Happy Birthdy to Me

This last week I turned 29. Wow! Doesn't really feel like it, but when I think about it, I can't believe I will be 30 so soon. It was really a week long celebration this year. My Mom came into town the weekend before to play and get some things done around the house. She is seriously a miracle worker, we got so much done! It was so fun to have her here and so great to have so many things on my "To Do" list around the house complete. I'll have to post pictures of our projects soon.
On Wednesday, Peter and I went to Chevy's for dinner. I just love that place and was having major chips and salsa cravings. Later that night Peter made a funfetti cake and invited his family over for the cake and ice cream part of the celebration.

Yes, I colored my hair. And no, it wasn't for Halloween!


Then this last weekend Peter and I, with some friends, Chris and Leigh, headed down to Williamsburg to go to Busch Gardens. We had free tickets and it was a perfect time of year to go. The leaves are gorgeous down there and they have haunted houses and Halloween type things all around. It always amazes me how fun it is to go on roller coaster rides. We were like little children and would keep running to the front of the line again to ride the rides over and over again because the lines were so good. Minus the 5 bee stings I got when a wasp flew down my shirt on a ride, it was a fabulous day! I seriously wish we went to amusement parks more often, all the day to day responsibilities and worries just fly out the window. (I'll have to post pictures later.)

Miss you.

Happy late birthday! Mmm Chevy's chips and salsa, I miss that!

I am so jealous that you got to go to Busch Gardens. We are going down to Colonial Williamsburg in a couple of weeks, but won't go to BG because it would depress me too much not to be able to ride the rides. Glad you had such a fun birthday week!
