Cinco de Mike-O

Last night I had the pleasure of celebrating Mike Colon’s birthday at Koji’s Shabu Shabu.




Shabu Shabu, our waiter patiently explained, is a Japanese word that translates into ‘Swish Swish’. We sat around a large table with boiling pots with which we were to add our condiments and make our own soup. Conversing through screens of steam, Regis, Shyla, [b]ecker, Keats, and I had a great time laughing and talking about a myriad of things. We laughed at [b]ecker’s old wedding photos he posted on his blog, we congratulated Shyla on her graduation from Life Bible College, and spoke about how Keat’s manages her busy schedule as Gary Fong’s assistant, among other things.



I felt blessed to be celebrating Mike’s birthday with 20 wonderful people. Here's a picture of Mike and those who sat at our table. (Becker, Keats, Me, Shyla, Julie, Mike, and Regis)



I e-mailed Mike early yesterday morning and wished him a happy 24th birthday…he responded that, yes, in fact he was 24-years-old. Plus a few years ☺


Here are my favorite pictures from last night: Becker and Mike romantically sharing a Diet Coke...
