My Birthday!

First of all I just want to say a big Thankyou to everyone who helped make my birthday special. Thanks for all your calls, comments, and birthday wishes. (picture above) This is me and our adorable interns Michelle and Jenae. They are so great. We have become good friends in the short time we have worked together. For my birthday they surprised me with this super cute dolce and gabbana zebra print purse. I love it!!

Chris has spoiled me pretty much this entire month. He really surprised me with a new ipod and a new phone. I am such a lucky girl to have such a great husband.
For my birthday dinner Chris took me out to the Franciscan. It was delicious with an amazing view! We then went to the movie The Proposal. I love it! I laughed my face off. It is definitely one I would like to own.

Alamo Sqaure

The other day we found Alamo Square where the infamous houses of full house reside. It is quite picturesque. I love the cute, quaint, colorful little homes. I loved this show as a kid and watched it often.

Giants vs. Rangers

Friday night for date night Chris and I went to the Giants vs. Rangers game. It was my first pro. baseball game ever and our first pro baseball game together. This is us waiting to catch the muni. The muni is a form of public transportation in San Francisco. It's great! Especially since parking is a nightmare. We each bought a Giants hat to wear to the game and support our new hometown team.

I loved lou seal. I tried to get my picture with him but he is a very busy seal so a picture of him will have to do. (Maybe next time.)

We had a great time at the game. It was alittle back and forth but the Giants pulled it out and won 6-4. We had great seats but there really isn't a bad seat in the entire stadium. Go GIANTS!

some of the sites...

One of the sites to see in San Francisco is Coit Tower. Here I am in front of the tower sitting by the statue of Christopher Columbus.

These next few photos are the specatular views to be seen from the top of Coit Tower.

The picture above is the notorious view where my father proposed to my mother 25 years ago.

The rest of these pictures are of Lumbard St. famous for being the curviest road in the U.S. I love all of the beautiful flowers.

Riding Horses at Papa Jeff's

While we were home visiting before moving to San Francisco we stayed with Papa Jeff and Mimi (aka Lisa). Jeff and Lisa took Chris and I on a great horse ride, which I loved. It made me miss the fact that we won't be in Jackson this summer when I can freely go riding whenever I want.

Chris on the other hand doesn't exactly share my enthusiasm for riding and has only been riding a very few times. So needless to say the 4 hour horse ride down a steep mountain with a big stubborn horse wasn't his absolute favorite thing. I was a little worried that after the experience he would never want to ride again. Surprisingly, few days later all the family was over taking turns riding horses and Chris just jumped right on like it was no big thing.

We had a really fun time staying with Jeff and Lisa, we rode horses, four wheelers, ate lots of great food... and of course the wonderfully addictive Guitar Hero tournaments until the wee hours of the night. Grandpa Gary even found a new favorite toy. He loved driving that tractor. He looked good doing it to.

We loved spending time with our two adorable nephews. We sure did miss them while we were away in Hawaii.

11 inches

I cut my hair!!

Before................................ After

I have always wanted to donate my hair to locks of love. I had been wanting a change. So I finally got brave and just did it. A whole 11 inches. I did some research online and found out that locks of love will now accept colored and permed hair, they need at least 10 inches to do a whole head piece but they can use less if any of you are thinking of donating.

It was so liberating to do something so drastic. I am really loving my new look.
