you'd like to give a Home Depot gift card that would be appreciated." I don't know. I got several of those, and a gift card to FIVE GUYS (I love that place). And a motorcycle from Germany, and a couple books off my wish list. It was fantastic. Thanks to everyone; not just for the gifts. Your presence was very special to me.
I hope in ten years more of you can make it. That would be fun to have an open invitation to blog readers. Then maybe I could meet people from Hurst, TX and Winter Park, FL. You all are an important part of my life as well.

Ben, We had every intention of being there and even told Cori we would be, but my wife and son are quite ill today! They are even our of commission for church in the morn. I was going to call you but it was hectic here today. Hope your b-day party was great! Stinks that I will need to wait 10 years to make it up to you. How about lunch real soon...ON ME!
Your Friend, Noah
I promise you won't have to wait ten years for me for a free lunch. I'm there!
I'm glad we could celebrate with you! Even if you do make up rules to win at Volleyball.
