So I had the opportunity to celebrate my 32nd birthday while I was back in the states with my buddies in Seattle and Portland.  Thanks to everyone who made it out to visit me.  I am truly loving life in Munich but it is always great to see family and friends.  Thanks to Dave, Daisy, Mary and Nicki for spending several evenings wih me in good old Bellevue and Kirkland, so I wasn’t bored. Special thanks to Greg’s Mom and Dad who had to nurse me back to health as I bragged about not being sick in 5 months and then the next day getting my worse cold!  A few pictures of the festivities below and more in the albums.
