It’s true. I have another birthday this week. I say another because it seems like they come much more frequently lately.

I realized tonight, as the kids and I shared a meal with the Coglianese family and the missionaries, that I’m twice as old as I was when I went on my mission. Very strange.

The way I figure, I’m about half-way there. And actually, it feels good. I’m okay with that.

I did something fun to celebrate my birthday week: I shaved my head. Eliana and Dominic helped me. It was a blast. Vickey missed the fun because she’s doing a Pampered Chef show tonight.

We had a little photo shoot so Ellie could document the memory. Here’s the new me, posing with Dominic . . .
