Attack of the Birthday Monkeys

Posted on May 5, 2009 10:12 AM by Joel Comm

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.
