Happy 36th to Jon!

As someone who has blogged every Monday through Friday for 5.5 years, a day's absence from normally scheduled blogging results in emails, phone calls, tweets, and facebook messages. You might have noticed I did not post on Friday. That is because Jon and I took the day off to spend time together to celebrate our birthdays.

We shopped, we ate at The Pit, and we saw a movie (in a theater! without paying a babysitter!) but mostly we just talked. It was much lower key than previous birthday trips to Europe and Hawaii. And it was very different than the first birthdays we celebrated together in 2000 where we stayed out until 2AM doing shots. Yes, on a work night. Yes, including tequila and ouzo.

Our way of celebrating may have changed over the last 11 years but our birthdays are that much sweeter with two extra people in our family to celebrate with:



Happy 36th birthday to my best friend.
