Happy Birthday Eric!

HAPPY BIRHTDAY ERIC!!!!

Eric's birthday landed on a weekend that he couldn't come home to Idaho. I decided to fly out and spend the weekend with him. I left Idaho with snow and cold, excited to enjoy the warm weather of Houston. Guess what? Houston was cold too. I had to buy a jacket. It didn't stay cold the whole time, luckily. Eric worked on Friday so I just hung out in his apartment and read a book. Saturday we woke up and went to help clean the church. We got stuck with the bathrooms. Yuck! Clogged toilet in the mens and no plunger. We spent the day driving around looking at possible areas to buy a house. We toured some very lovely model homes. We still have no idea where we are going to live. If we get a place with a little bit of land then the commute becomes an issue. If we stay close to Eric's office then we have to live in a house that has no yard and the neighbors are VERY close. We are used to 5 acres. Can we get used to having neighbors that are 10 feet away? AND can we have our bees there? Oh boy this gives me heartburn just thinking about it.

On October 27th Eric turned 51. We decided that 51 candles may cause a little catastophe so we opted for the 5 and 1.

Blowing out the candles....wait the candles are not lit! We had no matches and nothing in the Houston apartment to light them.
