Birthday Weekend
This past Friday was my birthday and I got lots of birthday wishes from may people. My best friend covered about every online communication I have set up. It put a big smile on my face to see greetings from her all over the internet! Thanks Mel!! Friday, I took the afternoon off and came home to a big surprise from Mark. In our living room the Television set had changed quite a bit. Mark got a new High-Def TV as a New Home/Birthday present. It was quite amazing to see the difference in the High-Def quality. Sunday NFL football was a different experience.
A couple months ago we bought some calla lily bulbs from Lowes to see if we could get them to grow and we only had one grow until Friday. So Mark made sure to point out that the other calla lily decided to grow on my birthday. I have to say it was kind of weird that it sat there for a couple months and decided to pop up that day.
Saturday we got to meet some of our new neighbors. Our neighborhood association has started to have more activities to bring the neighborhood closer and Saturday morning was the newcomer’s brunch. Mark and I joke because we know there will be about a 15-20 year gap at least and we usually are the youngest ones there by far. It’s still good to get out and meet people in our neighborhood. I also found out that I agreed to be a block captain. A neighbor of ours asked if I would want to do it and I never really said yes but she kind of announced at the brunch that I agreed to do it. I was defiantly surprised but it’s not a big responsibility given that there are only about 3 houses on our block right now.
Sunday we had some friends over to watch some football on the new TV, Mark grilled and we just enjoyed good company. Sunday night was Southland’s annual thanksgiving dinner. The food was delicious as always and the Skinny Improv preformed. They are a local Christian improv group. They did a really good job and again it was great to fellowship with some of our friends.
That sums up our weekend. Hope you enjoyed hearing about it. 
Block Captain, next will be room mother when you have children and then who knows from there. It is good to see you meeting your neighbors and becoming involved in the neighborhood and community. I am sure they are happy to have a young couple around.
I tagged you on my blog! So post . . .
Can’t wait to see you over Turkey vacation.
Love,
Melissa
