Nick's Birthday

I have pictures to post, but of course, they are on Nick's camera that he takes to Ontario with him every week.

Nick's birthday was last Saturday (the 25th) and he turned the big 2 6. I cannot believe how time files. I was joking around with him that he is now in his mid to late twenties since he is past the halfway mark. Then I started to think about things. We have been out of high school for 7.5 years. We have both been done with our first batchelor degrees for (me 3.5 years) and nick 2.5 years. I don't know if I like how fast time starts to go by once you are out of school and in the real world.

Anyway, Nick had a great birthday. We went down to Coos Bay with his dad and the rest of his family for an 80th birthday party for his grandma Lois. After the birthday, we stayed down in Coose Bay for the night and made a visit to the casino, where, despite never gambling (much) we won $600. For his birthday, Nick got a pair of Denali north face fleece gloves and a lafuma chair (from me), a Nintendo Wii (from his mom) and a tool set (from his dad). Additionally, he got a gift certificate to GI Joes (from Linda and Ashley). Pretty successful if you ask me!

The October Tan

It is a hard thing being married to a Greek. Greeks are blessed with flawless skin, a georgeous tan ALL year round, thick dark hair, beatiful long eyelashes etc. It makes it more difficult when the Greek is a guy since they could care less about these things. Ugh. So, as a result, any picture that is taken of Nick and I shows Nick all tan and stuff~and then me, all pasty...magnified by the fact that he is tan, which doesn't help the situation! So...I went tanning. Ok, I went tanning and then got talked into a spray tan. I am going to go back to work and have to be like, yea, flew to Hawaii last night, tanned in the dark, flew back! WHAT WAS I THINKING!!! It is October and I have a new TAN! This is like, really emberassing since I am not really one to do this kind of thing much less in a way that makes it SO obvious that I spray tanned. Ugh. Let me say it again. Ugh. It seemed like a good idea at the time though.

This picture was stolen

Thank you to Matt and Missie who are actually good at documenting life with pictures. I stole this from their blog to prove that yes, we are crazy and ate pizza at Sy's at 1am after the duck game.
