Happy Birthday, Robin!!

Last night, Dot and I went over to Terre Haute to celebrate Robin's birthday. That's her in the picture with Mickey Mouse. We picked up Adam and drove over to Marshall. After giving Robin her gifts, we went to a Terre Haute theater and watched Lake House together. We concluded the evening at Denny's where all of us had a dish of Caramel Apple Crisp. The night was really fun!! I look forward to celebrating many more birthdays with Robin (mine and hers). She's my best friend forever. Love ya, Robin and Happy Birthday again and again!!

Yay and Yum!!!

The other day, I was very pleased to see one of my favorite places from Terre Haute show up here in Bloomington. I am referring to Square Donuts. This morning, Dot needed me to take her to work early at 6:30am so I stole the opportunity to go get some of these baked delights before the selection got small. I'm happy to report that these little gems are as delicious in Bloomington as they are in Terre Haute. Sorry, Terre Haute. You still don't have our prize gem of Cold Stone Creamery. Oh well, I've got more to do today including a possible trip to the Haute. See ya'll later.

A Week Without My Girl

This week, my girlfriend took off to spend a week and a half in CA with her brother. I have missed her so much everyday. I get her back Wednesday night. This Wednesday, however, my best friend, had me come and get her for a little vacation. Her brother graduated high school this week so she and I went to his baccalaureate service on Wednesday night. Then, she came home with me to Bloomington and stayed with me Wednesday and Thursday nights. Robin was like a breath of fresh air to a very long and tiring two days. I always have a blast when I'm with her. She and I tease each other like brother and sister.

I took her over to Nashville, IN on Thursday. We walked around the town visiting various shops and then ate at The Nashville House. We both tried apple butter for the first time. Our parents had been trying to get us to try it for some time and we'd been reluctant. It's pretty good actually. It reminded me of cinnamon applesauce. We also spent time in the mall here in Bloomington. By the time we got back to my apartment, we were both sore from all of the walking.

On Friday, I took her back home and we attended her brother's graduation ceremony. Marshall High is definitely smaller than my high school. It was still a very nice ceremony though. The band was really good and they had a really neat video production featuring the senior class.

Robin, thank you for making this week a little easier to take. Most importantly, Dot, thank you for being so understanding and trusting both Robin and I enough to be willing to have let us have this time together while you were away. I love you two ladies.
