A Young Wife’s Tale

Brother #3 is back in Dallas. We had a great time while he was here. We decided that Pat’s on 9th Street in Philly really is the “King of Steaks”. David had someone to play video games with, and we all got to try “water ice” which is kind of like a slush.

David’s father got to come visit us. He was headed to New York on business. He arrived Wednesday afternoon, and we had a great time visiting over dinner. It was so nice to see some family.

The next morning David got up early and went to the Apple Store to get the Iphone 4. FIL and I got up later, and went to meet him for breakfast. If you were anywhere near an Apple Store Wednesday, you probably understand why we had to go eat breakfast without him. The line was insane.

Brother #3 turns 18 today! As a 4 year old, Brother #3 could pick me up. I was the same size then as I am now. He’s a tough guy. A few summers I watched him a couple of hours a week while my mother was working. I’d read the Chronicles of Narnia to him [...]

*Recently I was working at my part time job at the law firm. I was at the front desk and a solicitor came in and gave me his business card. He started giving me the whole sales pitch. He was talking quickly, people were walking by and the phones were ringing. I managed to catch a few words here and there, including “server” and “process”.

Being the geek that I am, I told him, “Ok, thanks, I’ll give Stephanie your business card.” Stephanie handles a lot of our computer issues. Since I’d heard those two key words, naturally I thought he was a computer guy. Nope. He was a “process server”. The guys that hands folks papers and says, “You’ve been served.”

Lesson Learned: I work for a law firm, I have no legal experience, and I need to watch more Law & Order.

We received so many lovely, thoughtful gifts for Christmas. Here are a few highlights.
