Basically 30

It's true, Derek is 28.  I've been teasing Derek that he is basically 30. 

And what cake do we have every year for Derek's Birthday?  The SAME Cake we have every year!!

(Say this with a sinister Pinky and the Brain theme song and voice)

Hali asked Derek today how old he would be.  He replied "28".  Hali's response "You're basically 30!"

So you see.  Derek is really 30. 

We had Derek's high school buddies come, ya know, the usuals, Scott, Mike and Caleb.  They drank apple beer, some Brazilian pop, brats, and watched some movie.  I think this is what we do every year with his friends.  

OBTW, Derek's 10 year HS reunion is also coming up (which just adds to the oldness) and are currently looking for a prank wife for Scott to take to the reunion.  Know anyone up to the challenge?

Aggie?

Oh my, we are sitting at a 10 pm game in Logan, Utah. The students are insane.    IT IS DEAFENING. So weird to see all this student pride.   There is even a star student, a very large star. Bill is a three hundred plus guy with no shirt.

"When shirtless bill locks eyes with his prey they rarely leave unharmed". Quote for ESPN.  The ESPN.

Basically, he is the reason Derek wanted to come. What a beauty.  Tonight, Bill dressed up as a mermaid.  He had some kind of wrap around his large bosom area with long flowing, neon green fins, complete with a blonde wig.  Don't worry, Derek has become friends with him on Facebook now.

Why we heart Derek

Straight from Kona’s Mind

He eats a Cherry Twizzler Nib, I get a Cherry Twizzler Nib, He eats a Cherry Twizzler Nib, I get a Cherry Twizzler Nib, He eats a Cherry Twizzler Nib, I get a Cherry Twizzler Nib.

He likes me even when I am a bad dog.

He eats a Cashew, I get a Cashew, He eats a Cashew, I get a Cashew, He eats a Cashew, I get a Cashew.

He bites the gummy bears head off, I get the rest, He bites the gummy bears head off, I get the rest,

I can bark at him and he’ll always ask me what I need.

He comes and finds me every time I run away.

I walk in the room, he pats my head and tells me I am cute.

He cleans up my poop.

He will come to the library with me and carry my neon green tote full of books, even though he knows I never read all of them.

He makes me laugh, even when I pretend his jokes aren’t funny.

He will tell me when I have a weird outfit on, even though he know I’ll wear it anyway.

He rarely gets mad but when he does, he folds lots of laundry until he’s not mad.

He will come to the grocery store with me and we have to go up every row.

He takes care of me.

He’s always happy.

He likes to shop at the DI and thrift stores with me.

He’s not a picky eater.

He looks good in his soccer gear and he plays soccer with me.

He is super cute.

Happy Valentine's Day Boy!
