Party Like It's 9/29/09

PJ and I at Mike and Ashley Wiese's wedding
September 26, 2009


Handsome devil, isn't he? We spent last Wednesday-Saturday in Orchard Park/Buffalo for the wedding of some college friends (and an early escape from the G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh). Very busy weekend, but it was good to see friends and family. We celebrated my birthday with my parents and relatives on Sunday and then headed back to the 'burgh.

Yesterday was my actual birthday, and it was great...just a quiet, but great day. I received lots of phone calls and messages from my family and friends, one of the departments that I work for took me out to lunch at Point Brugge Cafe (mussels in white wine and shallot sauce and an apple-walnut pastry for dessert)...mmm...) and then I came home to flowers and the BEST dinner at Legume (three-squash ravioli with braised pork shoulder and sage and a cardamom pot de creme for dessert...this is the dish that I want to be served on my deathbed.) Nothing too crazy, but just a very happy day. Thank you to everyone who gave me some love :o)
