May Day!

May - July is always craziness at the Perry's and this year will be no question. Mother's Day, Father's Day and the 4th of July are obvious, but we also have several birthdays: Jeff's brother, Ryan; Jen's dad; Jen's brother-in-law, Mike; our nephew William and then Jen's mom and sister.

Add to that some VERY fun things we are doing, and that adds to the chaos.

Jen signed up to raise funds for work, and as a result, she received two tickets to the Easter Seals Gala. We will get to go to San Francisco for another black-tie party, and this time there is live music by Javier Colon, the winner of The Voice.

Before we party, though, that day is also the Autism Speaks walk. We sign up every year but something always happens and we don't get to go. This year we took the day off, and so we will do the walk first, come home, clean up and party in the city.

Also that weekend is the big Cooking for Solutions celebration at Monterey Bay Aquarium. Every year there are a ton of cool celebrity chefs there giving cooking demos. Last year we went and heard an awesome lecture by Alton Brown. Not sure who we might see this year but we want to try!

This ought to be the last "free" month for Jen. Her summer semester starts June 3rd, and she is taking 9 units (a lot for summer session). We will hopefully get some fun in before the work starts.
