Rules are made to be broken

Today I'm breaking my own (unspoken) rule about only using my blog to wish family members a happy birthday. Will's birthday is today (maybe you figured that out from the picture of him on a hippo? lol). He's in a new city and his friends and family are far away, so he can't celebrate with them. I know a little bit about this (although what isn't mentioned in that post is that I celebrated my birthday with a friend of Toto's named Emily who was also celebrating her birthday; I still got a party even though I didn't know anyone!), so I just wanted to say Happy Birthday, Will! Even though I'm now almost a full day ahead of you - 19 hours with me in New Zealand and you in San Francisco - I wanted you to know that I'm thinking about you and hoping you have a great birthday.
