wwwhhhhheeeeewww!!!

WHEW!!!

I had to come up for some air from my suffocating pile of bubble wrap and fragile stickers!!

This weekend/week has been so crazy! ( In a good way!) Lots of orders and just an overall positive vibe from everyone. Love it! :) :) :)

So. Birthday summary!

First, we went to the Maryland Renaissance Festival!! FUN FUN FUN!!

I thought these little girls watching jousting had really pretty crowns!

We were shocked when they were actually hitting each other! Kind of scary...

Rich was on a mission for a chocolate-covered banana. We FINALLY found it. YESS!

Here he is trying to avoid my camera as he takes a big bite of the banana!! HA AHAHAHA!

Clever.

This woman had the CUTEST BIRD EVER!? I think it was some sort of conure? Anyone know?

I got roses :) I asked Rich if he knew yellow roses meant friendship. He said no ... but thought I was probably getting sick of red ones :) :)

Here we are all dressed up for my fancy birthday dinner. We clean up nice.

Happy weekend everyone! xoxo

Let merriment abound!!!

We all need something to look forward to. 

My problem is that I usually choose to look forward (dread) something negative coming up in my future.

BUT, I'm trying to remedy that. 

So, here is a happy thing that I will be looking forward to: The Maryland Renaissance Festival!!

I first went to the RenFest when I was in junior high (or high school?) I was part of the history club for a semester and this was one of the trips we went on. (Yeah, I was THAT cool.)

But ... it was SO COOL. I've been going or trying to go as much as possible ever since. 

Didn't go last year due to certain relationship and living situation upheavals.

BUT in a few weeks, Rich and I are going as a part of my 28th birthday celebrations!! He's never been, but my descriptions of "Steak on a Stake" and "Knave Sandwiches" and "Chocolate-Covered Cheesecakes" seem to have him willing to go.

This year will be different. This year will be happy!

Here I am 2 (or 3?) years ago watching some jousting with 1 beer and 2 turkey legs!! haha :)
