birthday

Well, my birthday was great! Last night I had an amazing time in Dallas with Eden. She got me a sweet record album of U2's "War." It is so awesome.
Then today I had breakfast with the family and opened a couple presents. Drew got me a sweet picture of like the sunset and trees and stuff. It's really big. I had to get some spray stuff to protect it. I need a very large frame in order to frame it. Daniel got me a capo for guitar, which I needed.
We ate Dickey's Barbecue this afternoon and then my Dad, Drew, and I went to see Avatar in 3D at the studio movie grill. SO AWESOME! It was totally immersive and totally worth it. I haven't seen a movie that good ever. It was really well animated and written too. The only thing is there were very political ideas in it. Oh well, the awesomeness made up for that. I recommend seeing it in 3D because it added so much dimension to it.
So, my birthday was super awesome and I will remember it forever. Thanks to all who made it happen.

Every new day
I wake up
to the sun
and the world gives me a smile

this day I woke up
and gave a smile back
because today I knew
that everything was alright

I thank God for days like these
for family and for trees
for friends of all degrees
and for all the special memories

so while beauty in the world
still smiles at me
I'm standing here so glad
that I can smile back
