Friday night Gabe and I went to dinner with my friend Holley. We ate at Johnny Carino's and it amazes me how much Gabe can eat. I had already fed him dinner before we left, yet he still wanted to delight in my pasta.
Saturday I met with two friends to go over details in planning an upcoming wedding shower for our dear friend Laura Beth (LB). I am looking forward to this, and it's nice to break out my party planning skills. ha
Saturday afternoon, Gabe and I met Brooke and one of her friend's at the Exceptional Foundation for The Chili Cook Off. It was way crowded. I was a bit overwhelmed, and felt out of place. I promise I have seen all of those faces at Innisfree back in the day. And the girls were so dressed up. I'm like you are in a parking lot to eat chili...why are you wearing high heels? I hope I was never like that (although I probably was)....I am glad I am passed that stage. Move on, people.
After I wove Gabe's stroller in and out of the crowd, tried one super spicy chili recipe, and had a hotdog, we walked over to the park (Homewood Park). Brooke pushed Gabe in the baby swing- Gabe didn't look too enthused. ha He's very indifferent about a lot of things. I am interested to see how this will play out in his personality when he is older. It was a great day to be out and about and enjoy the weather.
Gabe was due for a nap, so we left, I rented two movies (Couples Retreat and The Time Traveler's Wife) and we went home.
Sunday was my bday....Here is a pic from my birthday last year....
Wow- that puts things in perspective huh? I am not a big birthday person, Gabe was out with his dad for a few hours, so I enjoyed a nice grocery shopping trip on my own. My friend Ty made me a strawberry cake....so I will look forward to eating the whole thing over the next few days. I am glad to be a year older. Everyone thinks I am younger than I am, and that bothers me....I have had several people make comments to me over the past few months....and I want to be like- Be quiet! I am 25! Maybe this is something I will apprectiate when I am older, but for now, I prefer to look my age.
Happy Birthday!!! It was so good to see you this weekend!
