We celebrate one year and Rob turns 31!

This past weekend was a busy one for us! We had a lot to celebrate as we have officially passed the one year mark in our marriage and Rob is officially into his early 30s (that doesn't start until 31, right?)

On Friday, Mania and Shawn took Rob and I to see a play about the trials and tribulations Cubs fans experience every year. The show is call "Wait Till Next Beer" and it was such a great time. We all enjoyed the show and especially enjoyed the Ron Santo impressions.

Saturday, Rob and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary with some amazing Spanish seafood at Dorado and capped the night off by watching The Dark Night in Evanston.

For Rob's birthday, we had the Hilgart clan over to our house for a fiesta in Rob's honor. Lots of tacos, fajitas and Rob's favorite, queso fundido (thanks Linda!)

Queso = Happy Birthday boy-man

Rob was also gifted with some great toys (Guitar Hero, a video camera, grilling tools) and EVERYONE had a lot of fun playing with them.

oh, watch out, he's up!

All in all, a great weekend! We are so thankful to everyone for anniversary and birthday wishes and feel so thankful for all that we have to celebrate.

Now it's off to Disney!

I am sad you are so busy that you can't do the blog as often- and give me something to do when I am bored at work.
