Birthdays, parties and good-byes

Yesterday was my birthday..I officially became 30-something. Not sure how I feel about that at this point...but seeing as though I still like to have fun..I don't think I am old yet. ;-)

For my birthday, I travelled up to Fredericksburg for a farewell dinner...we are saying good-bye to a good friend. Aubry..if you don't know her you have seen her periodically on my blog as well as gyeong's. She is a good friend but is NOT 30something, and therefore must forge on to the next stage in her life. She is moving to Sante Fe, NM in a few weeks. We will all miss her terribly but we definitely know she is doing the best thing for her. So a few of us went to the Melting Pot for a fondue farewell. She will have fun and now we have a reason to head out and gamble with the Native Americans. ;-) But it was a nice way to spend my birthday as well. Jason is taking me to see Blue Man Group here in Richmond next Tuesday.

Good LUCK, AUBRY!!!!!!!

On the party front, the Alfano's came over for dinner on Saturday night with their 3 greyhounds, Tristan, Jo and Sara. Sara is their newest addition and she is the very beautiful and rare blue color. Tristan wears a diaper...he has the Hank disease. ;-) We had a lot of wine and great food..and then...it got interesting. I will have to let a few pictures show you the progression the evening took..

Brian wasn't passed out on the floor..although it does appear that way...he was wiggling around which lead to Dante running over to attack him. I think this was after Jason kicked him in the head (by accident) when they were wrestling around. Boys... OH..and yes for those of you who have met Brian..he did cut all his hair off. We had a lot of fun though. Other than that our weekend was lazy. On the adoption front, Amanda and Kenney have decided to adopt Blue (see blog entry a few weeks ago). So they now have Ana and Blue! I am sure there will be all sorts of pictures from them.
