Hello! Anybody out there?

I'm back?Maybe? No promises....but at least today I am back. So, what's been going on?

My Birthday - At the end of the summer, August 21 to be exact, Brett and I celebrated my birthday with a laid back but super fun today. Caribou Coffee, the French Market, a bike ride and a delicious dinner cooked on the grill summed up the day. Inside my card were two tickets to the sold out David Gray concert - Amazing!

Brett and I at the Jay Pritzer Pavilion in Millennium Park. What an amazing concert with an amazing city in the background!

My celebration didn't end there, but the girls and I partied hard to celebrate my last year in my 20s just like all 29 years old should....at the Raging Waves Water Park. The GREATEST!!!!!

Mom and Dad come to visit! Over Labor Day weekend, my mom and dad came for a visit. The visit did include Dad putting on a new roof with the help of some hired help from Craigslist. Yep - you read that correctly. The visit was so much fun - we drank a little wine at Tasting Devine and enjoyed the beautiful late summer weather at Cantigny Park.

The following weekend, September 10, we celebrate our 5 year anniversary! Being married to the love of my life = it doesn't get any better!

DMB - Brett's two favorite things in the world (besides me and the puppies) are the Cubs and Dave Matthews. Does it get any better than a Dave concert at Wrigley Field? Yes, actually it does...when there are TWO Dave concerts at Wrigley Field! We were lucky enough to get tickets to both shows and spent an awesome weekend in the city. It was like a vacation. Jason Mraz opened for Dave which was awesome! We also stayed at the Old Chicago Inn....if you ever need a quaint place to stay near Wrigley. This. Is. The. Place. The rooms were small, but it was just awesome. The innkeeper was too cute and made this stay just perfect!We ran in to Lauren Jiggetts from NBC and Brett HAD to have his picture taken with her.

So, that's about it....there have been lots of fun things going on...and more to come soon!
