Happy Birthday, Thomas!!

So today is Thomas' birthday. He has turned the ripe old age of 25 and we are ecstatic because our car insurance has gone down quite a bit. Hooray!

We didn't really do anything special on his birthday because he had to work. Bleh. But he did get quite a few presents and a fancy birthday dinner the next day complete with Rib-eye steaks, fried zucchini, mac and cheese and a salad.


He received the aforementioned-in-another-blog Miami Dolphins jacket and a book on CD from me.
He got a couple ties from Aiden and Zelda.

He got a computer desk from my mom. (We needed a computer desk because the one we had was gigantic and my mom happened to be here and said she would buy that for Thomas' birthday.)

And from himself he bought a BUNCH of hunting stuff. He's wanted to start hunting for a while now, but since Aiden has been here, he's felt that he really needs to learn so he could teach Aiden how to hunt. So he bought himself a big fancy bow, a case to carry it in, some camoflage clothing, deer attractant something or another and a deer camera (you set it up on a tree, set some feed in front of it, and if anything comes by, it has a motion-sensor on it and it will take a picture of whatever is there. We have caught rats, squirrels, Thomas, his mom and a butterfly on the camera). He came home from work and pulls out the camo and says, "Wanna see how redneck I am now?" and then proceeds to try it on and kept going on and on about how he vowed to never buy this stuff, and how he coudn't tell me how many times he made fun of people wearing camo. My take on it? As long as he doesn't wear it to Wal-Mart, he's not a redneck. If he uses it to kill a deer or two a year, I am perfectly fine with it.

So here's to one year older and wiser, too: Happy Birthday, to you!
