So, one of our friends told us about an arcade called Nicklemania where all the games are 5¢ to $1 and it just happens to be just a mile from our house! Good, cheap, reminiscent fun.

So today was a different day at work. A baby hawk (2 foot tall and still a baby!) who was nesting on top of our building fell off the roof. he couldn't fly so he was just sitting on the sidewalk outside our office. Someone captured him with a blanket and cardboard box and take him to a bird sanctuary. It was a good distraction to break up the work day.

They delivered our couch today in typical Ikea fashion: in 6 big boxes. It was a chore to put together, but now we have real furniture!

We went to Ikea for fun after work today, thought we would get a lamp or a rug or something. Instead, we bought a couch!

I survived my first tornado! Trey has seen plenty, growing up in East Texas and all, but it was new to me. We locked the cats in the closet with us, covered up with blankets and waited until the sirens stopped.

Cayla and Kaleo took us out to Magic Time Machine for Trey's birthday. It was dark and he was embarrassed so the picture didn't turn out all that great. Happy birthday, Trey!!!!
