Happy Birthday Jordan! Glad to have you guys in North America. I also wish I was handier with home repairs. Just bought a new drill and a sawzall, which I've been trying to build some stuff with.
H a p p y B i r t h d a y, Snej! Yes I LOVED the IT Crowd too when we saw it during our visit. I spread the word - & know of at least one other person who is hooked now as well. Haha! Thanks for reminding me! Love ya!
So cool to read that the skill you're most proud of is your language skills - and amazing to know that you speak four languages well. I still remember when you were in high school and decided that with a name like Schneider you needed to know German, so you signed yourself up for a community German class and got yourself there in the evenings and just learned it! I wish I knew how to say Happy Birthday in German - but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Happy Birthday Jordan! I'm not surprised that you'd like to watch soccer if you had spare time. You always talk about it.
Happy Birthday Snej! I think you should add music to your list of talents you appreciate. I think you are able to play a great variety of different instruments well which is something to be proud of. Thanks for coming to Gala and letting Oliver come too.
Happy Birthday Snej!!! You sound so cultured and experienced from all your answers, it's really cool. I like that your favorite food is sauerbraten, when I tried the recipe you guys gave me it was really good! And like you, I wish for an around-the-world ticket voucher as well. I still have a long way to go before I'll be as well-traveled as you though!
Happy B-day Jordan! Though I am curious, why Arsenal? Is there a reason behind that particular team over any other?
Happy Birthday! You are an inspiration to me and I love you tons!!
xoxoxoxoxo
Belated happy birthday, Jord. I was at the hospital last night and their security software wouldn't let me post on blogspot. The family bike rides sound great. I hope you'll invite me to come on some of them with the little pedal pushers. You have a great family, and I hope 32 is the best year yet. HAPPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Luv,
Dad
Thanks everyone for your comments and wishes! Snej
