What a weekend!

I left work at noon on Thursday. DH and I were heading to his first Jimmy Buffett concert. We checked into our hotel and were very happy with the room! We spent more on the room than we did the concert tickets so it was great that our room was so nice. We headed out to go and get some dinner on our way to the concert. Not one restaurant was to be found. Lucklly they had plenty of food at the Park. We parked and DH went to see what they had to eat. He came back and we realized we forgot to bring lawnchairs to "tailgate" before the concert. So I sat on the open trunk and he stood most of the time as we talked to a nice couple parked next to us. DH hubby enjoyed his first Parrothead experience and now is ready to go again next year!

The rest of the weekend was the usual watching Cubs games and Nascar. Sunday was my sisters birthday party. DH and boys went to work I picked up lil dude from his mom and we headed to the afternoon swim party. Before the food was ready my sister had eveyone head outside.... she had something to say. She said that if anyone had told her last year on her birthday everything that was to happen in the next year she would've thought they were on drugs! She said we had all been invited to for a reason. But the reason won't be here until MARCH! SHE IS PREGNANT!! I about fell out of my chair. My brother in law had a vasectomy when Sara was little....I guess he had it reversed in April and they had been trying ever since. Didn't take them long!!! Everyone in the family is thrilled. After all the heartache they have gone thru losing Sara this was a wonderful surprise. I'm sure Sara is looking down and thrilled for her mom and dad. She always wanted to be a big sister! Our family really needed this kind of news. I'm thrilled this is possibly the best gift we all could be given. Happy birthday lil sis!

Summer break is over.

My lovely Frankenstein boot is now a thing of the past! My new air cast (below) is the replacement.

I started getting used to having the afternoon off - sit in the recliner and knit. I went to the doctor today and she wants me to slowly start walking without the crutches and with the air cast I can actually wear shoes! I just hope my walking is good enough for the Jimmy Buffet concert next week. I survived both of my feet swelling to twice normal size last year at Daytona!! I think I can make this one...slowly. I will just have a margarita and I won't think about it :)
