Turning 29, or, one year closer to 30

26 was a big year for me. That's how old my deacon's quorum advisor was (youth leader for 12 year-olds) when I was 12, and for some reason that age has stuck with me as a threshold to adulthood. I'm now three years past the mark and I still can't believe it. And 30 is next?!?!?

We began the morning with belgian waffles (proper belgian waffles, including sugar pearls, thanks to Papa Jeff!), which were heavenly. The sugar crystals caramelize in the waffle iron and coat the whole thing in a crisp candy shell. It's magical. 



And later in the day, the ladies presented me with a marzipan cake, one of my favorite things!





For my birthday they bought me a little drone quadcopter. Small and simple. No camera, but a good starter. And here are some videos of us failing to fly it well. Haha. It's hard!
