On Friday night we went out to the Blue Chair Cafe. Its a little restaurant that supports live music. You have dinner, drinks, and then a show at the end of the night. This night was a blue's night. Incredible. Thats what I can say. There was 4 guys playing, a bassist, electric guitar, drummer, and a guy on the harmonica. It was so neat to watch. I can never listen to that type of music on the radio, but live was completely different. Front Porch Hills was the name of the night. They all took turns picking different songs, leading the song, and basically it was a jam session all night. The food was incredible. They use organic food, and have things on the menu that arent your typical restaurant foods. I had the vegetarian lasagna. So yummy!! The best part of the night was that all 3 of Andy's brothers were there. The last time that all 4 brothers were sitting at the same table was over 10 years ago! It was such a blessing to have the whole family there, and my parents. I told Andy this night was to celebrate him being a journeyman plumber and his birthday.
Saturday morning, I got up and went to clean another clients house. We hung around at the the rest of the afternoon, and I cleaned our own house. This didnt make Andy wonder if something was up because I always clean on the weekends. Andys mom was coming over to watch Eli so we could go out for a bite to eat. I told Trisha that Eli hadnt been feeling too well throughout the day so if something came up we werent too far and wouldnt mind coming home.
We went to Original Joe's and ordered some Nacho's and beer. My best friend Chelsey also came over early to our place to get everything in order for all our company to arrive. Im so thankful for Trisha and Chelsey's help, I couldnt have pulled it off without them!!
Andy and I decided that after we were done we were just going to go grab some snacks and go home since we spent so much money the night before. This was not in the original plan, but since he had suggested it I thought why not. Shortly, after we decided that Trisha called and said Eli was acting odd, and not like himself and she thought we should come home. So off we went to go home. I gave andy the keys and followed behind him up the back walk way. We walked in and Trisha called Andy into the living room, "Andy, Im in here, quick!!!!" She sounded so alarmed, he rushed into the living room and little did he know that there was going to be 20 some people sitting there waiting for him. "SURPRISE!!!!!!!" He was surprised. He had no clue!! We pulled it off, and he didnt suspect a thing! It was an incredible night of great company, awesome food, a beautiful cake, and celebrating my husband!
Eli even had a good time! He walked around mooching chips and pop off everyone. He knows that usually if he says "peeease?" he can get what he wants, and he got his fill. He finally went to bed around 9pm, and went down without a peep and slept till 9:30am! Which we were thankful for since we went to bed after 1am!
What a beautiful night, and a great weekend. And to top if off, we're going out on Tuesday (Andy's actual birthday!!) to take a peek at a preschool open house, and maybe get some dessert. Lots of celebrating this month. Our 4th wedding anniversary is coming up aswell so on the 21st we'll be celebrating more! We are so blessed!
Here are some pictures from our weekend!!
