Happy Birthday to ME!!

Turning 29 was pretty exciting. let me explain.
i got to go to my first red sox game!! i cannot tell you how excited i was. i was slap happy and giddy and all that fun stuff. I even scared/freaked out/pissed off dennis eckersly. it was a perfect day, and they went ahead and won for me, which was nice.
This was the day before my birthday.


outside of fenway...


this place is pretty magical




auntie bri was awesome. thanks for such a great birthday present and a wonderful day!!





i was a LITTLE excited to be there


and then finally settled down



yep, we're doing what it looks like we're doing. the coolest place i've ever fed her =)


she was SO GOOD. this is the ninth inning when she fell asleep IN FENWAY with all the CHEERING and SCREAMING and WINNING 7-0. we walked out, back to the car and put her in her seat where we sat in beautiful game day traffic, ALL without her waking up!! We couldn't believe it =)

Then, my actual birthday....

at the BATTING CAGES!!


i think fun was had by all. (but mostly me)





and brooks is right, i do look like i'm 12 in a helmet. (nice to hear on a birthday with higher numbers)
its so nice to be home, surrounded by the people i love on my day, and oh the day(s) was(were) great! Thanks everyone so much!

someone else had a recent birthday-type day. miss naia marie is 10 months old. that event deserves its own blog though, so stay tuned for it.


then we have this picture. it has nothing to do with anyone's birthday, but isn't it the sweetest thing?! ikea parking structure, naia and her cuz, ready to go shopping... i have a feeling this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship!
