Happy Birthday, Cassie!

We had a fun birthday lunch at Verbena this week to celebrate Cassie's birthday!

Happy Birthday Cassie

I adore my new neighbor...and friend,  Cassie!  This is the first of many birthday I know we will celebrate together!

 We headed to the Village Anchor to celebrate! It was so fun to celebrate with her and I feel so lucky to have such an amazing, new friend!

 and I feel equally as lucky to have friends who know me inside and out.....

 Truly...a good belly laugh with a good friend is just good for the soul!

 I guess that is why my soul is oh so happy!

Here's to old friends and new friends and happy laughter all around!

Derby 138

Derby 138 had arrived! I was so sad when I woke up...wanting to be putting on a Derby dress and head to the track...but Jeremy was on call and that was not in the cards....

We settled into our Derby day watching the races with mom and betting online...the kids loved it! We ended up having the best day at home in our living room!Finally it was time for the Derby and the call to post.....

Sk did her own call to post with her pretend trumpet!

 We cheered and jumped...but this year no one had the big winner!

 Later I headed to the Wiggins' party...Jeremy was still working....we had a great time inside....

 and out....

 Cheers to Derby 138!
