Labor Day Weekend

Hi all,

what a three day weekend! Of course it was not long enough, IMHO.

Friday night, we went out to Rockford's Waterfront festival with our friends Ben & Kim. It was a perfect night to be out walking. Saw Mongtomery Gentry.....yeah, Kim was desperate to see them (him?). They were okay, we arrived just in time to hear their last two encores. We were also pre-celebrating Ben's birthday (which is TODAY), so JOhn and him proceeded to imbibe :)

Saturday was my bridal shower from the library. I am lucky to have so many friends! The party was great, there was tons of food and Darcy did a great job. Afterwards, we stayed up to watch Into the Blue with Paul Walker. Surprisingly it was a good movie. (not a Paul Walker fan but John is a Jessica Alba fan-big surprise)

Sunday was a very fun and relaxing day. It was John's dad's 60th birthday so we went up to their home for a birthday cookout. Can I just say that for a 60 year old man, he kicks butt when it comes to playing volleyball! He ran me over a couple of times and I actually found out how grass tastes ;) Just like salad. I found out a couple things from my future in-laws that I probably didn't need to see. YOU know who you are, but it was great.

Monday was a big shopping day! I went shopping with my mom and second mom (my aunt). We went all over! And I must tell you guys abou my deal of the day. I bought a pair of red strappy COLE HAAN shoes for.....$30 at Marshalls! For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about. Cole Haan retails for roughtly $130-$200 depending on the shoe-yea. Woot woot! Holla!

Okay enough ramblin'. I would love to hear about your Labor Day weekend!
