The day of days

The year was 1985 and there were good things all around. Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd were traveling through time, Sean Astin and his friends were all known as The Goonies. Whoopi Goldberg was winning awards for actual good movies. We still had Magnum P.I. and the A-team keeping us safe, thank you Mr. T. The Kansas City Royals were baseball world champions and Pete Rose was still allowed to play baseball, and the 49ers beat the Dolphins in the super bowl. Yes it was a good time to be alive.

Yet there is another thing that is far more pressing that happened in 1985 that for me was quite important. It happened in October on the ninth to be precise, yet my memory is fading so I could not tell you the time. It was in a small hospital in the city of American Fork, Utah. A young mother gave birth to her second son. Me, that’s right me.

Yesterday was my 25th birthday and I was blessed enough to spend it in Ephraim, not the ideal place for ANYONE to spend their birthday. It was most definately the last place I thought I would be spending this birthday if you would have asked me a few years ago. But it happens and thanks to Lyric it was a great one. To start the day Lyric showed up with breakfast for me, doughnuts and a coke, and we just hung out and watched football for the morning, around 1:15 we headed over to the football game. A little after half time I got really tired so we came back to my apartment and took a nap for quite some time, I think we slept for about 2 hours it was nice. After that I cooked us dinner, steak baked potatoes spaghetti squash and rolls. It was a good one. Then we just hung out for a little bit then took off to the homecoming dance. We were there for a bit then it was getting late so I had to get Lyric home so she didn't die driving home through the canyons. That and I was getting way tired again. Needless to say.. it was a great birthday, so thank you very much Lyric.

I do wish I would have gotten two things that I am going to have to eventually buy for my self, those things would be .......
