Life at 50

This week has been really special. The outpouring of birthday wishes was overwhelming. Don and Janna put together a really nice surprise birthday party that was just right. About 50 friends and family showed up. I now have lots of wine to drink. Friends from as far away as Houston and Laredo showed up to help me celebrate. I was mostly thrilled to see my girls show up. They are both so big now and beautiful. They were the highlight of many conversations. I am so proud of both of them. Of course everyone always enjoys seeing Matt and Renee.

As I look forward to the 2nd half of my life, I think about being significant...doing things above and beyond the call of duty...I am ready to hand this construction company off to the new guys...the sooner the better...

I intend to spend a lot of time at the lakehouse this summer. I also look forward to our missionary trip in Mexico and then traveling to Cabo San Lucas with Mark to do some marling fishing. Life is Good!
