Webster defines "Birthdaypalooza" as a "festive celebration of life, love, and the joy of families." It is a time of reflection upon the great blessing it is to be welcomed into a family who keeps you safe in hazardous circumstances which you cannot successfully navigate alone. Wikipedia says that the first Birthdaypalooza started several years ago when my parents met and decided they would try to make birthdays special occasions spanning multiple days. After all, the birth of a Child affects our lives far longer than the span of a single day--sometimes our lives are directly impacted even though we are separated by what seems to be an eternity.
For example, here's my sister.
She may just be a little baby right now, but she's already taught me a lot. She's taught about sharing, loving, protecting, and helping others. She's also taught me about being and having a friend. I don't know what I would do without her. Today she taught me about pushing her in a random swing (pictured above) which we found attached to a tree near an apartment complex we were scoping out for my Aunt.
After scoping the joint, we got to go to one of my favorite places, Brick Oven. Here's the footage if you don't believe me.
I ate a TON of Angel Hair pasta. I LOVE PASTA!
I love these guys too. Their my team. Win or lose, we're all in this together. Here's to living the rest of the life we have together to the fullest. YOLO!
