30 th birthday on Jan 19th

I turn 30 tomorrow...

-I have a wonderful wife
-I have an awesome crooked old house
-I got promoted yesterday
-I'm taking a university course again for the first time in years, chipping away at my degree

3-4 years ago, I honestly would not have expected to have any of the things on that list. I am a very, very lucky guy.

Happy Birthday!!
When I turned 30 I was getting divorced. Now, 8+ years later, I am amazed still at how far my life has progressed and improved. I am in a great marriage to my soulmate with a fantastic little boy and a daughter on the way. Yeah, life is good for me now. Oh yeah, there's a freakin' 911 sitting in the garage beneath me. WOOHOO!!!!!
Enjoy the day, Jake. (tha's my sons name, too)

We share the same birthday with Robert E. Lee and Joseph Stalin. Happy birthday to us in one hour. I'll be well over 50 , but less than 60.

Don't worry, it doesn't hurt as much as you probably think :-) I turned 30 this past July, and hardly noticed it. Then again, sometimes I still think I'm 18. (based on actions rather than looks, mind you...)

Happy birthday!

Chris

Thanks folks! I'm throwing myself a "surpirise" birthday party tomorrow.
I'm charging $5 admission, with proceeds going to Healing Hands for Haiti, and to a temporary shelter to women and children who are victims of abuse.

I've got about 60 people confirmed so far. Should be quite an event! I'm putting up a couple extra jack posts in the basement tonight, just in case

Les, I have people on their way from NS after work tomorrow. A drive could be arranged

Haiti-schmaity, put the cash towards your Porsche fund!

Just kidding, that's pretty admirable.

I stated very clearly on the invite that anyone who wanks about paying admission will be charged a $5 complaint surcharge.That money goes into the Porsche fund. Already got $10!
