Happy Birthday Petey!!!

Our good friend Rob, shares the wonderful date of August 13 as his date of birth with Peter. In order to celebrate this joyous occasion, Rach (Rob's fiance) and I decided to plan a joint birthday weekend celebration. We had the 2010 Birthday Beach Bash in St Pete Beach, more specifically, we stayed at the cutest hotel "The Postcard Inn". As you all know, our group is big on themes, so we decided to make this weekend a "great men throughout history theme". The signature color was green, closest thing to Peridot (the birthday boys' birthstone), we had a sandwich bar in honor of August being "National Sandwich Month", we had a huge size party float and we had the beach as our witness to a great celebration with wonderful friends!. Please enjoy the pictures of Peter and Rob's Birthday Celebration!

Moral of the story: Don't dive in the pool and splash Rob......even if you are 12!!! For explanation of this event's moral, you will have to contact the Mennite's directly! LOL

Our senior citizen puppies

We have used this blog for almost 2 years now to keep our loved ones informed of the events in our life. We have always been able to share happy moments, great memories, and good times in our life. This post is a little different than the usual ones. Monopoly and Jaxon have been a part of our lives for a long long time. Monopoly turns 9 in a few weeks and Jax turns 11 in May. Although our pups love to play (Monopoly mostly with humans and jaxy pretty much wants to play with anything or anyone at anytime)they don't have major medical problems, eat and go to the bathroom normally, we still knew that soon the boys would start entering their "older age". About 2 weeks ago, Monopoly started acting extremely out of character. For those who know "M Junior" (M Junior or MJ is one of Monopoly's many nicknames, Junior because he is Monica's junior) know that he is extremely smart, extremely verbal, a little socially awkward, socially phobic and never ever e...

A broom and the salt bottle

So we finally moved this weekend! How is it that we still have so much crap??? The move is really what inspired this blog story. I've been with Monica for some years now and during those years, we have had MANY moves, so I still don't now how Monica's superstitious "Colombian" beliefs still amuse me! According to Monica's family, when one moves, they leave behind the old broom and the bottle of salt. The reason is because you leave the bad luck from the old home (symbolized by the broom and salt bottle) and you buy new ones representing the good luck that will come in the new home. The funny part is that I can probably write a book regarding Monica and her family's superstitions (spiders, flies, pearls, dolls, glass breaking, the list goes on and on, but those other stories will be for future blogs). For now let's focus on the broom and the salt. It was our first night in the new place, monIca and I decided to grill out in celebration for a ha...
