My Birthday!

Bill and I just celebrated my 25th birthday (it was July 24th) and it was wonderful!! My birthday was on a Friday so of course Bill was coming home from Dallas. Before he got home though he stopped and got me flowers, balloons, picked up my cake and then got my presents and cards out from a closet!

We went to Perry's Steakhouse that night for dinner and it was delicious! We went to the Perry's at Memorial City and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a yummy steak!! Then after we came home we drank a bottle of Tattinger (our fav) and dined on birthday cake! I had to beg Bill to let me FINALLY open my presents and they were the best....he bought me a silver jewelry case from Tiffany since it was my "silver" birthday, he got me the LV overnight bag that I wanted, he bought me a cutting board from Williams Sonoma that I wanted and gave me 2 great Peanuts cards. It was a great birthday!!

Here are some pics....

Vacation

Well as most of you know, Bill and I went on a semi-vacation to Costa Mesa, California a couple of weeks ago and we had a blast! Bill was there for some IBM meetings and I was along for the ride! We met a lot of really nice people and I finally got to put some faces with some names I'd been hearing about for a long time. It was my first trip to California and we went to Beverly Hills, Laguna Beach, Newport Beach and of course, Costa Mesa. The temperature could have been any better - 78 degrees, breezy and sunny - It REALLY did not make me want to return to the heat of Texas....but we eventually had to come home.

We had a great time and I can certainly see Bill and I going back to California on another trip soon!

Love you all-
