30th Birthday

I'm 30 today! It feels good.

I had a party Friday night. It was a lot of fun. My parents let us use their house while they spent the night at our house with Eli. That was my first night to be away from Eli. It went well and I didn't worry very much either! Thank you so much mom and dad.

Bill Cosby and the Light Rail

Cesar surprised me with Bill Cosby tickets for our anniversary. We have been married 3 great years. Bill Cosby put on a good show! He talked for over 2 hours and was so funny! It was just him on the stage sitting next to a small table. He talked about cooks vs. chefs, marriage (he's been married 45 years), children, cutting down Christmas trees, Thanksgiving turkeys, and more.

We rode the Light Rail downtown. I love the light rail! I always have, I'm not sure why my fascination, but I'm jealous of Cesar because he gets to ride it to school all the time. I rode it to work sometimes when I worked downtown, but it had been a while since I was last on it.

I did something kind of stupid. I decided to not buy a ticket because they are so expensive. Round trip is $7. They rarely check for tickets, so I decided to gamble. Cesar doesn't have to pay because he is a student. Well, on the way home, I got caught! I still didn't have to pay which was my goal anyways. I got a warning and next time if I'm caught I will get a $51 ticket.

I'm not sure why the tickets are so expensive, but I think it is ridiculous, and if they want people to stop driving and use it, they need to lower the price!

Hand Surgery

A couple of months ago when Cesar was building a work table in the garage, he got a splinter. He came in the house and thought he got it out with the tweezers, but apparently he didn't. A week or so later his hand still hurt and then he realized there was still wood inside. You could actually feel the stick through his hand. After a couple of doctor's visits, he finally saw a hand specialist that was willing to get it out. They said if it was metal they could keep it in, but since it was wood it would be best to get it out because it could become infected after awhile. Now, his hand is almost completely healed!

Look closely and you can see him holding the piece of wood that came out of his hand. It's over an inch long!

Family Time

Saturday Cesar did not work and we spent some quality family time. It was great! It had been a while since we all went out and did something fun. Here are some pictures of the day. We started by going to story time at Barnes and Nobles, then ate outside at a restaurant, then spent time at the park. It was a lot of fun.
