Today my oldest turned 18!!! As I sit here and try to figure out where time has gone, I can’t help but think of how proud I am of the man he has become. I am also amazed that well he is now 18 years old, I don’t look a day older than the day I delivered him. Amazing, I know!
The fact that he’s now an adult has thrown me for quite a loop. Although the benefits are many, I no longer have to pay the unaccompanied minor fee when the boys travel to Minnesota without us. There’s $150 saved! He can finally buy a lottery ticket, however, he informed me today he felt his money would be better spent on stocks. I’ll be referring him to Garth’s new book for some great pointers as he starts his investment journey.
This evening he brought Alexis to figure skating and she had some great gems for him including this nugget of gold. He needs to get a better job, so he can drive her in the limo she deserves. She definitely takes after her dad John. She also shared her plan to go to college and then get a good job, so she can buy a limo to be driven around in. I have to say I love her style!
Jake and his brothers enjoyed a nice dinner Sushi Yama and some Arrested Development. We had an awesome cake from Menchies with a hodgepodge of number candles after the Mayor failed to deliver his ear wax candle he had promised Jacob earlier. I’m sure Jacob more than a bit relieved that the Mayor failed to deliver the candle he promised would smell both like a fart and his ear.
In a little over two weeks, Jacob and I will head down to Miami to see Paul McCartney. I’m thrilled that my son’s dream gift was tickets to see one of my idols. As a Beatles fan since childhood, this concert is a dream for both Jake and I. Happy birthday Jake!!!!
