TOTALLY RAD 30TH BIRTHDAY

So it was the most amazing bday weekend EVER! Work was STELLAR (they threw me a breakfast club party!), Then off to a clippers game that night. Which it rained, however the new stadium has a huge bar on the 2nd floor that over looks the field - so did some damage up there!

OH and Danny had my name on the big screen!
But the best part was that they screwed up and it said I was 29! haha!



THEN after too many shots, we get in the car and Im ready to puke. Somehow we ended up at the airport and JONI was there with a Tina Turner face cutout! I could NOT believe it. 1. I was a second away from throwing up (which I did later) and 2. i didnt know what was going on. The best surprise "operation punky brewtser" thanks to danny and joni.


The next day I surprisly did well and we shopped all over for extra 80's gear for our party. We found the most hideous backdrop for our "glamour shots" set up!

Finally the 30th party arrived. we had such a blast. Jessi and Josh got us an old school polariod camera even. We drank cheap beer, ate white castles, danced, and sang 80's kaeoke songs!!








I had to put Joni back on the plane today - so sad - vapors :( BUT danny pulled such a good one on me having her come! Was just unbelievable. LOVE YOU MY 20 SOMETHING HUSBAND. Well just till tomorrow - this party is still not over!

My Last day in my 20's

WOW! i dont feel 30 BUT when I think about when I was in my teens how FAR 30 was away - and its here! Crazy!

Ive had a great 29 years and 364 days - growing up i had lots of friends and lots of freedoms. high school I was lucky enough to attend a private school where I could be captains of tennis/lacrosse/basketballs teams and excell at whatever I put my mind to PLUS made great friendships. College I got to go to Boston University and enjoy lots of traveling with all the fun of the college life. Then moved to PHX and started a carrier as a graphic designer - 5 years later, met the man of my dreams and move back to my hometown to start a new life and get married!

I hear the 30's are great so bring it on!

best weekend yet

Spring is really here. In fact, we were warmer today than Phoenix was! It was a super weekend. the sun just set and Im sad - back to work tomorrow. BUT the forecast for next weekend is looking good!

FRIDAY: Red Sox yankees weekend so Parker had to wear her jersey...more like mom made her. After work, Danny and I rode our bikes to Old gahanna for some bar hoping - one of the things i love to do in the summer!

SATURDAY: we went and got some trees and shrubs. Danny had to plant like 5 trees! I weeded and played with the girl outside most of the day...without sunblock. whoops!

we did go out to dinner and watched the extra innings sox/yankees game with some people from boston. they were rad. a few brews and shots help danny and i not think about the burns. you should see dannys neck....talk about "red neck". we made a pitt stop at the ice cream shop on the way home.

SUNDAY: another perfect day. we hit the gym and grocery shopping early. laid out and watched baseball all day. OH and made some homemade salsa...the bomb!

tulips

I love tulips in the spring! And they are starting to bloom! Of course i had to take some pics. i should take a class....really love taking pictures now for some reason. Only the red tulips are opening - ive got pink and yellow/orange ones so I hope they open soon!

Can you see danny swinging his golf club?

So i decided to get fancy and take some shots with my engagement ring on the flowers - yes, I know Im cheesy! I didnt get any pics of my ring on my wedding day - forgot - so ive been playing.

easter day

Today had the most beautiful weather for an Easter I can ever remember. We got to enjoy the outdoors without a cloud in the sky!

Got the table all set - we still need matching chairs though!

House got a good cleaning too.

Parker enjoyed the day outside (some pals stopped by). Gus even got to hangout on the top deck - behind bars if course.

The ladies sat in the sun in the way back.

The 2nd Annual Corrigan Cornhole Memorial was not as official as years past but we had a good time - sans trophies.

The food was great, watched the masters and had banana splits for desert. yum. Hope your easter was good too!

lazy long weekend

Well having friday off b/c of all the hours during the week was nice but I worried all day about a few jobs that had to get out the door. i did however: mop the floors, clean the master, buy a new bikini (cozumel!), meet danny at work and eat chiptole, rent a movie & make dinner (nothing fancy).

Saturday was a cookout at Ginas which was so much fun BUT not as warm as we had hoped.

Ive always liked taking pictures and now Im trying to take cool shots...

JELLO SHOT TIME!

This is tiny - eventhough he looks huge:

We brought a beer mug candle. Dont get burned by the wax.

JELLO SHOT TIME - again!

Gina decides to wrestle danny.

Then she breastfeeds Tiny.

Today mom and I ate lunch outside at Old Bag of Nails - was great weather.
