My 30th Birthday Weekend

I had the most wonderful 30th birthday weekend.
Friday:
The morning brought me to a hair appointment and then lunch with my dear friend Karin. Arlo was with a sitter and Sam at school...I was alone for 4 hours!! In the evening, a dinner party in my favor...fresh vegetables roasted with homemade tomato sauce and pasta...mmmm...... It was a very enjoyable evening. Sherri, her sister Janet, and family, friends from in town. We ate, drank , laughed....superb.
Saturday:
Matt cooked me breakfast and we had an offer on our house! After signing paperwork and making a counter-offer, we're officially "Pending Contract", which feels really good.
Saturday evening I went to the Dave Matthews Concert. It was an awesome experience. The music was fantastic. The band is so tight. I heard a lot of new-to-me songs and danced. Sherri and her sister packed a gourmet picnic and we dined like queens. A really great evening. I was reminded of my age a number of times, though. I haven't been to a big (23,000 people) concert like that in 12 years, not since the Grateful Dead in 1995 in Highgate, Vermont at the Franklin County Field. The security was tight and the whole thing was a bit commercialized. I wasn't expecting that. I guess I am naive. I am glad that I went...my crush on Dave Matthews is 15 years in the making and it was very satisfying to see him live.
Sunday:
As we hadn't officially had our counter-offer accepted our realtor wanted to have one final open house on Sunday afternoon. So, Matt and I decided since we had to be away from the house for a few hours, we'd hike to Saddle Rock, the mountain behind our house. Matt loves Saddle Rock and it has been an amazing mountain to live with. At 2200 ft., the walk was about 2.5 miles to the peak and then another 1.5 down. We took the long trail and also hit Black Rock along the way. Sam hiked the entire trail to the peak. We were all incredibly impressed. He kept saying, "My strong, my a good hiker!" It really was a wonderful hike. Our good friend, Andy came along and we all had lunch after.
Thus ended my birthday weekend.
Today we packed the remainder of our house and we're ready for the movers. They'll be here at 8 am and I really should go to bed. So, here's how I look after weeks of house selling stress and a long day of packing and sweating...I'm tired.
