Mama Fu's Fortunes, Happy Birthday to Me!, Date Night

We went to Mama Fu's again on Wednesday for Kids Eat Free night. I got two fortune cookies:

"A chance meeting opens new doors to success and friendship."

"A big fortune will descend upon you this year."

Right on.

The family threw a birthday party for me yesterday (I turned 36!). I came in and there was a Happy Birthday banner and all the kids had matching "My Dad Is the Man!" t-shirts. Awesome.

And we finally got an American flag for our house. It's nice to see it waving from the second floor porch.

Melinda's parents got me a 1971 silver dollar and a 1971 proof set. You know, that was so thoughtful - something I'll really enjoy and cherish. And the kids got me the Peter Pan DVD.

We also had cake with 36 candles. That many candles really is quite hot. Melinda and I both burned ourselves.

My family rocks.

Melinda and I went out to see Premonition with Sandra Bullock. It was interesting, but I'm not sure I really liked it. Then we went to Barnes and Nobel (as usual) and Melinda got a few Newberry Medal books.

Savannah Ferguson is our babysitter lately. We miss Rachel, but Savannah is great. Her dad is my new Home Teaching companion. I really look forward to serving with him and getting to know him better.
