My Birthday

This week we celebrated my birthday. Kurt bought me a mill grinder. I am so excited! I have been making our bread for the past year for us to eat. But, I had to grind the wheat by hand and it took me a couple of hours. I usually watched a movie or did some reading while grinding. It says that it will do 20 cups in 5 minutes. We are going to test it out this weekend. I also bought with birthday money a tortilla press to learn how to make homemade tortillas and I am looking at a mirror to go in my living room.
We decided for dinner to try out The Melting Pot. It was so good but a little bit more than we were planning on spending. It was a once (maybe twice if I am lucky) in a lifetime experience. I actually have a fondue pot but never really knew what to do besides just frying in oil. Now I have lots of ideas that we can do at home. Jake was so sweet all day long. He told me in the morning that he was going to try really hard to be good and not whine or complain for my birthday. And he gave me so many hugs and kisses all day. My gift from Josh was a really long nap that he took in the afternoon. I had a great day!
