A Weekend of Celebrations

Well goodness my, lot of happy moments over the weekend.  First off, Matt's birthday!  He was elated to finally open his gifts after patiently waiting all day!  We celebrated by going out to dinner and we had a small party afterwards that included cake, ice cream and opening presents.  He got some new flavors of beer for his brew kit, a big box of cookies, and some mula to spend however he would like.  :)  There will be more parties for him once we get to CA in a couple of weeks, so Matt does not hesitate to remind me that the entire month of May is now officially his birthday month.  :)

We had such lovely plans for fun throughout the weekend.  It would have included going to the movies, visiting a retro candy store I recently discovered and visiting Ann Arbor for a cheese tour and Artisan Fair.  But alas, we decided to poop out and be bums the entire weekend.  I'm much better but am easily coerced into relaxing and since Matt is between business trips, his perfect weekend was to hang low.

We did have some great conversations with our moms - Happy Mother's Day to all our special moms out there (you too, Grandma!)  Sounds like they all had a nice day and we can't wait to see you soon.  :)

Today starts the first day of Matt's "business trip."  I put the quotes in bold for additional affect of how loosely this term should be used.  Whereas Matt will be gone until Friday, Matt has been told that he is off to a work retreat so he can learn to better himself overall.  HOWEVER, I just heard from him this morning and he said that he'll need to stop by the apartment before he leaves for the retreat because he heard there is a golf course up there and he needs his clubs.  I've also heard there is unlimited, FREE alcohol and gourmet meals all weekend.  Um, yeah, I don't think that is called a business trip, do you!?  Sounds more like a vacation!  Lucky DOG!!!!  Ah, he deserves it - but he sure has been getting a lot of things he deserves hasn't he!?!?  :)
