I'm excited for this movie!
I think it's supposed to be Rue's melody at the end....but why did they make it sound like the X-Files? Nonetheless, I'm excited for March 23rd!

We joined a gym!
It just opened (ish) and is a couple miles from where we live. It's called Vision Quest...I kind of hate the name. But Miss Washington works out there, so you know it's good!

The "card"
Some of these are inside jokes, some of these are pretty straight forward, but all are things that remind me of Kurt! I might have left one out of the collage...30 pictures are easier to collage than 31 :)

Happy Birthday KGB!
Today is Kurt's birthday! Woohoo! His morning started off with a surprise from me:
Then I prepared the cake and the table before he got home:
I drew 31 things I associate with Kurt! All freehand (no tracing here! More to come on this project...)
I made my German Chocolate cake! It was delicious. I could only find one candle- a wine bottle candle from a French restaurant we ate at a year or so ago- it says 'Celebrate' on it! I spiced things up with a star cut out :)
I think Kurt liked it!
It looks like he's going to eat the candle not blow it out.
Then we went out to eat here:
And there was a new pop machine. I've never seen so many options in my life! Here are all the diet coke options: regular, vanilla, cherry, cherry vanilla, lime, orange, and raspberry! Who's ever heard of orange and raspberry diet coke?
Happy birthday my handsome husband! 31 suits you well. And hey- there were no bloody noses this year!

Emails and Phone Calls
I received the following email a few days ago:
Hi Charity,
I'm finally getting around to my piano schedule and wanted to know if you were still interested in piano lessons for your son? If you could let me know at your earliest convenience that would be great!
Thanks so much!
Confused? Yeah...me too. The writer of the email is in my ward (at least I figured out that much) and guess what- there's another Charity in my ward! I've never had to share my name before. Weird
Kurt and I are going to visit my grandparents in a couple weeks. I called my grandma the other day and told her Kurt would only be staying for the weekend because he has to get back to work. My grandma's response? "That's just like a man". I laughed out loud and so did she :) I can't wait to visit G&G!

Thanks for the quote Lauren!
"Harry Potter is all about confronting fears, finding inner strength, and doing what is right in the face of adversity. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend."

Introducing...
MARCO!
He's a 2008 Toyota Matrix:
He's a 2008 Toyota Matrix:
We welcomed him in to our family Thursday August 18th after the not-so-sudden death of Floyd. Perhaps a more apropos name for Floyd would have been Lemon. He will not be missed.
Kurt and I are very excited for this newest addition- we'll no longer have to worry about stalling, overheating, or making it to our destination (knock on wood). And if something breaks? Well, Marco's under warranty! Woohoo! Plus, he's very shiny.
(Me and Marco)
Kurt couldn't be happier!
