Shortly after getting back from PA to celebrate the G'parents Anniversary, we celebrated my birthday...without electricity. For several days we were without power! It. Was. Awful. In addition to no power we also had no hot water. For the first day we didn't take showers. By the end of day 2, we gave in and experienced the coldest (and probably fastest) showers of our lives. It was a memorable birthday week!
During the "black-out"; eating Frosty's while watching a movie on the ipad. Thank goodness we had an ipad!!
With the flash on. Everything looks almost normal here. But it wasn't.
Matt wearing a new dress shirt he got from his mom for his B-day. Doesn't he look so handsome and grown-up? The answer is YES.
We've had the sister misisonaries over A LOT since we've moved here. We love them. They bring such a sweet spirit into our home. I can't help but think of Julia whenever I see them. For one of our meals together I went full-on Mexican! We had pork simmered in a homemade mole sauce, Mexican rice, tortillas, homemade salsa, chips, salad with peppers, avocados, toasted pumpkin seeds, cotija cheese, and homemade cilantro-lime dressing. It was delicious!
For dessert we had lemon mousse, strawberry compote and fresh whipped cream.
FYI, we found out I was pregnant two days after I made this meal (which was right after our "black out"). The constant nausea immediately followed. What was once amazing and delicious food now made me want to vomit! Even the smell of leftovers heating in the microwave made my stomach turn. Poor Matt had to eat ALL the leftovers by himself.
We went to a Greek Festival and had some of the best Gyro's we've ever had! When we sat down to eat there was a small band playing. Following the band a group of teenagers performed some traditional Greek dances.
Obviously I did something wrong while uploading the videos from our camera. I'll have Matt fix it when he gets home.
