I just read this article by Peggy Noonan...and it definetly got me thinking about some things, thought you might enjoy the read...

A movie!!

Last night, we got Angel down to bed early and Emma was actually sleeping too, so my husband and I decided that maybe we would finally try to watch a movie...and we did!! We watched it from start to finish with no interruptions or days between!! It was an awesome movie too...check it out and make sure you watch the special feature parts, you learn a lot about the story and the movie itself. Definetly recommened: Pursuit of Happyness
(who would have thought we would be so excited and enjoy watching a simple movie together at home several years ago and consider it a good date?) Although, when we think of it, there really isn't any other place we would want to be.

Birthday Fun

Today is my birthday and this past weekend my sister Caitlin drove up from college and we celebrated both of our birthdays together. (hers was the 6th). Mom made the lumpia meal, I shared a drink with my sis, and we had cake and pie!! Caitlin's boyfriend Casey and his parents helped us celebrate as well. Caitlin and I enjoyed it so much we might celebrate our birthdays together more often...here are some pics from the weekend...and some of the special things I received. (click on to see)
