BIRTHDAY WEEKEND part 2

So part 2 of our birthday weekend was Rusty's birthday joy...Blue Angels. He LOVES them and they just happened to be in the ATL for our celebratory weekend. We wanted to share this with the kids and our good friends. It was great!

THE BIG 4-0

I survived, actually loved every minute, of turning the big 4-0! Yes, I am 40, FORTY, 4x10, 5x8...And proud of it. Why?

Well, since January, I've been working to look like a Fabulous at 40! Rusty took me shopping for my birthday and it, lets just say, exceeded my expectations. I have surpassed (or underpassed) my goal clothing size and my goal waist. Woohoo!

A few days before my birthday, a friend advertised concert tickets to....(drum roll)...EAGLES! Whom I LOVE! I've been to one concert (David Lee Roth) in my entire life and I've not really hankered to spend the money to go to another. But I've thought, "If I were to go to a concert, I would want to go to the Eagles." They are classic. So another dream come true...Eagles at Piedmont Park. Yes there were LOT of older fans because they have been around F-o-r-e-v-e-r, but they are soooo good. As they were singing and talking about a couple of songs, I realized how fitting it was to be at this concert. The Eagles have been making music my ENTIRE life. Rusty wasn't anxious because of the age groupies, but he was more than supportive. We had a great time, which brings me to my next loving every minute of it birthday...

Rusty! We took the weekend off (from kids) for our celebratory birthdays (his is 6 days later). We have dear friends who helped us pull this off (thanks Nick & Laura). I just LOVE spending time with Rusty! We laugh lots, talk, and are best friends. We LOVE our kids. They are great, amazing, fun, and enrich our lives tremendously. However, we are preparing them to, ultimately, find a wonderful person and leave us. What will remain will be just Rusty and I. So we invest in us. Some may think we invest too much, but we truly adore one another. ;)

Wee Bit behind

with featuring our latest birthday boy, Asa! He's still so fun, 9 years later! He had a great birthday hauling in with some electronic snapits, skateboard, and of course some moolah. He wants to spend it on books. Who's kid is this? A first in our family that he is so excited to buy books at the book fair. He recently had the opportunity to go in an airplane ride because he had all As. He couldn't stop talking about it. Then last night, he had his 3rd grade annual performance, of which, he had a solo part. It was a line from Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious and He did AWESOME!
