Happy Brithday Brandon!

Back in summer 2004 Brandon and I had a conversation that has stuck in my mind for these past five years.He said "Do you realize that in 5 years I'll be 29?" It really didn't seem that big to be at the time that was 10 years away for me then... Until he mentioned that when he was 29 that mean that Id be turning 25! That hit the 19 year old me!

Well here we are. It is that five years later that Brandon has been dreading so. He hit it. 29! I'm not so sure what it is about '29' that he is so adverse to but all signs are pointing to what he will turn in exactly 1 more year. 30! If you ask him he is trying to make it so that May 20Th is left off all your calenders next year so that he cant turn 3-0. Keep Dreaming Baby!

I did write in his Birthday card though that 29 is not the end. It shows that there is still one good year left in the 20s.

So what are we doing to celebrate this fun day in his life? Not to much sadly. He is determined not to do to much celebrating so its being kept fairly light. We had a party at lunch today here in the CPS office which all the office staff and Brandon's Father and sister. We just had subs, cake and and ice cream explosion. We don't have any big plans for the rest of the day. Tomorrow night however we will go to Brandon's New Favorite place to eat http://www.thecountyseat.com/ Its a great Family restaurant right in the middle of 'Old Town" Powhatan. It really gives you that small town feeling and the meatloaf is pretty great. So we have that to look forward to.


All and all I doubt that 29 will be a bad thing for Brandon.... I however will have to cross that 25 bridge when I get to it in September.
