Hey,

So before I begin I will warn you that this is most likely going to be my second to last post. It has been wonderful sharing my adventures with you, and I thank you for reading them from time to time and leaving the occasional comment.

Now last friday began a three day birthday celebration for my 18th. Aerin took me to the only resturaunt in town that serves sushi. While the main course wasn't all that great the sushi was fantastic and it was even prepared by a real japanese guy. It was a nice quite evening and a great way to start things off. The next day I helped Aerin to bake the peanut butter pie which is the customary dessert for my birthday. I didn't really expect anything else to happen that day until we went out to our favorite resturaunt but the house surprised me with balloons and lights and a present that they had put together for me. Then we headed over to Quincy's and because the drinking age is 18 here, I had a birthday beer and our favorite bartender prepared me his favorite cocktail, a Blue Lagoon. We then went out to a late movie. The next day we went down to Durban to see a KZN Sharks Match, (one of the best Rugby teams in the world.) It was a great game despite the fact that they lost 13-10. Needless to say Rugby is a very exciting sport.

Sunday we kicked around the beach in Durban for a while before heading home.

Since the weekend I have helped Aerin at work one day, played about 6 games of risk, watched some movies, gone to the mall, been to quiz night at Quincy's and that is about it. There was also booking my plane home, drawing and making a trip to the spar.

So that is all for now. Be sure to read my last post because its going to be special and I think interesting for you as well. Bye for now.

Hi Cullen, So we're all thinking of you and enjoying your blogs. Sounds like you had a great B'day and that being goalie is your thing. We'll look forward to the pictures when you get home. The lilacs are out in perfect time for the festival. Spring storms are marching through on a regular basis, however. Life goes on in our "recovery" phase. We hope Barak can keep up the pace of good will and positive policy positions. We'll be interested to hear how your South African colleagues feel about the US and finally having a great leader who happens to be black. We'll wish your mom a happy Mother's Day for you tomorrow. She was one of the Elders who "Layed" her hands on Leah as she was ordained as a Youth Elder last week. The final TPC Youth Group bash will be May 17 - the last for your class of kids. Always in our thoughts and prayers,
Love,
Ann for the McMould Family
