Birthday and other updates

So as I said in my last post, Herman surprised me with a day early birthday party with some long time family friends. The day of my birthday was rather uneventful, and Friday night we went to my staff christmas party. (We moved the spa overnight to Saturday-> Sunday)

The staff party was interesting. It was the first one we had been to, and it wasn't quite what I was expecting. Some friends and I went to the local watering hole before the dinner, and they got competely trashed. I also had some to drink, but they got wild and loud. It was interesting to watch.

Saturday morning we had our spa appointments. Herman got a facial, and I had both a whole body massage, and a facial. I felt so pampered. It was the perfect relaxing present. After our spa time, we drove around to look at Christmas tree farms. We drove all over the country and saw so much of Oregon's pretty nature.

We returned to the hotel for our overnight stay, complete with free movie admission.

Sunday we went down to Salem to look at houses once again for the people from Florida. We saw many properties, but because of some fallout due to huge miscommunications, we decided that we weren't going to continue going down there for them.

This week was fairly tame, with me teaching and subbing, and Herman working.

Today we get our Christmas tree! I'm so excited!
