A baby shower, A night out and a funeral... What a week!

So this week (saturday through Thursday) has been a full one to say the least.

Aaron's cousin Rachael is due with our third to last baby due this calendar year... It's a girl and her name will be Amara Jordan Redford! We spent the better part of Saturday celebrating her and her mommy-to-be at her sister Nicole's house (in my old neighborhood). We had so much fun. Nicole did a fabulous job putting together the party. There were so many games to play and activities to participate in. My favorite was the "design your own onsie" with puff paint, I drew a stick figure balerina that had the title "dancing queen" underneeth it. I also enjoyed the baby food taste test, mostly because they had Banana's which is my favorite baby food....I know you think "gross" but I say "YUMMM!"

After that the girls and I went to The Tavern (where sister Katie works) and had a drink with Erin S.'s cousin who was in town for the weekend. We had a great time, finally found an awesome bartender there, who not only knew what St. Germaine was, but was able to locate it in the stock of liquors and pour me a glass! WOO HOO! (ok now you all think I am a lush, but fear not, I not that much of a drinker, I just know what I like!)

Tuesday brought us to the funeral aformentioned above. Cheryl is Aaron's brother's OT, and has become a member of our family over the past 16 years. Her husband of 39 years past away after several years of illness (unkown). It was a said event, as funerals usually are, but we were happy to celebrate his life with his family. Like my mom and step-dad he was also a Pac-Bell lifer!

After the funeral, Katie (S-I-L to be), Paul, Aaron and I went out for a final toast to Stu ala Irish Wake at the local wine bar. It was so nice to sit outside at 3:00 in the afternoon and dream about having a job in the town you live in, no commute, and a rightful happy hour (again I am not a lush...).

This weekend will bring us to Donner Lake for a family runion and one good time on a longboard skate board....more to come, so stay tuned!

Peace out!

Another Night Out

The other night we patronized The Rellik Tavern, a local pub that Katie, David and Davina work at. I must say at the opening of this place the only thing that impressed us was the venue. The service was less than adequate, the owners had no clue, and the place was, as many yelp authors put it, "full of cougars and douche bags". The cougars and douche bag thing hasn't changed, but our experience gets better and better with each visit...and maybe each drink! haha! This was just a little more than a "usual" night out...but we won't go there...will we?
