May 19: On Saturday, my sweet guy turned 30! That’s a big birthday:) The previous Friday, he and a couple friends went to a Brewer’s game and had a great evening tailgating and watching the Brewer’s pull out a win in the final moments of the game.
On his birthday, we drove up to Minnesota for Maretta’s graduation. First, though, we made a stop in Northfield where we had lunch at Hogan Brothers. MMmmm. Carleton was holding its annual rugby reunion, so we went up to the rugby fields and spend an hour or two watching a rugby match and chatting with old friends. Bryan played rugby for a few years in college, and it was fun to watch him hold Andrew and show the little guy a few scrums.
Then we drove the rest of the way up to St. Paul and got to see Maretta and Kyle’s new apartment on Grand Avenue. It’s really a fun place for them. I’m so excited that they get to start their life together! We went out to dinner with my family and Kyle’s parents, and we had rhubarb dessert (my mom’s yummy recipe) for Bryan’s birthday cake. It was an action-packed day, and I’m hoping to get to take him out soon for a dinner just him and me. It was a beautiful day for a birthday. Happy 30th, honey!
Althea, Bryan, Andrew, and Sylvia
