SURPRISE!!!! My wonderful and loving friends threw a surprise birthday party for me this year. I had all the trimmings from cake and ice cream to party decorations. There was lots of talking, laughing and just plain fun being had by all. Thanks to everyone who celebrated with me from afar. I enjoyed your emails, cards, calls and thoughts on my special day.

Besides the above excitement, I also watched the Gators crush Tennessee 59-20 in The Swamp and caught up with my old college roommate, Nicole.

Over Labor Day I drove to Charleston, SC to see my cousin, Michelle. We had a wonderful time despite the rain that poured the whole visit. She took me to see where she works on Kiawah Island. It was absolutely gorgeous (even thought it was overcast). It made me wonder if I should consider a career change:). We also went to a winery on Wadmalaw Island where we tasted the wines and even smashed grapes that were fermenting in vats. You can see Michelle at work in the pictures. She also introduced me to a local vodka called Firefly that is made by this winery. We hung out with her friends several evenings and enjoyed the local nightlife. Thanks Michelle for letting me come and for lifting my spirits!

I ended my summer with a fun trip to NOLA with my friend Paula. We booked a last minute flight and headed to the Big Easy. We stayed in a hotel in the Quarter that had been remodeled from an old warehouse. The weather was extremely hot and humid but it was worth it! We went to Harrah’s Casino, enjoyed the French Quarter, and ate some delicious food. I was surprised by how much of the city was still recovering two years after Katrina. It made me wonder when the city would be the same again.
