First, let me dissuade you from the notion that this post is taking the place of our "Almost Wordless Wednesday" segment, because it's not. I know you'd much rather look at our pictures than listen to me ramble so I promise you they're coming.
But I did want to say a very big "Thank You" to everyone who stopped by yesterday to wish me a happy birthday. I'm definitely the guy who tries to pretend that my birthday doesn't exist (always have been), so to see all the comments left here, on Facebook, and on Twitter for me was just amazing. I've never been told happy birthday so many times in one day in my entire life. It really made yesterday special for me.
I also owe a huge thank you to my wife Stephanie for swooping in with a surprise post here and asking you guys to participate and interact with us. Her idea was awesome and leave it to her to come up with something like that. Lord knows I never could, and wouldn't for that matter. I want you to know that I read each and every one of the comments (there were some great gift ideas in there!), and even though I don't have time right now to go back and answer each and every one individually, I read them all and appreciated them so much!
Maintaining a blog isn't always easy. It's hard work to write and take all the pictures we do, but I still maintain I started it to try and share the joy we feel in The Parks with others the best way that we know how. There have been a lot of discouragements in the past few weeks that at times left us wanting to pack it all in, and shrink back into the anonymity of just being regular Annual Passholders again, but yesterday just reaffirmed for me and re-encouraged me about doing this. I've met some amazing people and made some amazing friends because we started writing here, and I wouldn't want that to change for the world.
Here's to another year of making new friends and meeting more amazing people. Cheers!

Just want to add 1 more happy birthday to you. And remind you that blogging is about sharing. In your case it's the love of Disneyland. Even if no one reads your words, you still get to share, so don't stop.
You're welcome. Sounds like you had a great day! :) The virtual gifts were a good idea. It was so much fun to imagine the endless possibilites! Hi to Stephanie and the kids too! °o°
@Disneyland Obsession-
Thanks so much for the birthday wish, and the encouragement.
You're absolutely right and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon :)
@Vicki-
It WAS fun! And thank you very much! Will definitely pass on your greetings to the fam :)
