At the end of Sept we went to the Maroon 5 & Train concert @ what I still fondly call "Starplex" @ Fair Park. We met Angie & Chase for pizza & Bellini's @ Sfuzzi's beforehand ... yum! And the concert was awesome! Train was my fav. They put on a great live show! And as they sang "Marry Me" ... the lead singer walked down our aisle. I know I sound corny- but it was so cool! David tried to video him as he walked by us ... but it all happened too quickly. We did get a few other good videos though.
The very next night we went to our friend Julie's 40th birthday @ the Glass Cactus in Grapevine. (I don't think I've been out two nights in a row in about a decade!) So much fun!! It was with the group of parents that Cade's play baseball & football with ... and I can almost never socialize. Too busy chasing my manic 2 year old around!! So it was nice to get out amongst the adults for a change : ) Needless to say, as Sunday rolled around- David & I were both exhausted!!
Amidst everything else that was going on ... we finally had our balcony ripped down (well ... most of it) & rebuilt again. The two center-posts were collapsing inward. It looked awful & didn't look terribly safe either. It was a pain in the booty AND the pocketbook!! But I am relieved that it is finally done. And it looks SO much better. I think I like it even better than before.

| Before pics of the rotting wood under the coloumns once on our balcony |
 |
The coloumns are completely gone ... the wood that is there now is just to act as braces. The tile has been ripped up & eventually all the sub-flooring went too. It was a mess! |

| All done! |
 |
| Had to include this cute shot. Ethan was tackiling Cade ... and clearly happy about it : ) |
