today nick is 29, that means one more year until he is 30 and has to start acting like an adult. doesn't it seem like when you turn 30 you no longer have the freedom to be as frivilous as when you were in your 20's? i'm not sure, i haven't gotten there yet... but i imagine it to be this way. so i guess nick has one more year to be frivilous before he turns 30 and becomes an old man.
as a tribute to him on his birthday: 29 things we couldn't do without, some of them frivilous...
- his crazy chants that get ammon riled up
- his dedication to his school work... hours of studying italian
- his excitement about writing for the campus paper
- his excitement about coming up with his own story ideas for the campus paper
- his hours he puts in at work and STILL finds time to do a good job in school
- his facination with fantasy football... and baseball... and basketball... and sometimes hockey
- his willingness to learn new things, like fixing body damage on our car
- his love for animals
- his willingness to get cheese for our family and friends with his awesome hook-up
- his service in helping people move
- his love for the gospel
- his love for his family
- his giving to those in need (i have seen him give food and even his own coat to another)
- his drive to be healthy
- his need to give his children toys... sometimes too many...
- his love of music
- his worry for his family that is not with him
- his desire to take ammon with him to run errands, just to spend time with him
- his wanting to share everything sports with ammon and take him to games
- his addiction to ice cream, and not the cheap stuff
- his love of things with sprinkles
- his obsession with "the office", that we both share
- his missing the seattle rain
- his love of books, especially biographies
- his love for anything vanilla
- his laugh while watching something funny, even if it is the 3rd time he has seen it
- his amazing artistic abilities
- his love of cupcakes
- his love for me
happy birthday sweety-butt! make this year count!

WOW I can't believe that you are almost the big 30. All I have to say is happy birthday. I miss you, and hope that all is well. I think of you everyday when I am listening to 950 KJR. Have a great birthday.

Nick YOU ARE AWESOME! You bring excitement and fun to our family. Remember, birthdays are good for you - the more you have, the longer you live! LIVE IT UP! Love, the Greens
Melanie, don't be afraid to free yourself of that friendship bread! Your sanity depends on it! :.) Instead of all the old people jokes I read this positive take on a birthday card.- THIRTY A BRAND NEW DECADE!! Loved it because that will be me next year. Cool turtle!
