End of July - 2008

Hello. Well, I wrote my first blog then things got a little crazy. As many of you know, my grandfather passes away a few weeks ago. It was completely expected, but still hard when it happens. That kind of threw a loop in my schedule and caused me to be out of town for a week. It was nice spending time with family, but it was a little long. I also ended up spending my 30th birthday in Madison, Wisconsin - it was the day after the funeral. I didn't want to fly home on my birthday!!

I'm not sure if they are necessarily "stay-cation" activities, but I did experience a new place....The VooDoo Lounge at Harrah's Casino. My friend Ashley threw me one of the best VIP parties ever for my 30th birthday! I have never had more fun! I had a bunch of friends come and even my brother drove in from St Louis! I had a great time!!! My co-workers also had a lunch for me the following week to celebrate and they had a cake with my business picture on it! It was so cute! (When I figure out how to attach pictures, I'll attach it!)

I plan on getting back on my stay-cation activities soon. I have a few things planned in August. It helps that my cousin will be in town from New Jersey and I want to show her around! I already have plans to take her to the College Basketball Experience & the Boulevard Tour. I'm sure we will go other places as well!! She's never been here!

Hope everyone is having a great summer...I can't believe it's almost August!

oh, and today's is Abby's 2nd birthday! :)
