- Celebrated Alex's 24th birthday. Delicious dinner at Outback, I made him get the biggest steak possible since I was paying. A homemade Frankenstein card, Horror Hound magazine and 40th anniversary Haunted Mansion glasses. Success I'd say :)
- Saw Zombieland with Alex. So good!
- Saw The Box with Alex. Not what I expected at all. But we thought it was great! We see ALOT of movies.
