Birthday-fest 2013

 My fav neighbor and I kicked off our 2nd Annual 30th Birthday's at Suwanee Beerfest.  It was a beautiful day to be outside in Suwanee and enjoy the bands, food and of course a wide array of beers!
Our beer of choice and my new "Official Beer of Spring/Summer 2013"
Leinenkugels Berry Weiss

Waiting in line for our 3 OZ sample



Many beerfest attendees wore homemade pretzel necklaces, it is a genius idea and "cleanses your pallet" from the different tasting beers... wish we would have known as this would have really of come in handy... you know how good pretzels and beer go together!
As the day progressed we got a little "silly" and I was dared to eat a pretzel off of a strangers necklace. This kind gentleman was willing to share a pretzel with me!  
Can't wait until the fest continues with our 80's bowling party!
To end the day we arrived home to our husband's 3rd Annual Burning of the Yard Party-
They were finishing up as we arrived...
Picture Guys with lighters, beers and water hoses. It's a pretty ugly site (and mess) right now but in a few weeks our yards will be the greenest on the street.

I play these conversations over and over in my head and wonder how the other person took the news. It all starts with a sweet, innocent gesture, a simple: "So, how's the baby?" I reply, "Unfortunately, we lost her". If you can imagine the look of someone seeing a ghost, that's about the look I receive. I've heard: "I'm so sorry", "God Bless You", "that's not the answer that I was expecting" "Oh, I totally forgot!" (guessing this person knew and asked without thinking?!?) Some people blush and look like they want to run away, some gave me a hug, some say they will keep me in their prayers. And before you know ...

My sweet sister-in-law shared a beautiful letter with me that she wrote to Madison. I know the words came right from her heart. I cannot express how much it means to me that our beautiful baby touched her life in the way that it did and I am so thankful to have her in my life She wanted to post it to her blog with my permission, which of course I gave.
