Sam's Birthday Happens Again!

Birthday parties used to be filled with elaborate planning and family and friends coming to a cool location like Chuck E Cheese, or McWane, or a Barons Baseball game, but now it is just planning a couple of hours at a Cracker Barrel with Sam on his way up to Cullman.   We found a good location in the middle for all of us in Pelham, and even had Davis come through on his way back from Tuscaloosa.   I think everyone had a good meal, and Sam liked all of his presents, which included a couple of Brandon Sanderson gifts I picked out, which is unusual...for me to pick out anything.   

The Bundt Cake dessert was amazing, but left me not feeling well for the remainder of this short get together.   I will share an embarrassing story that had me in the bathroom with a sick stomach, and looking over to see wheels rolling up and trying the stall door.   I then realized in my hurry to get to an immediate relief area, I grabbed the first one in, and the larger handicap one.   Oh No!   I quickly took care of the paperwork and came out of the stall to find no one waiting.  So I felt a bit of relief until I walked out the restroom door directly into the gentleman sitting and waiting for the restroom.   I quickly said "Man, that guy in there is a jerk, he is still in there" and walked past quickly.   

Oh well...what is this blog about again...Oh Yeah, Happy Birthday Sam!   I guess we could now go get us a CoBeer, but that might be frowned upon, and I have a feeling we would both be disappointed.   Your goodness and kindness is amazing to see as a Dad.   I know you will be an awesome husband, thankfully because your patience matches your momma better than mine.   I wish we had more time together, but I will always cherish the time we do have.   Thank you for always giving me the big hugs.
