Yep, I turned 31 today. I’ve gotten tons of well-wishes and phone calls, and I thank all of you for your encouragement! As usual, I don’t really feel any different. I am definitely grateful that God has given me 31 years on this planet, surrounded me with so many wonderful people, and allowed me to live such a rich life. It’s been a month-long celebration, to be honest. We had a family party a couple of weeks ago for the Box family birthdays in October (there are four!). Tonight Jenny made me a delicious dinner and birthday cake, and her family came over to party with us. Tomorrow night my parents plan to come over and watch Brenden while Jenny and I go out for dinner and coffee alone. It’s been a great month, and I pray for a great year to come.

Gas Buddy
I’m trying hard to talk about things other than my beloved iPhone, but I have to tell you about one app called GasBuddy that you can use, too. GasBuddy shows you where the nearest gas station is and how much it charges for gas. Obviously, it’s very useful if you’re out driving around and need to fill up. But even if you don’t have an iPhone, you can get the gas price data from GasBuddy.com and then head over to the cheapest station.
Interestingly, the fuel price data comes from the people who use the app and website, not from the stations themselves. As a result, on any given day the price listed on GasBuddy might be slightly off until someone updates it. However, I now have a fun new hobby: uploading gas prices for every station I find.
Yes, I’m a nerd. That’s why you love me.
