A Halloween party and The Bridge??!!

Mike joined his old band, once again, for a benefit concert in Baltimore. Not only was it a dress up party, with The Bridge playing, and fun times with friends and family, BUT my dad, Charlie, came!!! Him and my mom came down for the fun! Ralphie joined in, too! Mike was amazing, as always, and it truly was an amazing night!! Kenny's charity raised a ton of money. I had donated a paining to the silent auction and it sold for $250!! All of it goes to the charity, so I was super excited!!! Here are some pics to document the evening...

Sherri had a great birthday here in MD!!

So, on Friday, my sweet girl, Sherri, had a birthday! Her and her man, Ryan, came to celebrate with me and Mikey! We had such a fun night! Glad I got to spend your day with you!!

My girl got married!!!

This weekend, one of my past students, who I adore, got married to the love of her life!! Congrats Kim and Jon! It was beautiful to witness and I loved my time with Sam, too!!!

A weekend full of Dicksteins!!!

We had the pleasure of getting a visit from our family, the Dicksteins! They all have amazing children and it was good practice for us for when we have little ones! Josh and Michelle had a wedding in town, so they stayed here with Esther and we had a blast! Rian and Lisa live in the town next to us, so we also got to spend time with them and the lovely grandparents (my God-parents) Wendy and David!! The whole weekend was super special and we hope to see everyone again soon!!!

Just enjoying some "me time" on this gorgeous October afternoon...

So, here I sit, just relaxing and having a "me day," while I wait for my sweetie to come home in a bit. I of course did the "must-dos" this morning, such as laundry, grading (which is actually a joy and not a chore because I truly enjoy reading the papers of my students), baked a birthday cake for my sister-in-law, and cleaned the house a bit. Then, I nestled into the couch with my two furry companions and had some time to just RELAX!! It's funny, because my friends have always referred to me as a social butterfly; one who is always flitting around from one place to the next with endless plans. Although I love seeing friends, families, attending fun events (such as the engagement party we are attending tonight...yey Cris and Kat!!), I am also realizing that there is a benefit to just taking some time for me, being selfish, and chillin'! I owe that to myself. We all do. Just sayin'!
