Mike surprised me with an early birthday present last night!:) Yay me! It was a floor jewelry box...with a beautiful hand painted reddish wood finish. I promptly filled it up with all my jewelry. :) Too bad it didn't fill it up! I guess that means I'll just have to get more jewelry :) :)
Mike also made dinner last night - Parmesan noodles, garlic bread, and pork loin. Yummy. It was nearly ready and waiting when I came home from the gym. Between that and the early gift, he was earning mucho brownie points!
I received some great news today. Two friends from Baghdad may be making St. Louis one of their destinations while on R&R in July. Even if it doesn't happen I'm happy they thought of us. Soo many people leave and are forgotten. I'm happy we've not fallen into that category! Plus, to dedicate a few days out of what could be for an exotic destination. :) I'm tickled. I really hope it happens... ;)
July sounds like it might be a busy month. I think we'll be heading to Knoxville for the Fourth of July too!
I coaxed my colleague to join me in one of the classes I attend at the gym. He did really good especially considering it is one of the hardest I participate in! I was impressed! I told him it was to make up for his lack of attendance in my class in Baghdad. ;) Speaking of which, it sounds like the kick boxing class is getting resuscitated. The troops are being called in. ;) yay.
I also contacted the old kick boxing instructor who I know owns a gym in the New England region to find out how one gets certified for instruction in the US...seems he may be able to certify me! Who knows - maybe I'll bring kick boxing to St. Louis. lol.
