Mom's beloved public transportation...

I don't know why but my mom loves taking public transportation! She loves to ride the light rail, train and subway when she comes to visit us! She has never understood why I don't like to use it but I think she got the idea when she saw the bullet hole in the window of the light rail!

My Birthday Week!

I'm a very lucky girl! My mom and sister came out for "birthday week" as it is known in my family. We had so much fun and Tom was such a good sport! My one complaint is that it always goes by too fast! I received so many great gifts, including tickets to American Idols on tour from Tommy and New Kids on the Block from Erin! She also included a t-shirt to wear to the concert (see picture above). So excited!
