and what a weekend it was...

First and foremost, Happy Birthday Ethan!!
My baby brother, the little boy that I remember holding and feeding and occasionally torturing (hey, what's a big sis to do)... turns 18 years old today! I can't believe it.

Isn't he a handsome guy. And now a legal adult... scary. ;-)
Personally, I don't feel like I should be old enough to remember things that happened 18 years ago... but I remember the day he was born like it was yesterday. It was one of the most amazing things I'd ever seen/experienced. He was so small, so helpless. I can't believe how time has flown.


I love my little bro... he really is turning into a great guy.

In other birthday news, today is also my Grandmother's birthday (Love you Gram!), and last week I missed a few... Happy Birthday to my Grandpa! (last Monday) and Willy! (last Wednesday) and my cousin Brendan! (Sunday the 27th) and our friend Tucchi! (this past Sunday). While I'm at it I might as well also send out birthday wishes to our buddy Phil... who celebrates on Wednesday... Happy Birthday Phil!


So! Super Bowl weekend! Did y'all have fun? We did!
Trav and I headed to Ro & Pat's around one for tons of food (gumbo and pizza and cheese and wings and jalapeno poppers to name a few!) and some hanging out. We played video games and talked to kill time until the game started. Is it just me, or is it a pain in the ass how late they start the game?! I mean, we all have to work today... ugh.

But anyway, it was a good time... the game was one of the best, most low-scoring Super Bowls I've seen in a long time. It had you on your seat until, literally, the last second. That's the kind of game it should be. And while I don't particularly like Eli, and honestly before the game thought that he was a little too wet behind the ears to deserve a win like this... well after that last drive (broken tackle, great throws, etc), you can't doubt that he deserved the win!


Anywho, now its back to work like normal. Jan is back today, and will be here most of the week, but Thursday she'll return to Florida where her dad is being moved back to their condo. They want him to have his last days in the comfort of his own home. Prayers to her still please.

As for me, back to work!


ps. My hubby is the best... he surprised me with a box of lemonades to take to work. :-) What a good man.
