In the Fullness of time: David's 36th Birthday

Starfish

Once upon a time there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself to think of someone who danced to the day. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?" The young man paused, looked up and replied, "Throwing starfish into the ocean." "I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" "The sun is up and the tide is going out. And, if i don't throw them in they will die." "But, young man, don't you realize that there are miles of beach and starfish all along it? You can't possibly make a difference!" The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, "It made a difference for that one."

David had a fun birthday - fun for all of us... He started it out with a 5k run. You can check out that in the Dart Frog Dash post. Then we went out to breakfast as a family and with some great friends to IHOP. We enjoyed great conversation and even got to listen to the IHOP employees sing a birthday song to David followed by a pat on the head as if he was a toddler. That was priceless!
Is there anything funner than a game night with friends?

We LOVE game nights!!!

I hope when we move to Minot we can make some friends that enjoy getting together for game night. Anyway, we laughed ALL night. The game played is called "What is yours like?" Hilarious.... I highly recommend it. In the game you are suppose to describe something that is yours without giving away the answer to what is being talked about. One person has to guess what the "it" word is based on the answers of what each person's is like. Get it?
The best (and most risque) "what is yours like" answers that happened to go together coincidentally....

David's answer: "Mine is hairy."

Tera's answer: "Mine sometimes smells like tuna."

"Ours like to play together."

Can you guess what the answer is?

Our PETS!

You are so disgusting.
