Next weekend is our Ministry Appreciation Dinner. This years theme is a murder mystery and it’s going to be awesome! The setting is a 1927 silent movie premier…of course that means we had to make a silent movie. Here, are a few pictures from the Movie starring Jenny Platt, Devon Delozier, and stunt double Christina Walker. After we premier the film I will make sure to post here on my blog for the world to see.
to me!
Well, yesterday was my 29th birthday, and let me tell ya’, it was a pretty good one.
The day began with me getting up way to early to drive to Chino so I could take my Commissioned Pastors test for the Reformed Church in America. Let’s just say starting your birthday off with a three hour oral exam is not my idea of an awesome birthday gift. Truth be told, I did enjoy the studying and learning…it was like I was in college again.
After completing said test I headed to the Brea Mall to use my William Sonoma gift card. If you know me, but at all, you know I love to cook..and you also know that I love that store. With my purchases in hand I made my way back to the car to make the drive home…of course I had to treat myself to a birthday lunch from Chick fil-A.
After arriving at home all I wanted to do was to take a nap, sadly it was too frickin hot I could not sleep, instead I watch Ghostbusters 2…yup that’s right…don’t mock me, you know you love it.
My wife had told me we had plans with The Garrisons for dinner so at 7 we took Bella to my mom’s where…SURPRISE…a birthday party was at hand…and not just any surprise party but a “Lost” themed Surprise party, complete with tropical decor and plenty of Dharma food to go around.
I was actually very surprised that my wife pulled off a party with out me finding out. Of course it helps that she actually decided the day before to do it…and thankfully for me most of my friends didn’t have plans…I’m not sure what that says about all of us.
I have to give a big thanks to my wife for throwing me a party, especially themed to something I love…and she hates. Also, huge thanks go to Travis and Carrie for helping get everything ready all day Saturday, Angelo for being the tech superhero, Tanya for being Lost inspiration, and of course everyone that was able to make it on such short notice.
As with any fun event I have some awards to give out…so without further adieu…
Best Look a Like to a Lost Character – Jon Gaw as John Locke
Most creative Lost costume – Jen Davies as Smokey
Multiple personality – Liana Dickson as Kate, Rousseau, or Alex (She looked liked all of them)

Funniest (inappropriate) birthday card – Mike and Beth Hutton
Funniest (non-inappropriate) birthday card – Darren and Jenny Platt
Best song played – Big Poppa
Well, there you have it my 29th birthday in a nutshell. If you didn’t know it was my birthday or you couldn’t make it to the party I hold no grudges…that being said I like Barnes and Noble, Starbucks, and Ikea 
As soon as I get some pictures I will post.
It’s Sunday…I want to blog but I have so many thoughts in my head that I am not sure how to focus on just one. So I decided I would share the randomness that exists in my head. Without any fan-fair i give you my random thoughts for today.
