This year my parents decided to have a 5th of July party at their newly established house – the big house. While their have been a few parties at my parents house in the past, this was the first since they had moved back in ((that’s a completely different story – a long one at that)).
While my Mom didn’t really want us to bring anything except for picking up some beer on the way, we decided it would be fun to make and bring Jello finger shots. We should have just stuck with the beer…
This weekend Josh’s Mom came up for a couple of reasons. The first and main reason we had her up, was to celebrate her birthday. While her birthday isn’t until tomorrow (June 2nd), we wanted to at least take her out to dinner while we all could arrange it in our busy schedules. In addition to spending the weekend together, we enjoyed a great dinner at Mama Velias’ Italian Restaurant. Boy was that Veal Parmesan good! Looking back, we both just realized that we didn’t even get a birthday cake – what were we thinking?!?! So Mom, we have a birthday cake here waiting for you! No guarantees we won’t eat it though! đŸ™‚
We also spent a good part of Saturday and Sunday looking at different places to hold our rehearsal dinner. Being married in the Pottstown area, our choices are rather limited as there aren’t very many places that offer what we were looking for. While some places had a great room for us to hold our party, either the food selection or overall pricing was horrible/outrageous.
In the end we believe we chose the right place for our rehearsal dinner. Hopefully we’ll be able to confirm the date with everyone ((Brad from La Massaria and Pastor Dave from Church)) and celebrate the fact that we rehearsed! đŸ˜‰
Happy Birthday Mom!!! :heart:
For those of you who don’t understand the title, Italian Sausage and Peppers was the one thing that Mom wouldn’t stop talking about all weekend. Hey Dad J, just a hint, bring her some Italian Sausage for her birthday! ((Stop thinking so dirty too!))
Seems that I’m getting some negative press regarding my [intlink id=”23″ type=”post”]Crazy Pie[/intlink] post from awhile back… Is Crazy Pie like Mad Cow disease in that the people who eat Crazy Pie become Crazy? Did my Mom have Crazy Pie? Is Megan Crazy too? Will I wake up one morning surrounded by empty tin pie containers being the last person on earth who is not crazy? I don’t think so, but I should tell my story now in case that does happen!
Planning a wedding can often be stressful – aside from picking your reception location, a photographer, finding a DJ, etc – other stresses sometimes just pop-up completely unexpected ((i.e. See Megan’s post about the H…)). While we still have a lot of things to accomplish that are very time consuming and will probably bring a certain level of stress, last night was just a little different.
A little bit of great food, a lot of great wine and no stress!
A lot of you have probably heard Megan and I talking about our Baby Budget over the last few months, although you might not really know what we’re talking about. So instead of letting you think that we’re saving to purchase a baby ((Nice Madonna reference, huh!)), let me explain.
After celebrating my 33rd birthday exactly two weeks ago, I realized it was time to share our birthday tradition with the world! So get ready world – get ready for the coolest, super-dooperist birthday tradition ever!
The Megan and Josh Birthday Dinner Tradition!
