Thank you for your birthday wishes!
This is what 25 looks like!
Auntie Naomi-Thank you very much for your BDay card! You won out as the first one I got and opened this year!
Grandma D's came with $20 bucks! She must have collected some casino winnings or something! :) Thanks Grandma D!
Umm, immediate family? I haven't gotten anything from you. I guess that's what I get. To me a birthday is mostly just another day. Em, I'm still looking for something for you. ;) Meg, you have an excuse. :) Now, Mom and Dad? I think you just forgot! :)
I had a relaxing day for the most part working until 4pm before going to Panera and Indiana Jones with Katy in the evening.
Movie Review
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was ultimately an entertaining movie. It was well done in the sense they kept it similar to the first three from twenty years ago by giving you places and dates and panning out to a map while they were traveling, letting you know where they were without it being in the script.
One thing I did not like was that it gave off to a sci-fi movie in the last 15 minutes or so. You kind of knew it was going to go that way but, in my opinion, I kept wanting it to stay away from that area.
I never looked at my watch signifying the entertainment value, though the last 15 minutes went by a little slow and predictable.
Mattingly Robert Thibodeau
Also, my prediction of June 4th came true for Mattingly Robert Thibodeau! Welcome, it's about time! Check it out though, I predicted it on May 12th on Megan's blog!
So here are the similarities!
I was born on June 4th and so was Mattingly!
Mattingly's middle name is Robert and so is mine!
He weighed 7 pounds and 14.5 ounces and I was 7 pounds 15 ounces!
Sad News
Though, Katy didn't have some great news to share before dinner and the movie. Her best friend, Ashley, who is in the wedding party lost her dad. He had a couple of troubling incidents with health on Friday and Saturday of last week so they had the hardest decision to make in their lives. Unfortunately we won't have Mr. Marinke at our wedding. :(
However, Ashley, James and her mom will still be able to come and I think James' mom is going to come now too. I guess it's time to just pray for them in their loss.
There is James, Ashley and Katy in June of 2006 in Cali for Chris' wedding.
There is Ashley and Mr. Marinke. To someone new he was so personable, nice, friendly, smart, knowledgeable about the real estate anywhere in CA it seemed and definitely fun as you can see with his dancing! I appreciated chatting with him, Ashley and James on this particular evening while Katy was tied up at times. Keep dancing Mr. Marinke!

Hi Joel,
Happy Birthday!! I had lunch with your mother on Monday and she gave me Megan's blog. From there I looked at yours. That is quite exciting that Mattingly was born on your birthday! I read that you went to Luce's Pizza - I think that was you. Did you think of us when you wrote that??
Love,
Donna
Donna!
I think it's a blast that he was born on my birthday! I predicted it!
I do think of you each time we go to Pizza Luce! It's some of the best pizza here in St. Paul! :)
