Kiwi and I
So, I went home for thanksgiving. It was great. It's been a long time since all three Bachman children have been home with momma and pappa. Grandma D came down for the day and Grandma and Grandpa B came down with Aunt Theresa for desserts. It was a lot of fun. Mom was amazed with the goofy picture taking of my new iMac, as you can see above. It was set up in my room and we spent a lot of time just making funny faces at the computer. Ben got in the action too.
The whole weekend really reminded me of how lucky I am to have an amazing family. It's becoming more and more rare to have a father and a mother who love you completely genuinely and I can proudly say that I do. And, I'm finally getting to the age that I feel like I'm not being looked down on by my grandparents. Not that they have ever been condescending, I'm just not being treated like a child. It's nice.
On a side note, Josh and I found the coolest little bar last night in Philadelphia. It's on the second floor of this Ethiopian restaurant right around the corner from us. The whole place couldn't have been bigger than our Kitchen! And they have live music almost every night. And they stock tons of good local, Philly beers. It was so much fun. There was a really edgy blues band there last night and Wednesday night is a jazz night. Should be fun. I'm definitely going back soon.
OK. We're going to watch an episode of Seinfeld and then it's off to bed. By the way, I got a promotion at work and I'll be changing to week mornings from (get this) 5am-1pm! That's crazy. But it's more money, it's regular hours, it's not weekends, and I'm in a shift manager position. Fun. Ok. Night friends.
