Golden Boy

The Golden Birthday

19 on the 19th.

 

This year his birthday fell on a Sunday.

Sunday in our family means church and fellowship with friends,

and a long drive both ways.  It's worth it, we love our church.

 

Sunday does change it up a little bit,

 

but not too much.

Matthew's birthday dinner request: 

creamy chicken enchiladas

 Dessert:

carrot cake

  When I asked Matt what he'd like to do for his birthday, he told me he just wanted to come home and spend time with the family playing games.  Is that not the best?!  He's been working a LOT and I think he just wanted a low-key, just chillin' kind of day 

reconnecting with us

We had a Connect Four tournament.  We played Gin { or Rummy?  I always get those confused } Golf, Chess, and Settlers of Catan.

It really was such an enjoyable day with lots of laughter.

 

 

In keeping with tradition I'll list a few fun facts about Matt, that you may or may not know.

• He reads really fast.
• Men's fashion is his thing.
• He is new to kilt-wearing, but thinks they are super comfy.
• He started his own blog this year.
• He is a bank teller.
• Still CLEPing, but slower than he'd like.
• His siblings are his best friends.

 

If I could only have three words to ascribe to Matthew they would be

integrity, loyalty, and witty.

 

Eric and I pray that God will use these qualities for His glory as Matt continues venture out in this big, wide world.
