Shawn has dubbed this week Week Awesome for several reasons.
#1 My bestest Theresa Vargo is visiting with her mother Barb Sequin. Yay!

They love us so much that they drove down from Indiana to spend the week here! They arrived Sunday night...and so Week Awesome began!
Monday we went to lunch at the Hula Hut. Theresa and I shared a drink that was served in a fish bowl! It was tasty...fruit juice and rums. Yum!

We also went out to dinner at an Irish pub downtown called Fado. It was really good! I had a drink that was delicious. It was called a Black Velvet. It was half Strongbow and half Guiness. Delicious! We all had really good food too. Everyone cleaned their plates! The waitress tried to get me to try some drink that sounded disgusting. It was Jameson Whiskey with pickle juice! Gross, right? Anyway, we had fun and I got called an asshole while we were walking back to our car. Oh...fun times with Theresa!

#2 Yesterday was Shawn's 28th Birthday!
Shawn decided that he wanted to rent a canoe and go out on the lake for his birthday. Mom found us a deal a few days earlier so we decided to do it. Barb and T had one canoe and Shawn and I were in the other. We had 2 hours out on Lady Bird Lake. It was awesome! Shawn and I will being doing this again for sure! I forgot to sunscreen my legs though...mistake! They are beet red!

We encountered some wildlife along the way too. Theresa was afraid of the swan...he did sound pretty mean though. But I just reminded her that we had a paddle and I'm pretty sure we could take him! There were a ton of turtle too! Shawn and I drove our canoe under the Congress Street Bridge to see if we could see the bats...we could not. They tuck themselves way up into the bridge during the day. We could hear them though! You could really tell there were a ton of bats up inside the bridge!
Overall, the canoe experience was awesome! And so Week Awesome continued!
#3 Eric came home from his trip to Indiana yesterday, just in time for Shawn's birthday! The house was not the same while he was gone! Of course Nessa was CRAZY EXCITED that he was back. Plus, she just got back from her trip to England and Ireland. And she brought us a present from Dublin.

Marcie is not so sure though ;)
We all went to Plucker's for dinner for Shawn's birthday since he get a free meal on his birthday. It was a great time! Logan was super adorable, as usual! He was eating everything in sight...he really liked the ranch dipping sauce! Afterward, we all came back to the apartment and played a new game Theresa brought with her.

Basically everyone acts really stupid during the game and there are some hilarous trivia questions. Ask Shawn about cantaloupe. That is all I will say about that!
Well...the week isn't over yet! We still have outlet mall and Harry Potter ahead!
