Yesterday was Moiz's birthday party and it was awesome. All of the guys (14 of us) met up at this place called Flightdeck in Anaheim. Basically, you are in a full on flight simulator with 6 other people and you have a dogfight against them. Since there were 14, we went in 2 groups. It was amazing. We got to do takeoffs, then free fly for 10 minutes to get the hang of it, and then dog fight for a good 20-30 minutes. Towards the end, they let us do 4 landings, one daytime, one nighttime, and 2 on an aircraft carrier.
Yours truly received the Top Gun award for the best pilot for the afternoon. Got 18 kills and stuck all 4 landings. I was channeling my inner Maverick (Top Gun reference...). Thank you Xbox 360 flying games. Without those games, it would not have been possible.
After, we all met up with the females of the group at Chili's for dinner. My friends, Yusuf and Fareeda, brought their little girl, Jumana. She is so freaking adorable. I spent the rest of the evening just taking pictures of her. She is very photogenic, so it made my job easy. Here are a few pictures from last night.

And here she is showing off her beautiful smile and new tooth.
I would just like to say that the only reason you were able to get 18 kills is that I would fly up in front of you and wait for you to shoot me down. That's what good friends do.
