The past few weeks have involved a lot of adult only work around our house. Brian and I have been working on several home improvement projects (the final reveal will have a post all to itself). In addition to the work on the home front, Brian is having to shut down his office. His lease is up at the end of May and the company decided that they will not renew the lease. Hence one of the many reasons for creating an office in our house. (The other reason was to free up a guest room upstairs -- that came in handy this weekend!) So, Brian has been busy packing up his office/warehouse. This was the last of the goods to go to the home office -- the boys and went up to Brian's office to see the big truck. We never miss a chance to see a big truck up close and personal.
As I have mentioned before, all the professional, paid people have completed their parts of our home improvement projects......now it all on us to finish. Brian and I have been spend A LOT of time primer, paint and these guys:
All the while we have been planning our first get away without the boys. I have not mentioned it on the blog, as I was worried that something would come up and we would not get to go (as in, I would not be able to leave the boys!). But, we went and had a wonderful time. We spent two night at Beau Rivage in Biloxi, MS. It was just the right amount of time. Papaw stayed with the boys at our house (utilizing our new guest room). It took me forever to get ready for the trip with all my lists and schedules typed out -- I am sure that Papaw just laughed at all the papers! We ate at two very nice restaurants and I was able to take my time and actually eat my food warm!
We knew that Brett Michaels (former lead singer of Poison) was going to be at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino next door to us. We walked over there to people watch. For fun I checked the ticket prices for the concert and they were $50 and $60. That seems like a crazy amount to see Brett Michaels. We ended up getting tickets from someone who had extra for $10. Now that is more like it. It was a fun hour and 15 min. But boy was it loud (we have not been to a rock and roll concert in a long time).
Me and my lead singer at the concert!
We are glad to be home and really missed the boys. More about what the boys have been up to very soon.....stay tuned!
