Well it was Nick's 29th birthday last week...this is where I sing "Old Man River" in my deepest voice :) I made his favorite German Chocolate Cake. Thanks to Mom I was able to get the ingredients over the phone while I was on my way home, which saved me a lot of time because I always manage to do everything last minute, that's the Turner way no? It didn't look much like the picture in the cook book but it was absolutely amazing, Nick said it was the best he's ever had and I don't think he was just telling me that because he had to, it was really really really amazing. 
For a really long time I've heard Nick say that he wanted a game from his childhood, Rattle Me Bones the pirate game anyone remember it? Anyhow, I was able to track it down THANK YOU EBAY! Even though I ordered it over two weeks ago we just got it in the mail today while I was at work. Nick called and asked if he could open the "Mysterious box on the door step" and I could hear him opening it over the phone. Listening to him get all excited was the funniest thing I think I've heard in a long time and I quote "Alright that's mine!" Ah ha ha ha he was so excited, I'm glad I was able to find it for him I think it made his day.
Also, here is the picture of Nick on his first day of school in front of our door like Mom made us do, hilarious. I love it, he's got his school shirt on and his brand new backpack over the shoulder, way cool.
I got a little in the holiday spirit and put up some of the Christmas crap I have, still no tree yet I don't want to get it to early.
