Happy anniversarbirthday

We celebrated our one-year anniversary yesterday.  Since we got married on the 29th, we decided we'd celebrate on the 28th for three years.  And today is Ron's birthday.  Happy Birthday!  We are going to have a birthday meal at Joe's Crabshack later today.  We've had a good weekend so far even though Friday I felt just horrible.  I had a sore throat and felt warm.  A good night's sleep really helped that.  Unfortunately we had to postpone our big plans for a couple of weeks because I was afraid I would ruin it by getting full blown sick.  It's been tough at work with most of the department sneezing, coughing, etc.  I think the dryness of the air isn't helping.  Stupid KC weather.

It hella snowed yesterday which was nice.  So far it's still on the ground but I don't think that will last long.  The dogs are having a good time out there and we went out with them for a bit to toss snowballs and chase them around.   Last night we watched Lars and the Real Girl.  It's a great flick and I recommend it if you haven't seen it.  Very funny and also very sweet.  Just when you think YOU have social problems...



We've also been playing Guitar Hero, which I suck at, and House of the Dead: Overkill.  I like trying to sing to the songs on Guitar Hero because I can't play the f'n guitar or the drums for shit.  Although I sing like a dying animal, at least I have a chance of hitting the right pitches.  Alcohol helps.  House of the Dead: Overkill on Wii is hilarious.  I recommend it for the humor even though the game play kind of sucks.  It's very Grindhouse with lots of one-liners.  It's worth renting and playing through in a night.







Final news for the day.  My siblings and dad are all going to meet up at my brother Stew's house in AZ this week.  I was the only one not going so thanks to our tax return I'm flying out on Friday.  It will just be a quick trip but I think we last all saw each other at once during my oldest niece's bat mitvah in 2006.  Iam looking forward to seeing everyone.  It's hard not being able to see my family very often.  Especially now that my brother has such serious health problems.  I wish we were all closer but since we aren't, it is really important for us to try to see each other more.

I'll leave you all with some snow photos from the weekend.  Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
