Things I love :: A Great Party & My Mom

This was a whirlwind of a weekend, but it was an unforgettable one. First, we had a fabulous block party for my Stepdad Gary. He is finally retired from serving 30 years as a Phoenix Firefighter and man did he go out with a bang! We had two live bands, some amazing food, and plenty of liquor for everyone. Without exaggerating there at any one time were 300-400 people there to celebrate. It was a fabulous party and we plan on finding an excuse to throw one every year. Here are some pictures from the party.

Mother's day was a blast too! We had lunch with the in-laws at McCormick & Schmick's, one word, delicious! Then Chris & I went to see Star Trek. Now I'm not much for movies like that, but I have to say it was pretty good. A girl can only take so many fight scenes and laser guns before it gets old. Then I wrapped the night up with a spaghetti dinner with my mom and family. It was a pretty nice little weekend.


I hope you all had a great weekend, especially all you mothers!

Love,

Nicki
