Celebrations -- March 4th 2009

First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to James... Yes, 24 years ago the world was blessed with a little fat baby who grew up to become...

MY HUSBAND!!!!

Hurray!!

We had a fun day. Went for lunch at the Portelet Inn, which is just up the road. The view is absolutely SUPERB, although the food was a little disappointing. We were the only people there, so we picked the best seats in the house -- excellent view of the bay and bathed in sunshine. We watched some fishing boats battle the swells and enjoyed our Greek Platter with Guacamole (not so Greek...). Decided it was time to move on once a pair of giggling middle-agers (well they were) took the table two feet away from us -- remember the place was EMPTY. Why do people do that?!

This afternoon we hung out, played some Wii Olympics and then... the shrill ring of my cell phone shattered the silence (mm, the Wii music). I answered. James paused the Wii. I sat down. James bit his nails. I smiled.

I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wahoo. Can't wait to start -- hopefully Monday. And now we're taking bets on how soon James will be offered at least one job; I reckon by the end of next week. Any other takers?

So -- a FANTASTIC day and hopefully the start of feeling much more settled. And a shout out to our friends the Thompsons (Thanks for your message and we're thinking of you guys often!) -- go check out the comment on our last post... they hit the nail on the head and James will indeed be progressing to Pull-Ups tomorrow (after I drop him at creche). It's been a big day!
