37

Yup, today is my birthday. Another year in the life of Dan has gone by. Hard to imagine that I am 37 today. Gonna be another low key birthday for me. I tend to think that happens to everyone as they get older. Birthdays become more and more low key. Just another day. Well that might be just me.

Birthdays can be a time of reflection. The last year has been a great one. The upcoming one is going to be challenging and fun also. In the next year, I am going to be married. And yes it is my only one. That is definitely going to be the biggest event during my 37th year.

Christine has already brightened my day with some thoughtful gifts. She has to work overtime today. Her job is wanting her to work a lot of overtime. She is a little upset about, mainly I think because they are "requiring" her to do it. She was thinking of getting a second job, guess she doesn't need to worry about it now.

After she gets off work, we will go and get a little birthday dinner in. Nothing better I can think to do for today, then spend it with my baby doll.

How is everything else going? Fine, I guess. Of course the wedding is dominating everything. We are in the middle of pre cana classes. Have to go to one every Monday. I would say it is interesting, but I would be lying. I find it rather boring. Most of the material is designed for a younger audience. I am talking 18-21 year olds. Both Christine and I have been through long relationships, so much of the material is not relevant to our situation.

It isn't quite what I suspected. Not as much bible thumping as I thought there would be. Of course, we still have three more sessions. Christine is not enjoying it all. Just three more baby doll, just three more.

Well that is about it. Just one more thought. Age is really a state of mind. I know that I have turned a corner, actually I have known for a couple of years. I am not considered young anymore. I am ok with it. I feel young and I feel happy. Right now is the best time of my life. And that is saying a lot. Because I have been fortunate to have a great life, full of good people and good memories.

But right now I am on top of the world. I have a beautiful fiancee, a solid job and live in a America's finest city. What more could I want. Not much. Ok, better go and hit the gym. Need to get the circulation going.
