Sweet Yet Sour

Today, February 12th, is the birthday of the legendary Mike Munhall! Okay, so he’s not legendary, but he and his photography will be someday, I just know it. 

I’m not sure if he would like it if I said how old he is, but he’s a guy, so he can’t mind as much as we women do.  Mike is 35 today. He wrote “Old Fart” on this day on the calendar on our fridge, but I just don’t think so Mike! You’ve got thirty – forty more years before you can say that!

Some things that Mike should be proud of on his birthday:

1. Mike is an EXCELLENT photographer.  Not only does he have a great eye for photography, his talents cross from nature, architecture and macro photography; he’s not just stuck in one genre.

2. Mike is an artful developer.  His code is well done and he’s careful to write his code so that it lasts, unlike many “slap-it-together” developers.

3. Mike is a wonderful husband.  He is caring and thoughtful, while keeping me laughing.

4. Mike is a great athelete.   He can master any sport he puts his mind to take on, whether it be hockey, tennis, soccer or football.  He is adept at learning new sports and works hard to be the best.

5. Mike is a dedicated and smart student when he’s in school (which is not right now).  He works hard to always get the best grade and really learn the subjects he is studying.  

6.  Mike is a great uncle.  At least Brendan would say so, and he can only mutter a few sentences, but I know he thinks that Mike is fun and is always asking for Uncle Mike to come over to his house.

7. Mike is a good dog owner as well.  Cash adores him and Mike is doing really well for owning his first dog.  If you’ve never had a dog before the tendency is to spoil them rotten (which he does a little), but Mike is good at keeping the discipline up so that Cash knows to be well behaved.

There’s so much more that Mike has to be proud of, but I think I should save some for next birthday… Suffice to say “Happy Birthday Mike!”
