Today marks what would have been my mother's 66th birthday. Kind of crazy. Happy Birthday mom, just know that Gavin and I will be enjoying a little cupcake in your name tonight.

Jeff heads off to Dallas this afternoon. His grandmother died about 4 months ago and the family is just now holding the Memorial service. Can I ask? Is this normal? Anyway, he's going to see family he hasn't seen in almost 25 years! I can't imagine that...I mean, I guess I can, I haven't seen my uncle that lives in Boston in about 7 years. I'd like to think that sometime between now and the next 17 years, I'll get up there to see him and his family.

Lucky Jeff might go to the home opener for the Dallas Cowboys tonight. Wait, is it the home opener? I'll have to check that, I don't think it is, WAY too early. Regardless, a preseason game is fun too!

Gavin and I are going to be little social butterflies this weekend. Tonight, we're having dinner with Mercedes and her clan at Everybody's Pizza. Yum! Tomorrow morning, we're heading to Piedmont Park for a little jaunt with Andy and Rashid. And tomorrow night, we're having birthday ice cream with Aba and Abo (a.k.a. Tim and Mary Lee). Fun! At some point, I'd love to make it over to the pool, especially before they shutter the doors for the season, but not sure that's going to happen!
