Despite getting off to a rocky start (venue wasn’t open when it was supposed to and we were late getting set up), my birthday party turned out pretty well in the end. Several people attended and there was a good mix of people from various “worlds”. Some of my favorite people from the EMT class attended as did two people from work. And Michelle’s family was there as well. There were three or four others from work I would really have liked to attend, but they had previous commitments that required them to miss it.
Since this was my first birthday party, it had to be a “first birthday party”. Cake, decorations, etc.
A good time was had by all.

Pictures of you! Lots of them! You’re usually so camera shy. It’s great to see you looking happy and having a great time. I’m so glad you had a happy birthday!
Yeah, apparently, being camera-shy wasn’t an option according to she who wielded the camera (Michelle.) 🙂
Interestingly, there were four other males at this party (including the tiny one) and yet only two of them made it on film. Go figure.
