bday shenanigans and ashley visits

well, scooter and dave finally gave me the present they started bugging me about giving me since 9pm last night. i'm a slave to tradition and surprises so i made them wait until today. they were good sports. at 10:33 they unveiled the prize. it was a tshirt of sweetness that just... works. here's my serious pose:

here, you'll also see my sweet new dragon sunglasses that troy made possible, and finally the outfit is topped off with a sweet and thoughtful RUCA hat from preston. these guys, they're so good to me. i'm really glad to know them. not just cause they bought me presents, but mainly cause they buy me gifts, and i appreciate that. at the end of the day, it's what sifts through the colander of friendship. thanks so much guys!

this should be a day filled with grandeur and excitement. not for me, but for all of us, and hispanic single-family home owners across the nation. i hope for nothing less. we're gearing up to head to corolla, then possibly jockey's ridge before a delicioso dinner at mama k's! i'm excited. this week has been awesome so far, and i couldn't have asked for a better group of guys to go with.

it was also a pleasant surprise last night to have ashley come stay with us for a bit while she was in town. we had so much fun playing charades and hangin around the house. aren't they an adorable couple everyone?














anyways, i'm out. have a good day everyone!
peace,
martin
