The Civil Wars

Last week was Matt's birthday! It was a crazy week--I got really sick, our dryer stopped working ( no laundry for me!), Matt's sister unexpectedly stayed with us for a few days, and my parents came to visit for the weekend. Even though it was a wild few days, we loved all of the extra family time--more reason to celebrate Matt's birthday!

On the 19th (his actual birthday), I took him out to Times Ten Cellars. We ordered pizza from Scallini's and split a bottle of wine. It was wonderful. Two hours of just us--spending time together and talking. We loved it so much, that we're hoping to go back soon.

Friday, we celebrated with a yummy dinner at home with my parents--complete with balloons and a cookie cake. :)

Saturday was the real celebration. Matt went to Waco with my dad to watch the basketball game. That night we had a double date with Ryan & Jama--we went to the Angry Dog for some amazing burgers, and then we all went to see The Civil Wars in concert at The House of Blues. It was amazing. A guy, a girl, and a guitar on stage. That's it. No fancy lights or gimmicks. Just really good music. I liked them before the concert, but now I'm a really big fan. I think Matt had a great time & it was fun celebrating him with some of our favorite friends. I wish I took more pictures of all the birthday festivities, but here's what I have from the concert...

What they really look like, since you can't really tell from the previous picture. :)

Me & the birthday boy!

And just in case you want to see their video of my favorite song--Poison & Wine...


And another one I love--Barton Hollow...



Happy Birthday to the best husband, friend, and father on the planet. We love you!!!
