Birthdays

David and I had our birthdays last week.  We received many calls, emails/texts/facebook posts, and cards from all our family and we wanted to say again, Thank You!!

Dad and Janet took us to Joe's Crab Shack (this is now apparently a tradition we do, since it's the third birthday dinner with parents in a row).  David's happy he gets to work so hard at his meal:

(pardon his goofy photo expression)

Although his birthday is first and we both ordered each others' gifts the same day, mine arrived first:

A K-cup coffee machine, so we don't waste nearly a whole pot of coffee on the weekends, plus I love all the variety of flavored coffees/teas in K-cup form :)

David's gift, I had to order all the way from Surrey in England.  He was home when it arrived and saw the location and was able to narrow down the possible gifts it could be to one of two choices!  He waited until I got home to open it and was very happy and (partially) surprised.

He absolutely loves the British show Top Gear, and somehow got Janet and Dad hooked on it too.  For those of you who don't watch the show, there is a professional driver on the show to test all the cars they discuss, called "The Stig" because he is supposed to be anonymous, and therefore never talks, and always wears a full racing suit with helmet.  

Thanks, Janet for giving me this idea for his gift :) 

Currently, at home, I'm trying to complete a knitted pullover that's taking a lot longer than anticipated.  I wanted to finish it before our cruise which is in 5 DAYS.  eek!  I've accepted the fact I won't be finished with it, but I'm still working on it whenever I can.  So much left to do before Vacay...but then we'll be relaxing!
