Andrew's Birthday Weekend and Birthday

Over the weekend, we hosted a party in honor of Andrew turning 30. We also told our family members that we would reveal the sex of our baby that day too. We put baby blue colored balloons on the door so that people would know the gender as soon as they arrived. As it turns out, only mom and mom-in-law got it. Whoops! It was still really exciting to tell everyone.

The weekend started when Erin and Doug came into town. We ate dinner at Outback on Friday night. Andrew accidentally forgot his wallet. He ordered a beer and the waitress needed to see an ID. Erin and I start defending him showing her our ID's saying he's got to be our age. We swear. Plus it's his birthday next week. He's going to turn 30.

She ended up believing us and serving him the beer, along with a birthday dessert.

That was YUMMY! There was a spoon fight at the end over who got the last bite. Very intense!

Then on Saturday we had the birthday party cookout and baby's gender revealing. Here's the cake that I almost screwed up. Double layer cakes are kinda hard when you don't know what you're doing. But I iced the crap out of it and you couldn't tell where I screwed up. It was perfect.

My family has 6 July birthdays so we celebrated them all at once. That's why Isabel is taking liberties with the cake. Isabel is not really 30. :)

Later we opened gifts. I got Andrew a SWEET Chicago Bear outfit. Too bad it shrunk in the gift bag.

Then we played a few heated games of Bags or Cornhole or whatever you want to call it. Brian looks like he's doing something naughty in that picture.

So I hope Andrew enjoyed all of his birthday celebrations. He was somewhat looking forward to turning 30. (Hell, if the man isn't afraid to play hockey without knowing how to skate, why would he be afraid of the age of 30???)

Happy Happy HAPPY 30th Birthday to my dear Drewfus!

HEY YOU GUUUUUUYYYYYSSSS!!!!

BIG NEWS on the Thornburg home front!!!

Looky looky at that officialness!! Andrew got a promotion!!! His old job title was Northwest Indiana Sales Dude (they're very laid back). But now he's an INDIANA AREA MANAGER!! What What!!

He worked so hard for this position and I couldn't be more excited for him. He is a Selling Machine and now the company is starting to recognize how awesome he really is. Watch out for this one, I tell ya! He's unstoppable! Put a metal guitar playing dude to work selling metal to Indiana and you have METAL MAGIC (which coincidentally is also the first Pantera album).
