Today is my 45th birthday. The older you get, the less birthdays seem to matter.
But today I feel very special and blessed.
My wife woke me with sweet birthday wishes, some balloons and a funny card.
Then I drove to the office and was greeted with a surprise from my awesome staff.
Check out the video below...

Beautiful gesture from your team.
Warm regards and best wishes on this happy day. So you're only 9 years older than myself. Very inspiring.
Keep up the good work, and enjoy the day. :-)

Hi Joel,
That was cool Joel. At least they didn't turn everything upside down and tape it down.
Happy Birthday! I hope I didn't miss it, but just in case, Happy Belated Birthday!
Have a blessed day!

Hi, I am new to your blog, so let me first extend Belated Birthday Wishes. You in deed have a great staff. I too will be having one of those dreaded B-Days here in a couple weeks, and you are right the older you get the less they seem to matter. I can only hope that my day is 1/2 as good as yours. Best wishes for a great year.
