28 years and 1 week old

I can't believe I have been 28 for a full week now, it's flown by!!!!! ;-)
The Toby Keith concert with Mom and Scott was a blast. Trace Adkins has such a fantasticly low country voice and I think Scott got a kick out of my "that's what he looks like?!?!?!" comment when Trace walked on stage with a long blonde mullet, tight white t-shirt, jeans, cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. In my opinion, I would take the crowd at a country concert over any other genre. It's such a mix of people with all different wardrobes and some very interesting tattoos.
On Saturday, Scott surprised me with a "cake" filled with candles to blow out in the shape of a 2 and an 8. He got me the perfect gift...... a Garmin nuvi for my new car with traffic updates and rerouting. Plus, it has all different voices (american english male and female, british english male and female, and australian english male and female).
Now I won't get lost or stuck in traffic........ but he told me I had to be careful not to get into an accident if i'm fiddling with it on the road. Matt also thought it would be funny to change it to the Cantonese language without my knowing!
After giving me my gift, I played with it all the way to dinner (which was a surprise) at Vintage Kitchen in Norfolk with a table by the water overlooking their extensive herb garden. We had a fabulous slow 5 course meal with a 5 cheese plate, spicy ceasar salad, mushroom pot pie, entrees of duck and filet, and an apple tart dessert accompanied by a pinot grigio and merlot. It was perfect!
I went over to Matt and Amanda's to watch SYTYCD last night and had a great time playing with Callie and trying to make her grin. She is getting so big and I will have to take my camera over next time to take pictures. I will even throw in a photo shoot with Chester as well since he was trying to win all of the attention last night.

Scott and I start our vacation next Friday!!!!! We will be going to the Brad Paisley concert Friday in Virginia Beach, then heading to Richmond on Saturday so Scott can go to a friends engagement party, leave Sunday for Charleston, SC and stay through Thursday. Then I will go to Raleigh Thursday-Sunday to hang out with my girls from VT, and Scott will go to Wilmington Thursday to be with HS friends and then Staunton for a wedding Saturday. It's going to be a fun filled week away from work for me and a celebration of Scott finishing his step 2 of the boards which he takes on the 23rd.
