Joe Cool's Birthday Weekend.

Of course she was my date for the whole weekend but soon she will be my date for ever.
How do I even begin to tell you what an awesome birthday weekend I had. It pretty much started on Thursday night when my fiance and my little sister decided to surprise me by showing up a whole day in advance. Yes I knew they were coming but was expecting them by Friday night, so that was a heck of a pleasant surprise.

My California surprises, Abby and Chely. These two have been best friends since like forever.

Needless to say I called in to work on Friday as I took one of the many personal days that are available to me, because believe it or not and even with all those California trips I have managed to only take a small portion of my allotted personal and vacation time. Smart time management is the name of the game.

So, the next morning Abby and I had brunch at Village Inn in Avondale. I had been there before and was not impressed but this time the food was really good and so was the service which made it for a nice time while we were there. Next we went over to the furniture to just kindda see what they had and winded up buying a brand new set of mattresses. Trust me, if I already sleep a lot once these things make it to my house I will sleep all the time because they are totally and awesomely comfortable.

It was a non stop weekend. We went from shopping, to visiting my mom, to going out dancing, to singing at church, and then to coming to my sister's for an impromptu birthday party for me which was so much fun I want another one next week. All my kids were there as were my mom and sisters, my sister Adela was also there and that was a super treat as I hardly ever get to see her.

My niece Marya better known as Maryita and I.
Joe Cool feeling very loved right now.
Las cuatro mosqueteras, bueno en realidad no son mosqueteras pero si son cuatro.
Abby and I had better things to do than to pose for pictures.

As always the best part of the after party is the food, and this time Salsitas provided with some very delicious tacos. Ummm que ricos!

I didn't have my camera handy so I am going to rely on some images caught by my lil sister and I may add more as I can steal more from family members that mey post them on facebook. Yeah, I know what a cheater.
