Happy 19th and 37th Birthdays, Nic and Jen!

As we arrived at Chillis, something was up with the guys trying to look cool!
We were mobbed by the Paparazzi (aka "Calvin") as we came out of the restroom.
Guess whose dinner this is? Betcha think it's Colin's, right? It's mine! I am SO not a steak person, but for some reason I felt like it, plus it came highly recommended by Nic. It was awesome, and I'd get it again any time!
Nic got the Quesadilla Explosion salad.
Pizza for Tameeka
Cheeseburger for Tiff, but she decided to share some of Tameeka's pizza.
Em and Dev shared a rack of ribs, and Ty got the cheeseburger.
I told Calvin I wanted to take his picture with the burger in it, so he made a Calvin burger. Colin got a cheeseburger with bacon and onion rings. YUM-O!
Extremely yummy choco shake for dessert!
Back home for gifts!
This book is by Nick Vujicic. He was born without arms or legs. We've seen him on Youtube videos before, and he is truly an inspirational person. Check out the link below, and grab some kleenex, cuz you'll need it!!



Thanks for the hat, honey! (it's going back to Wal-Mart)
Note from Em
I love this painting! Painter Liz Lemon Swindle (I saw her speak once and was fantastic!) went to Zambia so she could do some painting. Here's what is quoted on the back of this painting: "One of the first children I met was Kennedy, the little boy you see in the painting. At three years old he has lost both of his parents to AIDS and was found living alone with his six year old brother and ten year old sister. When I thought of those three children struggling to survive and the millions of others across Africa in similar circumstances, I felt an overwhelming hopelessness and said to myself, 'No amount of money can fix this.' Later that day while we were filming, Kennedy climbed into the arms of the man portraying the Savior. As I stood watching them, Kennedy turned towards me and our eyes met. At that moment I knew it wasn't hopeless. I realized that the Savior could fix not only the problems of Africa, but of the whole world...and we can be His hands to do it."
