my birthday

kerry woke me up early last thursday morning to celebrate my completion of 23 years of life!  i stumbled into the living room to find birthday streamers and balloons scattered around, with kerry waiting in the middle of it all, eager to present me with a gift!  am i lucky or what?  there is no greater joy that i've found than to wake up, roll over, and see her beautiful face watching me.  anyway, she  got me some new tennis balls since the weather is finally feeling like summer, as well as a brand new outdoor basketball!  we have a great little community court here that i can use now without having to borrow blake's ball!  finally, she also got me this wicked sweet water bottle (camelbak) that is bpa free.   the one in the picture is red like kerry's, but mine is dark green.  the blue cap on the bottle is actually where you suck the water through.  my co-worker called it a "man-nipple" though i don't think i'd go that far.  kerry and i had a nice dinner together that night, and a relaxing evening at home.  it was a great birthday.

the following evening i was expecting to have blake and sarah over for dinner.  we were going to have a huge mexican spread, and i was indeed looking forward to the tacos, guacamole, etc.  about 5:30, there's a knock on the door and kerry asks me to answer it.  to my surprise greg and sara fleehart had made the trek down from seattle and were at the door with blake and sarah!  it was quite a surprise!  for about 20 minutes we enjoyed the presence of our company, showing greg and sara around our new place and shared a few drinks.  then, another knock.  this time, nathan was at the door, and it was then i realized i truly have the greatest wife in the world.  she got all of our closest friends from the area (sans eileen who was in los angeles) to come and celebrate with us!  it was a fantastic evening with friends who we are quickly considering family.  i couldn't have asked for more on my birthday.  isn't kerry wonderful?

as a side note, greg and sara brought a few little gifts for me in this gift bag:






the bag is actually a hologram that changes between hannah montana and miley cyrus. amazing!

We thought long and hard about either the Hannah Montana bag or the "It's a Girl" bag. The hologram sold us. Also you didn't mention the sippy cups that we got you.
