Quite a week, and its only Tuesday!

I am truly relieved to have this silly deck project behind me! We put in the final pieces today, lay down on the deck, and zoned for a few minutes. Never. Again. Until we have to rebuild the deck my our other entrance, so maybe next year. Sigh. Of course we still need to sand thing whole thing down and clear coat it, but frankly, if that doesn’t all happen immediately, I’m fine with it! The pressure of the deck is off. I can breathe.

Earlier today, we went into the city and had a really nice time! We had to pick up some groceries and gifts and such for the upcoming weekend, as my parents celebrate their birthdays on the 9th and 11th of August. For the first time in my life, I am so excited to cook and bake and contribute to birthday parties. I haven’t been a very good sister or daughter for very long, so doing things like making my mom’s birthday supper is new and exciting and a little scary. But mostly exciting 🙂 I love all the preparation for it anyway, how hard can the cooking part really be?

After such a nice day, I couldn’t be more excited for the concert tomorrow! The exhibition is in town and with that comes a concert that I’ve waited for since last summer. I was super pregnant then and we had to sit waaay up in the bleachers…

Not this year. This year, I will be in the crowd with all the ditzy fourteen year old girls, screaming and jumping and trying to touch the lead singer because he’s sooooo hot! No, people, I will not be throwing my bra onstage. Who does that?!?!
