What a week! Nate was on one of his four vacation weeks (aka keep-me-sane weeks) and despite a couple of us being sick, we had a great one. Within the week, both Nate and I turned 30. Finally, we feel like we are as old as we should be, and yet we continue to remain as immature and ridiculous as ever. Any answers to this preposterous dilemma?
As for Nate's birthday, thanks to all of you who stopped by his parents' in Utah over the holidays to sign "THE BANNER", which graced our dining room mirror as the centerpiece of our surprise party! About 30 friends showed up to pat the old man on the back, and I must confess, the look of utter surprise on Nate's face as we entered the dark house to be greeted by a screaming crowd of celebrators was PRICELESS...
Our weekend was spent on a childless venture into our past (thank you a million billion mom and dad!):
We will always be homesick for this place! I'll never stop trying to conjure up scenarios for us to move back there. I may just have to settle for a glamorous retirement on 85th and Riverside. By the way, if you're ever in the mood for a really great breakfast and find yourself on the Upper West Side, try some crepes at Artopolis. A new little gem we discovered, and my life as I know it will never be the same.
All in all, it was a good week of reflection and celebration and recharging. I love Nate so much and am the luckiest person in the world to be his wife. Here's to 30 years more, and 30 years more, and..(not 30 more, I hope!)

WaHoO! I hope that Nate got our little comment too... I sent it to your mom. If not, just add it on there and know that we were thinking about him!!!

You guys are so cute - and great friends! I wish we had gotten to know each other sooner! All of life's injustices! Happy 30th - wish we could have been there to add some more volume to the surprise! We love you guys!
Happy Birthday! I'm so jealous you got to go to New York, could you move back there? Then we'd have a place to stay and friends to see when we go back! : )
We were so glad that we got to help Nate celebrate his birthday. The look on his face was priceless.
Hi guys!
Long time no talk. Happy Birthday! Your kids are adorable. It's great to see that you are doing so well. I'm really happy for you and hope to see you soon :)

Hi Jenny! I happened on your blog and I don't know how I got here, but good to catch up to you! I love your posts about your son. Priceless! We are in Westchester now, but NY suburbia is overrated! Hope to see you again sometime! xoxo
