Birthday Celebrations

Happy Birthday Josh!!!

To celebrate 35 years of life we started the occasion by going out to eat at his favorite Mexican restaurant, Taqueria Jalisco. It is the most authentic we have found here and it reminds him of his mission. We partied with great friends and great eats!

So you may be asking yourself why is he blowing candles out that are in an ice cream carton. Well Josh dislikes cake and would much rather have ice cream or pumpkin pie.

 Gifts, gifts glorious gifts, this year he received two expansions to one of our favorite games, Dominion. If you have never heard of it or played it I highly recommend it. The kids and I got him the Seaside expansion and Robinsons gave him the Guilds expansion.

Anyone who knows Josh knows him to be and avid reader and the Dowers gave him a book to not only enjoy but devour with some heavy thinking and learning.  The book is Theory and History, a treatise on general economic theory and approach to historical study by the founder of the Austrian School of economic thought, Ludwig von Mises.

Last but not least Josh and Meagan went on a daddy-daughter date to go see a movie Josh has been waiting for Hollywood to adapt for the silver screen, Ender's Game, based on the Orson Scott Card novel! The movie has been in the process of being made since shortly after we got married.  They both came home with smiles and had a pretty good time (even if it wasn't exactly like the book, but they never are, are they?) All in all I think he had a pretty good birthday.
