Yesterday was Eric's 23rd birthday! We celebrated by having a leg of lamb, spanikopita, and a delicious cake all made by yours truely. Well, it did not turn out quite as plan because I over-grilled the lamb, and put too much milk in the cake filling so the cake layers were sliding around like Washington drivers in the snow. Oh well. We had fun with family and friends, as Molly is home from UW for Christmas break, and Mitch and Emily are down from Bellingham for their Christmas break too. Eric's celebration continues on Friday (we are spending the night in downtown Portland and going out for a nice dinner), and Saturday, when all of us 21-and overs are going out! Sorry Mols.
Eric is at his new Starbucks, out of training and officially an Assistant Store Manager. He is enjoying his job there, and working hours that pretty much line up with mine (lots of morning shifts) so we see each other a lot! He obviously will be working around Christmas, but he does have Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off of work. That is where I have him beat--Christmas break for us starts tomorrow when school gets out! Yay! I am going to Goldendale Sunday to visit my aunt and her family for a few days, then I will be back next Wednesday to prepare for Christmas. Luckily we have finished most of our Christmas shopping for the season.
The newest news is that we are renting a house at the end of December! We have been living with Patti, Eric's mom, since the end of October (me since September!) saving money and trying to find the perfect place! So after seeing many apartments and different places (and even applying for one and it not working out), we found the PERFECT house. It is in the Lincoln neighborhood in Vancouver, close to downtown. It has a small backyard, 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, cute colors on the inside. We are so excited to move our stuff in! We move in the 28th or 29th of December, so we should be in for New Year's Eve.
