Our Birthdays - Berkshire Hathaway Meeting

This year Jeff got a super gift for his birthday....but it was more courtesy of Union Bank than something I would have been able to attain myself, but I scored some good wifey points with this one. We went to the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting in Omaha on May 2nd. I was able to get tickets through work, so out we went. Leaving our house at 5:30 am we got in line outside the Qwest Center by 6:30 am. The line was ALREADY wrapped around the building to get in. It basically was like American Idol!!
Once we were inside we got some coffee and donuts and claimed some seats. We wandered down to the exhibit hall where there were some vendors set up and moseyed around their booths and checked out some super tricked out campers. We happened to be at the right place at the right time....we see a few people gathering about 15 feet from where we were standing and low and behold, who appears?? Mr Buffett and Bill Gates Senior. They were sitting down for a book signing and we were basically in the front row! We got a few pictures and stared for a few minutes and then got out of the mob of photographers and crazy fans that was forming! The meeting was lengthy in question and discussion, all of which Jeff understood and went right over my head...thankfully I had my trusty People Magazine and nail file to pass the time. It was a long day...we had been up since 4 something in the morning. We crashed early that night.




For my birthday we got a couples massage and pedicures. It was the first pedicure for BOTH of us. It was very nice. Our massages were relaxing too. It was weird to have a massage while laying on my side.... I spent most of the time trying not to tip over while being pushed on.
I made Jeff a marble bundt cake overloaded with too much chocolate frosting, and Jeff got a super dooper chocolate ice cream cake from Cold Stone. We binged and then felt sick, but it was totally worth it. Oh and I got new tires for my car!
