Today is Jake’s birthday. His lady-love Kelly’s birthday is on Wednesday. We had a little party for them today at my parents house after church today. (Alli totally killed her sermon today, BTW. She’s a serious Rostrum Rockstar.)

Jake, in his infinite kindness, decided he wanted STEAK for his birthday. Having to look at these gorgeous steaks all day was not fun. Everything else was a lot of fun. We had a blast hanging out with the family all day, playing with the kids, playing Apples to Apples, overeating. All of it was a lot of fun.

Being with the family was fun. Watching Jake and Kelly be great parents was fun. Even the parts where the baby got scared of me and started bawling…those were even fun.

Happy birthday brother.
