Blow the Candles Out...

I have a buddy named Zack. This is why we are friends:



Background: This was the second to last night Zack was in town before he left to Europe for one month to a year. We basically spent the whole day with our nabes. After church, we had a movie nap (all the nabes), Angel Erica made us an amazing Austrian meal, we hung out with Claire and Annie and Heather while the sky made the most amazing sunset ever and then we went in to Heather's house and played "Power Out." And THAT is when Zack unlocked the melody locked deep inside.

It also won me this:


That's right, Two Peas in a Pod salt and pepper shakers. Don't hate. If you're lucky, you might be getting a set just like it for your wedding...that is, if you invite me.

I've certainly come a long way since my humiliating defeat in front of the entire first grade student body with the word "tie." How was I supposed to know a necktie was spelled the same as tie your shoes?
