A few updates in the life of he
The Florida Golf Tournament was a success and he came home to report that Henry (his baby nephew) would not let him out of his sight the entire trip! So cute.
Mike's birthday was a few days ago, May 8th, and he got some pretty impressive gifts...
A mini photo shoot with his bff Miles.
A worm farm
A week ago we welcomed 1 pound of new pets into our place.
OK, it's not a worm farm (he hates it when i call it a 'worm farm' even though that's what it is)... it's actually an in-home food compost. It does not smell and produces lush black soil perfect for plants in and around the house.
These worms are actually pretty amazing! They are a special kind of worm that metabolizes food quickly. Here we are at the worm workshop:
First you have to set up the bin:
These worms LOVE paper, cardboard, food scraps from veggies and fruits. They have some dietary limitations (meat, oils, garlic and onions) but not many.
Then you get to open the bag and say hello to your new little friends!
Next you ever so carefully pour the worms into the bin to begin their new life!
Feeding the worms is an important job, and the more chopped up the food... the better! They also don't mind if the food is spoiled. 
For now, the worms are getting adjusted to their new home, in our home. They are eating and eating and making some new worms, then eating and pooping lush black soil. I will update more on the worms at a later date.
Mike ALSO had a really nice birthday party that was hosted by our pals Allen and Paris. What a fun party! We had some delicious drinks, great company and one very impressive cake!!
A martini cake for the "Mad Men" inspired martini party. The martini was flavored with coconut and passion fruit and the olives were chocolate and raspberry!! YUM!!
Finally... As an early birthday gift, a few weeks ago, I found a beautiful road bike on Craigslist and once we checked it out... we were sold! It is a really beautiful bike. Since he got the bike we have both been riding together like crazy!!
It is only a 7.5 mile bike ride from here to downtown Chicago!
Unfortunately, on Monday Mike's bike was stolen from campus! It was locked and parked in front of the library and around 1 pm some creep stole his bike. We are both devastated. He really enjoyed that bike and I loved that he enjoyed it so much! So we are mourning the loss of the bike and the limited time we had to enjoy it.
Over all, I think turning 29 was a real success for Mike!
Happy Birthday to the sweet man I'm going to marry some day!!

What a cool guy! I love this.
ReplyDeleteNow, what would Marshall say about the "CREEP" judgement word? The bike taker was feeling that his need for cash to not go into withdrawal (need for body stability) was greater than Mikes need to protect his belongings?
