June - A little of everything

This past week I went to Salina and went to the Jewel concert with Mom and Mike.  She was a great performer, it was just her and her guitar.  Saturday we drove around moms new land, which has some missile silos on it from the cold war...pretty cool. 

Currently, Bryan is in the process of staining our deck.  He is staining it a very dark color that should look really good with our house color.  Unfortunately the weather has not been cooperating so it is taking a little longer than expected.  And, no I have not helped with this project, this is all Bryan. :)

On a health note, Bryan and I ate at Chili's yesterday for lunch and I got a horrible surprise after I got back to work....FOOD POISONING! It was awful.  I, at least left work just in time, by the time I got into the parking lot it really hit me.  I am hoping no one was around that I know, otherwise they might have some  very embarrassing photos of me hurling in the parking lot....So, I was pretty much praying to the porcelain gods from 2:00 - 6:30pm = not fun.  Finally around 6:30, I was able to move from the bathroom floor and lay on the bed.  Today I am feeling much better, but I thought my body needed to recuperate so I stayed home from work.  While around the house Bryan noticed a baby bird on our front steps, which I assume it's a baby cardinal since a male and female cardinal were  in the tree above it.

I almost forgot my 28th birthday weekend celebrations!

The weekend of my birthday, Bryan and I finally did a tour of the Boulevard Brewery.  We had a good time and it was even better with samples of Beer at the end of the tour. Following the Brewery we had an early dinner at La Bodega and went to a movie with some of his friends.  And, in following with the tradition of the June birthday BBQ (Josh, Randy, and my birthday) we BBQ'd Sunday night. I made the usual German Chocolate Cake, since it is my favorite, and to go with it, homemade coconut ice-cream...Simply Delicious! On my actual birthday Bryan made me grilled chicken stuffed with cheese wrapped in bacon...Yum! :)

And we spent some time at the Perkins', on my actual birthday, sitting around their new chiminea drinking some wine and beer.
