Multi-day Birthdays

Birthday walk on the Hawthorne Bridge One tradition I’ve enjoyed since being married to Jennilyn is celebrating a birthday multiple days in a row. Our primary love language is quality time, so celebrating birthdays on multiple days allow us to dedicate one day for ourselves, one for friends, and one for family.

For my 32nd birthday, Jenni and I enjoyed a lovely walk in downtown Portland before heading out to dinner at Typhoon. The next day, we gathered with friends for dim sum and beat Super Mario Bros Wii in the afternoon. And tomorrow, we’ll see my folks for more dim sum. It’s been a great birthday!

Good Morning

I had a lot of fun taking a photo a week for 2010. I’ll be putting up a gallery of the images soon on the blog once I decide what is the best way to present all 52 photos.

As I thought about new year resolutions and considered if I should continue taking a photo a week, I was inspired by the last photo of the week of 2010. The new year gave me an opportunity to re-evaluate the most important things in my life and choose activities that support them.

I was reminded again that marriage is not easy and takes work to make it everything God intended. So Jenni and I decided that a focal point each week where we can visually capture something about our marriage will be fun and definitely help us with our anniversary slideshow 😉

So here’s our first for 2011: “Good morning.” I love that Jennilyn greets me in the morning with a sweet kiss.

Good morning!

I came home an evening a few days before Christmas to an unmarked box at my doorstep. As the kids were going upstairs to bed, my curiosity got the best of me and I opened the box to find my very own Google Chrome OS notebook! It was quite a surprise! Sure, I signed up for one, but I didn’t think I’d get selected.

Trying to make pancakes using brown rice flour, rice milk, and no eggs makes crispy outsides but it deceives you! The insides are squishy glue! it’s better to fill the house with smoke from the waffle iron as it blackens the batter and makes for a super crunchy wafer.
