Happy Birthday Ashley!

It is Monday, the day after a major weekend event; Ashley's birthday! We had a great weekend celebrating Ashley's big day. I guess since Ashley has been maintaining the site, she failed to put her big day into our news section, so instead, I will write about it to give her day the attention it deserves.

No, we didn't go on a cruise, but I just liked this picture and thought I would use it. Ashley's birthday was Saturday, but we got an early start on Friday. We went on a little mini shopping spree for the house where Ashley picked out a bunch of new items to start the decorating and organizing process she has been looking forward to for the last 7 months while we awaited our home. This is definitely the way Ashley would start her birthday weekend and I enjoyed seeing her smile as we went from store to store.

Saturday, we spent some time early in the day at our home getting the new things together. This was just a prelude to our evening. We had a great dinner at Brio and then went to see the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra at Music Hall.

Sunday, we did a little more shopping for the house during the midday then spent the late afternoon and early evening with Ashley's parents at Dave & Busters. Then, we finished off the night at with a quite filling dinner at The Cheesecake Factory.

I hope Ashley will have fond memories of this birthday weekend. I think I can speak for everyone, in saying we all had a great time, and the best part was we were able to spending it celebrating a great person in our lives whom we all love so much.

So again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLEY!!
