28 is Pretty Great!

Hooray! Today is Greg's 28th birthday, and we celebrated by rocking out to his new birthday present: Rock Band for the XBox 360. We started a band called the Obamanations. Greg plays the drums and I play the guitar. This evening we won a jet so we can now perform all over the world. Good times. Greg got to stay home from work today because he hasn't been feeling well--nor have I. We think he has the cold/flu bug (thankfully not the stomach flu), and I think I'm getting a cold. Playing Rock Band helped us both feel better. Then we had some yummy birthday pie. The only birthday candles I could find in Athens were called "sparkling candles" (complements of the Village Market). Yes, they sound dangerous, and when they started shooting off sparks like 4th of July sparklers, we figured it was time for Greg to blow them out. We like to live dangerously around here.

Today I got a call from the Abraham Lincoln Home. They said that I'm on the top of their list for both positions I applied for! I am going to meet with them tomorrow, so everyone keep your fingers crossed that I can get a job there. That would be a great place to work. I contemplated wearing my Abe Lincoln "Would I Lie to You?" t-shirt tomorrow, but Mom and I decided that might be a little much. I'll save that shirt for Lincoln's birthday next week.
