Movies, a birthday, skating

This past week was a lot of fun. Amber had a great birthday, complete with dragon cake. She got some nice presents, books, games, a model rocket kit and some drawing supplies. We watched a couple of movies. They were both cute enough, fun but not great. The Steelers won on Saturday, somehow. And yesterday we went ice skating at Wheeling Park. I actually managed to stay on my feet the whole time. It's the first time I've been skating in like 20 years, but I really enjoyed it.

Sunday was our anniversary and we hadn't really planned on doing anything, but David got tickets from work for the Saturday Pitt-Rutgers game. It was my first, and probably only, time in Heinz Field and I have to admit that I enjoyed it. Of course, it helped that we were in a suite - comfy chairs, lots of room, free food, private bathroom. That's the way to see a game. I don't have any good pictures of the comfy seats we watched the game from, but needless to say they were much nicer than the seats I'm used to. We opened the window at the front since it was such a gorgeous day. This weekend was also the celebration of our church's 175th anniversary. We went to a covered dish Saturday, with a hymn sing and reminiscing, then Sunday was a really nice service. Amber had a part in it, representing the future of the church I guess. Here's a picture, thanks...
