Dad's an Old Man and Other Things


Yesterday was Dad's birthday. He is now a 40 year-old geezer. It all started with a Zone bar, diet Coke and a gym. Afterwards, our family went to iHop and got a very big meal. Trust me, don't let a pancake or crepe fool you there. Then our family went to get cake, turns out the other bakeries were closed so our family chose to go to Sam's Club. Dad got a chocolate cake and Mia got a Hello Kitty cake for her soon-to-be birthday. To her dismay, Mia was not allowed to hold the cake in the car. When everyone got home we got Dad's cake ready and put candles on it. Quinn got really mad about this because she thinks the candles were hers. It took a little talking to get her to give us the candles.
A couple hours later, we had a gourmet meal of Chinese take-out courtesy of Rice King. The dinner was amazing and I think everyone was satisfied.
Today was an interesting day, for the most part everyone was either packing or watching t.v. I think the most watched show was Phineas and Ferb. Mom says it was more annoying than Dora which I am surprised to hear.
The last young women meeting was today. I really enjoyed it and hope that everyone liked it as much as I did. I am going to miss everyone and in honor of it, I wrote this:
"Young Womens has been amazing. I have many fond memories from it. I remember girls camp and getting rained on constantly. I remember the service projects, but most of all I remember the kindness all the young women and leaders have shown me. Personally speaking, it's not where you go or what you do that makes things special, it's the people you are with. This is the true thing that made young womens special for me!"
