Tim's Birthday

Last Friday was Tim's 30th birthday. We kept the celebration very low-key, just like Tim himself. He wanted to have a burrito for dinner, so we got take-out from On the Border, which has a menu item aptly named The Big Bordurrito. Tim always orders it when we eat at OTB and it is always HUGE.

I also ordered a cookie cake and had a bike put on it, mainly for Tyler's benefit. He kept saying, "Dat's Daddy's bike!" (In hindsight, I should have ordered a smaller cake because I ended up eating most of it by myself. Tim has a couple marathons coming up the next 2 weekends, so he's trying not to overdo it on the sweets). We gave Tim an electric shaver that he picked out, so he wasn't surprised by his present.

It was a quiet night at home for the four of us. We had to get to bed pretty early because we were headed to the Carolina Renaissance Festival near Charlotte the next morning.

So far, I don't think Tim is experiencing any kind of identity crisis now that he has turned 30. In fact, he commented that now he'll be in an easier age group (30-34) when competing in triathlons. His ability to relate everything back to training for or competing in triathlons is uncanny.
