Sunday Afternoon: September 27, 2026

After 22 years of marriage, I know Joy pretty well. She still manages to surprise me, though. Since today is her birthday, I thought I’d introduce you to a few sides of her you don’t usually see at the office.

She can change the brakes on a car and built her own AR rifle (and had it finished in purple). She’s also the only person I’ve met who gets excited about projects like resurfacing cabinets or tiling a floor, even when it’s for someone else’s house. In fact, Joy tiled the front desk at our office. She’s basically MacGyver with a much better shoe collection.

She loves a good murder mystery or sci-fi book, hates the feel of velvet, and is one of the few people I know who doesn’t like chocolate. Offer her lasagna, though, and you’re speaking her language.

Many of you know Joy as the person who keeps our office organized and tells it like it is. I know her as all of that, plus the wonderful mom you see here with Mikayla and Brett. After all these years together, she can still surprise me.

For example, on a recent birthday, Joy could have chosen a nice dinner or a relaxing weekend away. Instead, she chose to shoot a machine gun from a flying helicopter.

Happy birthday, Joy! We love you!

Have a great afternoon,

Dr Ring
