Jacqui's Birthday Week Part 2
This is a continuation of Jacqui's Birthday Week. We left off with a DVD and Chocolates on Tuesday so what did Wednesday Bring?
Wednesday September 13th
Today brought 2 bottles of Icewine...Yum...icewine We drank a bottle of it on Thursday for Jacqui's birthday supper and this is like drinking nectar, simply wonderful. Each bottle is 50ML so you drink it slowly. You don't need a lot to enjoy it.
Later we went over to her parent's and had birthday cake with my Grandma's, and both our parents and my cousin Casja came too.
Jacqui got the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire game for our Nintendo Gamecube from my parents and money from the grandma's. Her mom and dad (well her mom picked it out but he got his name on the card) got a lot of different things for her ranging for perfume to a pill timer to a Su Doku hand held game. what a haul...
Thursday September 14th - Jacqui's 24th Birthday!
Jacqui's actual birthday finally arrived and she had to wait till I got home from work. When I changed out of my work clothes she got a Tetris DS Game for the Nintendo DS. Jacqui loves Tetris and I know that she will play this game for many hours.
We had a wonderful supper at home with our Teryaki Chicken and rice and we had some chocolates and drank our icewine. What a wonderful end for Jacqui's birthday week.

Jacqui's Birthday Week
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Yes my lovely wife Jacqui is going to be 24 on Thursday the 14th. To celebrate her birthday I didn't want to just have her birthday on Thursday but to go wild and give her a birthday week with some special gifts though the days leading up to her Birthday.
Monday September 11th:
I was running late at work so I would be delayed in coming home...it was only a few minutes but I took the excuse and bought Jacqui two dozen roses for her 24th birthday...My dad days that when she is 50 I should give her a picture of 50 roses.
Tuesday September 12th
Today I told Jacqui that I was going to be late and I came home with some other gifts...We have been out of town a lot and this was the only chance I've had in months to buy her a birthday gift. It was a quick trip but I knew exactly what I wanted to get her...
The DVD of Empire Records. Jacqui had this on VHS but she watched it so many times that it wouldn't rewind less you sped it to the end and then forced the VCR to rewind it....DVD's don't have that problem.
Today was also 24 chocolates................ok 27 chocolates but that was because they didn't sell boxes of 24...3 chocolates for me then! Why did Jacqui get two in one day? Well she was saying that she would really love something sweet like chocolate and I had the box all wrapped up in my bag...so she got it early.
What tomorrow will being you'll just have to wait and find out.

New Contract, Old Job
Well Tuesday September 5th came and it meant that I got to start my new one year contract. I'm still working wit hthe same company but instead of spending every weekend working I'm now working Monday to Friday and it is more bankers hours then late night or early morning hours.
The nice part about working Monday to Friday with GDML is that I now have my own car to drive around. I'll spend the next year driving this car...I think I'll call her Emma (Come on Emma...Did you get the simpsons' quote there) but I'm still thinking about it. Below is a pic of the car...Wow a 2004 Ford Focus Wagon. This one is a middle of the road one as it has power mirrors and heated seats. No power windows or adjustable steering wheel but oh well, the heated seats will be nice this winter.
The car was really dirty when I got it because quite a few different people were driving it and you always seem to take better care of a car when you are the only one driving it. It is sitll kinda dirty but I socked it down with soap then I got a STAT call so I had to do a quick rinse off and then go pick up the STAT. Oh well, it'll happen.
I'll write more about my first week and about the long weekend but I have to get up and go to work tomorrow then we're off to the lake again.
Oh Zack, I hope your foot gets better ( see his blog, link on the right)
