My Birthday

Well my birthday was two weekends ago and I had a very nice day! Chris and Becky had spent the night, so Becky got Timmy up when he started crying at 7 and Tim and I were both able to sleep in until 10 o'clock! That made it a wonderful birthday right there! :) Once we got moving Tim, Timmy and I had brunch at The Cheesecake Factory (their monte christo is the best breakfast anywhere) and then went to Elena's to swim for a while. Oh, I went on a spending spree at Michael's that afternoon too, I had lots of coupons and am way behind on scrapbooking, it was a dangerous combination! That evening Elena and Al hosted a cookout at their house for me, and my mom and a few friends came over for dinner. To top it all off, Tim spoiled me with a Coach purse for my present!



This past weekend was the Vidnovic's annual Crabfeast that Sami and I use as our birthday party. It was a very yummy evening and I was so excited to see Natalie and Cavan again and also got to see Tanya for the first time in a while! I'm already looking forward to next year!!!

Mom's Big Birthday

Mom celebrated a big birthday this year and Dad and Joe both had to go out of town for the weekend, so I wanted to make sure that Mom had a full and fun day of celebration! I told her that Timmy and I were taking her to lunch, but I also invited my friend Sami and her mom, Kit, and my friend Nicole and her mom, Nancy as a little surprise, and we had a nice time together. After lunch Mom, Timmy and I wandered around the mall for a while before all taking a nap at her house.


That evening, Tim and Nicole met up with us and we all went to the Paul McCartney concert! It was SUCH a good show!!! He played a few new songs but lots of Beatles stuff which were my favorites! Paul came out in a Beatles-esque black suit and opened with "Drive my Car." A few songs in he took the jacket off and let us all know, "that was my big wardrobe change." He changed guitars every few songs, applauded/thanked/bowed to the audience after almost every song, and played for 2 1/2 hours straight! If this concert is coming to your area, go see it!


There's a good review of the concert here if you're interested!
