The gathering of ages

Yesterday was my Dads birthday. He turned the ripe young age of 50 years. It was a wonderful dinner and party. My Mom really out did herself with the Lamb roast and turkey. They were delicious! Oh and the potato's were cooked just right! I only wish I hadn't fulfilled my taco craving only a half hour before going over.
Manda made the most wonderful crazy cake! The frosting had melted on her way over from Eagle Mountain, but I think that is what made it taste better. You had that frosty sweet flavor all through out the cake and not just on top. It was very pleasant.

Dad got a fairly nice haul. He got both the Mummy DVDs, Bravehart on DVD and some nice new shirts, a lounge chair and much much more. We had a lot of fun and laughs.

After we were done with presents and cake, we all just sat around and talked. It was really relaxing. I was really glad to see everyone. I kinda miss not seeing everyone all the time. I guess I also really like birthdays. I also really like having my camera with me. I took about 40 pictures give or take a few. It was super fun.
In all it was a very good day. Not much happened at work during my grave yard shift. It stunk that I only got an hour and half of sleep. But I made it to my sign aide job just in time. The kids I work with both had very good days. I only had to give one time out, and threaten to take away points. It was a very productive work day. Until I got back to Orem and found that I didn't have my apartment keys and that the four roles of film that I had thought belonged to Liz's Sealing pictures were in fact not. One was from that day, however the other three ranged from about a year ago to two or three years ago. So, now I have to go and find those other two rolls of film and get them developed, and I had to go all the way back to American Fork and try to find my keys. Luckily I found them. So all is well.

As for my last post. I am doing just fine. All that post really was, well, a venting. Thats all. I feel just fine. I just have to have a little more faith in myself. I am good at what I do. I just hit some bumps and get a little annoyed at myself when really I haven't done anything wrong at all. So, no worries. All is well.
My boss for alpine thinks I am the cats meow and loves the work I have done with the kids I am assigned to. I am getting a raise at Bel Aire very soon. And I got a lot more than I thought my car would be worth. Now enabling me to put a very nice down payment on a newer car. So, again, no worries. But thank you for all your concern.
Have a lovely day. I know I will. Fall is in the air!
