We're OOOOLD

Yesterday was Jan's 50th birthday. Yeesh. Who knew I'd end up married to an old chick?

Of course, given that she's been married to a 50-year-old guy for about 7 months now, she might say a similar thing.

We really tried to give her a nice day, though, and I think we succeeded. We went out to dinner with the whole family (her sister's family, and her mom) on Monday night. Then last night (which was her actual birthday) we gave her her presents, and went to dinner with just the four of us.

Mackenzie gave her a beautiful wood collage-type picture frame; Michael gave her a $50 movie pass; and I gave her a get-away weekend (for just the two of us). We'll take it in June (the date of the Yellow Springs street fair, which sounds like a lot of fun).

She's the hardest person in the entire world to buy for -- she admits this herself -- but I think we did good this time.

More importantly, I think she had a really nice day in which she felt at peace and loved.

Of course, none of this changes the fact that I'm married to an old chick.
