Getting Older

Today is my birthday and at 39 it is time to reflect...what in the world have I accomplished...in a few words I am most proud of my family. My beautiful wife Serena is the best woman a man could hope for. MaCall and Eloise are the most wonderful, beautiful and brilliant daughters ever. At 39 I fundamentally think I am content and thankful for all that I have. I am grateful for all their support and love. Their belief in the Gothic is truly astonishing and what is more amazing is their efforts to actually act like they enjoy those wonderful tales...I appreciate that.

Here is to the most wonderful three women in my life!

Oh, those are good accomplishments, but I might also point out the travel, PhD, published thesis, publishing business, good job, cottage of his dreams, excellent father and husband, a deacons advisor whom they all love and tell their secrets to, and a garden that is looking oh so good! Just to mention a few. I love you!

Happy birthday! And I think that you can add to you list the fact that I bag about you to my teachers.

Thirty nine, huh? That's almost forty...:D
(I say this with love.)

Happy Birthday, Franz! I think that the accomplishment of being satisfied, content, and happy with yourself and your life is one that not many people achieve. Congratulations.

Happy Birthday Franz!I can't believe you're 39. I remember when you visited when I was a kid and you seemed SO much older than me. And now the age difference isn't really all that significant.
