Fifth Wedding Anniversary

Five years went by so fast . . . it must be because I have such a great husband.  Our anniversary was January 7th, to celebrate we went to out to eat at St. Francis, we had never been there before (but I think I've driven past  many a time). We had decided to pick somwhere new out of Phoenix Magazine's 85 best restaurants edition.

There was about an hour wait, but we didn't mind sitting outside on the nicely heated patio.

 

I ordered the Forbidden Rice, I was excited to have a vegetarian meal that included more vegetables than I can usually imagine, it was good.

The traditional gift for a five year anniversary is something made of wood, so Tom got a pretty large ship's steering wheel (for his soon to be finished pirate themed patio) and I got an orange tree.  I'm excited to have oranges in the next few years from my backyard.

Here's to the next five years!

Happy 2011!!

It is official . . . we have the most generous and fun friends ever. We had a house full of the best people in town on Saturday night!

I always mean to get a picture of everyone at my party, but again I failed and some awesome people are missing. Thanks to everyone who came over and for the fantastic housewarming presents!

christmas in a few pictures

Did you know rabbits love Christmas trees?

How many pictures do we have with us waving now?

Moondog had to say hello to my brother on a mission over skype

Does it look like we're snorting cotton balls? :) It was a Christmas style Minute to Win It game

So much more happened, you just can't capture all the fun I guess . . .

It's not Christmas until Charo sings Feliz Navi-Blah for Pee Wee

Arcade Fire - The Suburbs

 

In the suburbs I
I learned to drive
And you told me we'd never survive
Grab your mother's keys we're leavin'

You always seemed so sure
That one day we'd fight in
In a suburban world
your part of town gets minor
So you're standin' on the opposite shore
But by the time the first bombs fell
We were already bored
We were already, already bored

Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling again

Kids wanna be so hard
But in my dreams we're still screamin' and runnin' through the yard
And all of the walls that they built in the seventies finally fall
And all of the houses they build in the seventies finally fall
Meant nothin' at all
Meant nothin' at all
It meant nothin

Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling and into the night

So can you understand?
Why I want a daughter while I'm still young
I wanna hold her hand
And show her some beauty
Before this damage is done

But if it's too much to ask, it's too much to ask
Then send me a son

Under the overpass
In the parking lot we're still waiting
It's already passed
So move your feet from hot pavement and into the grass
Cause it's already passed
It's already, already passed!

Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling again

I'm movin' past the feeling
I'm movin' past the feeling

In my dreams we're still screamin'
We're still screamin'
We're still screamin'

where did november go?

Seriously, I have no idea how November is almost over and I haven't posted any photos . . . .

I think between going to the Bouncing Souls concert, shooting family photos, working, Tim Kasher concert, Suns game, Tom's birthday, Thanksgiving, more working, house work, and sleeping I forgot about blogging. Oh well, at least I'm still out living my life, just forgetting to capture it.

This is a little late, but for Thanksgiving I am thankful for all the wonderful friends and family (especially Tom) who keep me so busy.
