No Pictures

Well, I've been waiting for almost a month (and harassing Michele the whole time) for pictures so I could put up a post about my surprise Birthday Party.
See, Michele organized everyone to meet at Olive Garden, then nonchalantly called and asked if she could take me to dinner. It was a completely unexpected happy surprise! I got to visit with everyone, I got fantastic gifts, and, well Olive Garden is one of my favorite places to eat. I was even more overwhelmed because it happened mid-week, and how often can everyone get together mid-week? Anyway, because it was such a surprise I didn't even think about taking pictures. Nick C. was the photog that night, and Michele said she'd send me the pictures for my blog. I have to give her some slack because through all of this she's been finishing moving into the house - finishing up the school year for the kids (now all the way across town since the move) - and taking care of the million and one things a mom does.
So just imagine...
The entire back room at Olive Garden was ours. We were just shy of 20 people (that's a lot of Robbins to have in one place). There was good food, good company, and laughing - oh my goodness, so much laughing! Since then we've gotten together for mini reunions, graduations, and next week is Marissa's birthday... We've really kicked off the summer right!
Don't you just love family?
