A Very Merry Unbirthday to You!!!


Today is our first day of orientation. It is going swimmingly. The school is like one big, warm, cuddly family. Truly, everyone is so helpful and friendly it's almost surreal.

Yesterday was my 25th birthday and it was absolutely perfect. As you may know we are currently in the monsoon season. Jordon and I had planned on going on a birthday walk and maybe staging a few LOST photos in the jungle...but alas! a torrential downpour!

I couldn't have been more delighted. I was able to sit inside and read two books. Midway through my first book some of the first years came by to invite us on a shopping trip. Jordon dutifully went and took care of business.

Three hours of mad mental math later Jordon walked back through the door singing happy birthday and carrying a cake of chocolate heaven. Probably the chocolatiest thing in all of creation.

P.S. We are only able to use the internet at school at the moment. Up until today the principal had been logging us in so we were able to use facebook. As it turns out will will no longer have that priviledge until we get the internet at home. So...if you'd like to get a hold of us please reply on this or email us at melissaquattlebaum@gmail.com. We would love to hear from you!

I'm excited to see your staged LOST photos, whenever you do take them :)
