Older and Wiser

Thanks for the Birthday Wishes! My 26th year started on a good note thanks to great family, friends, food, beautiful weather, and a winning night at the casino! Seeing as I am a day ahead of America, it was the longest birthday I've ever celebrated ;)  Oh, shout out to Ryan D. who is joining me in the ranks of "more than a quarter of a century young" today–Happy Birthday!!!
