Happy Birthday!

Today is Oliver’s birthday, a celebration in the midst of a pile of celebrations but one to be noted and enjoyed even so.

It’s been quite a year. He started the year living at home, working as an academic advisor down at Home Campus, and he finishes as a graduate student in history living in another state entirely. He’s had to navigate more than a few life changes and bureaucratic tasks, and he’s done well at them.

Birthdays are for celebrating, and tonight we’ll have red beans and rice, chocolate cake, and a quiet time as the new year rings in all around us, and that sounds like a good way to spend the day.

Happy birthday, Oliver! May the new year treat you kindly. I’m proud of you.
