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

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...

Gain or no Gain

So quick funny story.... It might be one of those "you had to be there stories" but I will try since it caused a lot of laughter for us. Last sunday we were at Sam's club buying our monthly stuff. We knew we needed detergent so we went to the cleaning aisle and looked for the gain detergent that we have been buying for many months now. It was such a great deal, we would get 133 onz for a little over 9 dollars. That's many many many loads of laundry. So as we walked down the aisle, I realized Peter had overlooked our great "gain" bottle. I yelled down the aisle "Pete it's right here, this is the one". Peter turns and smiles, holding in the laughter. He then said, well....now I know why our detergent has been sooooooo inexpensive. He then continued by saying, look at the bottle a little closer. We had been using the same bottle for such a long time now that I felt I knew every color, every letter, felt like a could describe the handle...
