I had an awesome birthday weekend spending time with family and friends. We started out the weekend with a dinner at Cheesecake factory. My mom had never been and she was dying to go so she was more than happy to take me there for my birthday. Robert surprised me and invited our friends to come along too. It's always great to get together with our family and friends. After dinner, we headed to the Barons game. I've never been to the stadium (because I have no desire to go to that part of town) but it was Star Wars night and Bryson is obsessed with Star Wars so we had to take him. Before having Bryson, my birthdays were spent with my friends, staying up late and doing whatever we wanted to. Now, I would rather spend my birthday with my family, doing whatever makes them happy. Bryson had a blast! He was so happy the whole night and that's the best birthday present I could ask for. We didn't really watch much of the game because we honestly could care less about the Barons baseball team so we just walked around all night looking for all the Star Wars characters. I was so surprised at how awesome the costumes were. They were definitely the real deal. After the game was over, they had a huge fireworks show that was set to the music from Star Wars. Sadly the fireworks were too loud to hear the music, but the fireworks were pretty awesome.
On Sunday, we had dinner with Robert's family. We ate at Nino's in Pelham. I've been craving some New York style pizza and this was the closest place I could find that had it. It was pretty good, but still not the real thing. My birthday fell on a Monday this year; the first day of school. I never have worked/went to school on my birthday. It's one of the perks of having a summer birthday but now that schools start back way too early, it seems like it always starts around my birthday. Since I've never worked on my birthday, I took the day off. It was so nice spending the day with Bryson. We started off our day by watching The Price is Right. Bryson is always asking to watch it and since we work during the day it's like a treat for him to get to watch it when we are home. Then we had a lunch at Little Italy here in Helena. I was so excited to eat pizza but was disappointed this trip. After lunch we enjoyed a little shopping, a trip to Starbucks and an oil change. It was a nice relaxing day.
