Corey's 32nd Birthday!

0 comments Posted by The McMillins at 8:25 AM




Last Friday was Corey's 32nd Birthday. He had to work but Gretchen arranged for a friend to keep Zach so that when he came home all we had to do was get ready and go out, just to two of us. Unfortunately, he got out of work a little earlier than Gretchen expected and beat her home. She didn't tell him where she was until she got home. He asked where Zach was and she told him that he was with Kim and her 2 girls.

Gretchen was planning on taking him to a movie and dinner. We got ready and went to see "Bourne Ultimatum". We had just finished watching "Bourne Identity" and "Bourne Supremacy" the week before. We really wanted to see the sequel. We think "Bourne Ultimatum" is the best. It's probably one of the best movies we've seen in a while.

Corey wasn't real hungry after the movie and he missed Zach. So, we picked Zach up and went to Chik F'ila and went home. Zach had a card for him and we had a message cookie for him when we got home.

We've made it a tradition in our family that if someone's birthday falls on a Friday or Monday that we make it a "Birthday Weekend". So, Corey got spoiled all weekend..... not that he doesn't all the other weekends also. Sunday, we just spent time playing games together all day which was a lot of fun.

Promise Keepers

Gretchen's parents came down to see us last Thursday. They had a chance to look at some houses that they were interested in. They are "thinking" about moving down here in 2 to 5 years, after Gretchen's mom is able to retire. Then on Friday, Corey and Gretchen's Dad left to go to Promise Keepers.

As soon as the guys left for PK, Gretchen, her mom and Zach went shopping. They stopped and got milkshakes and rented a movie. They ordered in pizza while they watched a movie. Then, they all got in Gretchen's bed and went to sleep early. The next morning they went to Walmart to do some more shopping and get some donuts for breakfast.

The guys had a good time being by themselves, too. They had some really good talks to and from the Center. They had to drive 2 hours to where PK was. They went to the conference Friday evening and then back to the hotel where they stayed. They went back to the conference the following morning and then came home. They both had a REALLY good time together. Corey definitely wants to go back to PK with Gretchen's Dad again. We think Gretchen's Dad loves being called "Dad" by Corey.

It's always good to see Gretchen's parents but it's definitely especially good that they spoil us by taking us out to eat. Of course, we'll probably do that to Zach when he gets married too. :)
