Happy 89th Birthday DAD!!! And since I was born on my Dads’ birthday I turn 46 today. So Happy Birthday to US!

I’ll go to work like usual and after work Shannon and I plan on using a coupon to eat at a restaurant in Lee’s Summit. Basically two dine for one with the coupon. I get to pick out my birthday cake and haven’t decided which to get. I’m deciding between a small “wedding/birthday” cake at the grocery store (with real icing) or the huge 14 pound triple layer chocolate cake at Cost Co. I’ll stop and get the cake after work, we’ll go to dinner, then back home we’ll eat cake!

Happy Birthday Dad, I hope you have many more!

When I tell people that I cut my own hair they usually have the same response: “You cut your own hair! How do you do it?”. So I thought I would take advantage of my new camcorders time lapse feature and film my hair cut. Cutting my hair usually takes about an hour including the prep, hair cut, and clean up.

There ya go!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I spent some quality time with my folks in Omaha and ate WAY too much food!

Shannon and I went for a ride and drove through the Christmas In The Park were they take a camp ground and fill it with beautiful lighted scenes. You’ll have to excuse my video taking skills. This is the first movie made from a new little camcorder that I just got. I tend to bounce around alot and move too fast. It’s also a little over 16 minutes long. I hope you can enjoy it – just ignore our talking.
