Feelin' The Love

Well, it's safe to say that today I felt loved.  You see, today is my birthday.  I've gotten phone calls, text messages, emails, Facebook posts, and even a small gift from my clients who I met with today. 

Was today a completely relaxing day?  Certainly not.  I did mention I met with my clients right?  Technically I met them twice today.  But that's ok, because for my birthday I also got a deal that looks like it will close in 2 months.

Being busy on my birthday also puts the day into perspective for me.  On my birthday, 29 years ago (give or take a few) I just showed up.  My mom was the one who did all the work, so today I was the one working.

Where Has the Time Gone?

8 years ago today, I got the most important job a person can get... that of a parent.  Part of me feels like he should still be this not-so small bundle of baby.

Then my son surprises me by making something like these with little to no help from anyone.

and I wonder how he could possibly be only 8.

All I know is that I'm going to do my best to enjoy whatever time I have with my little man.

Happy birthday, son!  I love you.
