Back for week #2

What a weekend it has been? Full of fun times with good company. Well, Michael and I both took Friday off of work to celebrate Michael's birthday. We did some shopping in the morning and ate lunch at La Madelene's and enjoyed each other's company. We began the major celebrations with dinner at First Chinese BBQ with some good friends and then finished up with a party at the apartment. We talked, drank, played some Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) and poker and just had a jolly good time. We also hooked up the hookahs with some new shisha we bought that was quite delicious. We even sang happy birthday and had Michael blow out some candles. Our good friend, Miriam, was in town from Albuquerque and it was so good to see her. I really hate how all of the good friends I have made over the years seem to be scattered all over. I miss you all very much.

Saturday, Michael and I had another day off together. Imagine that two days off in a row. That never happens for us. Anyway, we went to the Dallas Aboretum and it was a beautiful day to be there. The spring flowers are blooming and it was wonderful to see. We ate at Fadi's and then went to catch the Merchant of Venice at the Anglika. dinner was great, the movie was ok. overall, it was a fabulous weekend. I am so glad that Michael had so much fun at his birthday party. I believe birthdays should be full of fun and good times with friends and family.

Well, the wedding planning is still coming along. I am definitely feelings overwhelmed with stuff to do right now, but i am sure it will all get done. we are trying to figure out where we want to go for a honeymoon. We want to rent a log cabin somewhere in the moutains and do some hiking and rafting and outdoorsy stuff like that. we are leaning towards a few places in the Arkansas Ozark Mountains that look very beautiful. I will keep you all posted and if you have any ideas of beautiful places, please let me know. :)

Still havent heard back from the Peace Corps. I have heard back that they want me to get a baby molar i still have pulled and replaced before we can leave. It seems that to get a tooth implant, it costs several thousands of dollars and most insurance companies dont cover that yet. Anyway, i am going to look into a few options on monday and i will let you all know what i find out.

Well, I am off to finish up my weekend with a workout and some grocery shopping. See you in a week.
