Today we celebrated my 50-20th birthday. (yeah that really is 70 but...) The city of Orem has a system of about 20 local parks and we met in Nielsen's Grove on 2000 South. It is well maintained and handy to get to. We had about 35 attend and it was very rewarding to have new friends from the mission and ward, older friends from the earlier mission and old friends from much earlier in life.
At heart I am a little doubtful of my contribution to life and this was a great ego booster for me. A lot of nice things were said. Kristen took pictures and I will post them in a day or so.
Physically it was very tiring as I was on my feet for 2 hours talking to friends.
However, I am very grateful to Melissa who organized the 'potluck' and Mom for the cake and to all who made me feel very special.
Thank you all who attended. I love and appreciate you, your friendship and support. It gives me incentive to want to celebrate my 50-25 accomplishment.
