We're both officially 30!


As of Monday, Joe AND I are both officially 30! We celebrated Joe's birthday back in July with a surprise party for Joe! He was so surprised and the best surprise of all was that his brother Frank, sister-in-law Lauren, and niece Bethy came up from Delaware! Everyone had a great time swimming and eating!
Last week, the Friday before my birthday Joe took me to The Hershey Hotel for a FABULOUS dinner! We got all dressed up and were spoiled rotten! We started out with bread and butter. However it was not your usual bread and butter... Joe had chocolate bread and chocolate butter! I had sourdough bread and butternut squash butter! Then we had a duck patee (sp?) which was out-of-this-world! For appetizers Joe had Kolby steak and I had lobster bisque. For dinner it was NY strip steak and venison medallions. After dinner Joe had a triple chocolate cake/cheesecake thing and I ordered 3 different kinds of cheese! We were there for almost 2 hours! I think I drank 2 bottles of wine! Needless to say we had a blast! And to top this off, Newt Gingrich was eating at the table next to us! Not a bad way to enter our 30's...
