...I'm recapping last weekend.

So, this past weekend I had a lot going on. I turned 37. I went to a Packer's pre-season game and sat on the 50 yard line for it. Chicago was a blast, and Sunday was nice and lazy.

...good things are happening around here (update)

Well, what would it be if I didn't update people on how things were going around the house...

The biggest thing for me is that I see a huge project and I don't know where to start. Then that means I just don't start it. It's work. I already work 40 hours a week. I want to rest.

Well, this shit needed to happen too. I got a lot done over the last couple of weeks. Cat helped with a lot too. She has been a huge motivator along the way in more ways than one.

(And yes, my kids have sheets... they are in the dryer)

...I am posting this ahead of time.

Today will be a great day. I already got to ride in on the motorcycle. I will be leaving work in an hour. And this afternoon, I will be heading up to a nice bed and breakfast with my lady for the night. Tomorrow we top it off with a day at Summerfest and watch the fireworks.

It's going to be a good 48 hours where I don't have to worry about anything really. Just what to eat, and lounge around.

...I got to share an awesome sunset with the lady.

So, I picked up my girlfriend on the way out to get my kids tonight. Prior to leaving, she gave me my anniversary gift a few days early (Tuesday will be one year since our first date). She got me a very nice pair of sunglasses I have been looking at for a while. They are awesome. So, we hit the road, got some food and drove out to get the littles. Thanks to daylight savings time shifting the clock by an hour last weekend, I got to drive in to the sunset.

It was amazing. A giant orange ball of light that you wanted to reach out and hold just disappearing in to the trees on the horizon leaving a bloody trail of red and dark purple against a pristine clear blue sky. One would think that would be the end of it. The red and purple went away, no clouds in the sky, nothing to make the night really seem all that eventful. Then as we rounded the corner of the highway, the moon rise started. It's not too often you get to see a great sunset and then an almost full moon rise within minutes of each other.

It was a nice ride out tonight.
