Catching up

Wow, what a week!

I had a wonderful 30th birthday. My family and friends made it so special. Hudson loved it. He thought it was hilarious to tell me I am old and to sing "happy birthday" for 24 hours. I was so spoiled and loved all the family time. Jonathan and I escaped on a date and I am now completely obsessed with Mura. It is the yummiest place ever! I got some amazing jewelry. I had to laugh becuase the watch I have begged for the past 3 years on every holiday has still not found its way to my arm. I think it is now a running joke because Jonathan laughs too about it. But I LOVE my new jewelry and I am so proud of the boys for picking it out themselves.

Friday we had a gigantic black snake in our carport. I was walking out to grab something from the storage closet and let out a blood curling scream. It must have scared the anaconda because he wrapped himself around a bush beside the colums and then crept off. I ran in to get my phone and call Jonathan to come kill it.

I can honestly say that for the rest of the day I was on edge. I made Jonathan come home from work to look for it. I had goosebumps all day, I did not let Hudson or Sissy play outside. I did not even check my mail or go running. I sat inside all day freaking out. We now have a shovel by the side door and I am always prepared to go get my new red gun and shoot him!  Hudson & I live outside so this has really put a damper on our daily activities. Hopefully there will come a day when I am not constantly looking over my shoulder.

Saturday we went to the Got To Be NC Festival. Or as Hudson called it, "Mommy's birthday tractor party." It was a gorgeous day and we had so, so, so much fun.

The free sample food section was Hudson and Daddy's favorite... what a life....

Hudson also made me ride the worm ride. It looked fun until I realized it went in 80 circles and bounced up and down.

We finished the weekend by reading books. It is my favorite time of the day.....
