Pumpkin pie in April

Yep! That's what's for dessert!

I like having things to celebrate, and today just happens to be
 Chris' half birthday! Neither of us have ever celebrated our half birthday before, but hey - it's never to late to start! To be honest, I thought about it two months ago, because I had a leftover can of pumpkin from Christmas, and it's Chris's favorite. So I figured out when his half birthday would be, and then put an alarm on my phone to go off a week before so I wouldn't forget! 

So. . . happy half birthday to Chris! We're celebrating with pumpkin pie, American Idol with Erik and Amanda, and planning for IB Economics (blehhh! complete sarcasm). That, everyone, is the unfortunate news about next year's teaching assignment for Chris. But because this is meant to be a happy and celebratory post, I won't utter the words again. They have the connotation of a four-letter word to me at this point.

But the pie. . .

The pie was good.

Sorry, the crust decided not to show up for this picture.

It will be Chris' motivation to get up early enough for breakfast tomorrow :)

American Idol was good too. 

It's fun to have an American connection, and watch it with friends on a weekly basis. 

{Philip is my favorite! I'd have his CD on repeat all day.}

Goodnight from Jakarta! 

annnnnnd. . . dummy of the year goes to me! just realized it's NOT Chris' half birthday after all -- it's next month. wow, that's embarrassing. don't make fun of me, because i'm being honest and posting this blog anyways! it just means we got to enjoy pie :)
