Yesterday we celebrated JJ's 16th birthday. It was a full day of activities that actually started the prior day. I went to work early on Thursday so I could get out early and take him to his drivers test. He was really nervous about this. I talked with him on what he would need to do to relax and when we got there we ran into a few issues. With them resolved the test started. He first had to do some parking and a little driivng on the range. He passed this segment and then we went on the road. He completed this and got his certificate. He was very excited.
Friday came early and I had to stop into work briefly and take care of a little business while Michelle took the boys to the Social Security Office to get JJ's card. We then went to Genji's for lunch, a tradition for JJ's birthday. With full stomachs we then went to the Secretary of State Office. JJ needed to get his license, I needed to renew mine and we had to get new plates for two of our vehicles. We got to the counter and were waited on by one of my former employees. This helped to relieve any remaining anxiety in our crew!
We left the Secretary of State and headed for the pole barn at my old house. We took the Dodge out of storage and JJ now has his vehicle. He was really excited. We told him that he can not drive it much till we get some work done on it. That should take place this week.
JJ then had some of his friends over for pizza, cake and ice cream. They also had a fire in the pit and the evening was a wrap.
With JJ's day complete that means only one thing. My birthday, 50 years old. Where did those years go?
Kids, enjoy it while you can. Before you know it you are one of the old people.
