A Happy 40th Birthday

Turning 40 is a milestone.  I had a great celebration spanning 3 parties. 



Turning 40 isn't so bad

First up is on the 3rd at Sandi's parents.  Lois made a great dinner of chicken (a healthy Paula Dean recipe!) and baked potatoes.  So good.






Amber has a Santa on her bum!




Next up is the OctoberFest.  Unfortunately, we didn't photo-document well, but it was a hit.  Sandi made beer-cheese soup and pretzels with salad and a cheesecake. 


John, a friend of mine, knows how to use real (non-point-and-shoot) cameras.  Let's skip the basics and jump right into 'ghost photography.'

Weird

Let's cap it off with a Casino night up in Seattle.  I wish I had more to show (Julie not only hosted it but did a great job blogging about it) but it was fun!  It was great to catch up with old friends and make new ones.  At one point, I wandered over to the blackjack table to see a) how Sandi was doing and b) watch Nathan ask for a hit.  Oh, I laughed.




All good blogs should end with a picture of Amber (this one is on my desk at work)

I have much to be thankful for:
my beautiful and amazing wife, Sandi
Amber, who melts my heart
I have a great job doing what I want to do
We live in a comfortable peaceful home
in a great city

The 30s were great, I think the 40s will be even better.
