Kicking Off Summer the Right Way


This past weekend we had our first official Gigglemoor trip of the summer to celebrate my 28th birthday. I was a little uneasy at first because of my teeth, but come Friday evening I was feeling much better.

As usual the weekend was filled with great food, laughter, friends and all sorts of fun! We shot potato guns, played whiffle ball, went wake boarding, jet skiing, hung out on the dock and much more.

One of my favorite moments from the weekend was my birthday dinner on Saturday night. We cooked pork tenderloin, shrimp, veggies and much more and it was delicious!!! I have the best boyfriend who planned it all and even bought me a surprise outfit to wear for the night! Plus, my friends were the greatest and surprised me with a nice gift as well.

After all this, had to make room for the birthday cake complete with sparklers and all. We popped a little champagne and enjoyed! It was a great birthday and a total surprise to have the nice additions.

I can't wait to go back. I posted a group photo above as well as some snaps of the birthday cake! I couldn't have asked for a better birthday surprise!

A Great Day To Fly

This past weekend in Cincinnati it was unseasonably warm, in the mid 70s. People were wearing shorts, flip flops, running outside and drinking beers on the patio. The kind of stuff that Spring is made of.

Jim, who is a liscened VFR pilot, decided to take me and my friend Megan for a flight. I have been bugging (nagging) Jim to take me on a flight to my Alma Mater, Ohio University, for quite some time and on Saturday he made all my dreams come true (well, not all, but at least he fulfilled this one)!

So Megan, Jim and I took flight to OU to have a little fun. It was a little windy up there which caused a very turbulent flight. I definitely lost my stomach a few times and got nervous, so kuddos to Megan who didn't seem scared at all...even though she probably felt like this.

We arrived to the fabulous college, were greeted by students lugging cases of Nati Light down the street, short shorts, partying on patios, mysterious smoke billowing from windows and a Tour De Jenny Circa 1999-2003. We ate a a local establishment, checked out my Senior House, walked around and just did it up. I sure wish we could have stayed the night and partied with all the shirtless college boys playing beer pong a cornhole at 2PM - oh the days to be young and carefree!

We arrived back in Cincinnati safely and can't wait to do it all over again. I hate OSU, so here's too all you OSU people who do the dumb OSU all over the world things -it's a little distorted, thanks iPhone, but to the best Ohio School ever - GO BOBCATS!!!

Another Successful 80s Party

The party was a blast. I'm posting a few pics below and high lighting some of the events.

The first pic is all the host!

The several other pics are some of my favorite costumes I saw throughout the night that needed a mention.

The first, that is a Ghostbuster carrying a Ghostbuster pack. This pack had flashing lights and actually shot out liquor, it was completely amazing and homemade.

The next pic were two of my other favorite outfits. Flava Flav and the Boston Celtics Player (yes, that is Jim in the middle).



Mike as Indiana Jones was great because his costume was so fitting.
Last but not least, Johnny and Danny from Karate Kid. This was a great costume because it allowed them to fight each other in front of everyone and we all watched and giggled.

The party was a success and thanks to everyone who came! We now have the ability to mentor kids and allow them to do things they usually cannot while at the same time receiving life lessons!
