I just wanted to let you all know about my friend, Nile who was instrumental in turning me onto blogging. He seems to be quite a bit more fluent a writer than myself but then maybe he has more interesting experiences to share.

Mine? Well, they are so personal I can't share all the details but here are a few of them: Maria and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend together. We took everything off our schedule from Friday night when I took her out to eat and to see Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow until Sunday evening when we got together with a couple of friends to eat, talk, play and celebrate his latest birthday.

I've never felt more in love with my wife. It was a wonderful weekend we had especially set aside for each other in celebration of our first year of marriage. Yes, we are running about a month behind but since I've been unemployed we have to make the most of each opportunity.

NOTE: I got her two dozen roses and took her out to dinner on the day of our anniversary so I'm not a slacker or a procrastinator! We also shared an anniversary dinner together with another couple of friends that were married the week before us. He joined us for our ceremony and was one of my grooms men during his honeymoon.

Watching movies (not TV!) and cuddling together is one of our favorite things to do: We watched Pride and Prejudice (Yes, the 5 hour A&E version!) on Saturday evening until the early morning hours. On Sunday we watched the The Gospel of John, (the movie).

Taken word for word directly from "Good News" version of the bible it is an amazing portrayal of the life, death, and resurrection of the Christ. In my own humble opinion it is a better movie than either the Jesus Film (which similarly is taken from the book of Luke) and even the more recently released and widely acclaimed The Passion of the Christ directed by Mel Gibson.
