Birthdays Rock


Saturday, Feb 10, 2007 from Nebraska City, Nebraska

It’s my birthday, and I’ll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, you would cry too if it happened to you. I have absolutely nothing to cry about though, maybe tears of joy and success if I got really sappy. But I always sing those lyrics on my birthday switching out the party and throwing in birthday, it’s a great classic oldies song.

February 10th is always a big day in the Sailor family. I still don’t believe that I’ve ever met anyone else whose sibling has the same birthday one year apart. My poor brother, I’m sorry Adam, I probably ruined your birthday forever. There you were about to turn one and your very first birthday present in life was a pesky little whiny brother. Good family planning mom and dad! It’s awesome to share a birthday with my brother and it was always special, my mom would always have to make two cakes that day, one for each of us. As a young kid the coolest thing was coming home from school and seeing the cake my mom made, it was the highlight of the day many times. She has made trains, ice rinks, hockey jerseys, even a miniature ski hill.

This is my first birthday spent outside of Michigan. Usually for my birthday I always want to go snowboarding or maybe play hockey. I love having my birthday in the winter in Michigan, especially in the Upper Peninsula. And I always felt very special to have my birthday on the same week as my favorite holiday, Valentine’s Day (so I’ll probably rant about that on the 14th). Also on my birthday I’m thinking about I want this and I want that. However, this year I haven’t spent a minute thinking about that leading up to today. The coolest part of this birthday is I’m living a dream, I’m doing exactly what I want to be doing. I managed to put a “job” together where I’m using my degrees and all of my hobbies. Birthdays rock! And I’ve only come across a couple on my trip so far.

Cheers! …with ice cream and cake (for breakfast!) to all the February 10th birthdays out there.

I almost made a cake in honor of both of your birthdays because I was feeling a bit melancholy not having you here to celebrate! We sure did have great cakes and parties and fun over the years, and now to believe that Adam is 25 and Bugsy 24....WOW....I don't feel that old to have kids that old! Carol T. told me to bake a cake anyway and we'll have a party without the birthday boys! I am happy you had some birthday cake, Bugsy...makes me fell better! Miss you both, escpecially today, and send lots of love.

Happy Birthday Bugsy, it is cold and snow in drifts out in the back yard and you can almost see the mail boxes up and down the street. Eat cake and ice cream all day long. Happy b-day to Adam. We are enjoying your trip, thanks for taking us along.
