Party!!

I can't believe we didn't take a single picture last night, but the party with my Prestonwood friends was a blast! Tom, Sonia, Bill, Dan, Mickey, Pam, DL, Natalie, Roger and Susie all came and it was wonderful seeing everyone. It had been toooooo long since we had gotten together.

Steve's homemade salsa and queso were a big hit and I think everyone enjoyed the evening. We spent time out by the pool (it was a beautiful night) and we even lit the pinion wood fire pit briefly. It was a gorgeous night.

After everyone went home, Steve and I did a quick basic clean up and then hit the pool. It was a late night, but so much fun. Another first with Steve... our first party together. :)

P.S. These are the gorgeous flowers that Steve brought that set the perfect touch for our party!! :)

Update on My Life

Well, it's been a busy month for me... but soooooo much fun!! Steve and I are quite an item now and we have been seeing each other almost every day (when he doesn't have to work in the evenings). He is such a hard working guy!

We have done regular dates and just run errands together. Always so compatible and having such a good time together. We are planning a party for Friday evening after work with old friends from Prestonwood so they can see my new house. Steve made homemade salsa last night and we are planning a fun evening with everyone. I can't wait for them to meet him. :)

I had a fun trip to San Francisco for a work-related conference. I'll try to post pictures this weekend when I have a minute.

More to come after the party!! :)

Looking forward...

... to date night tomorrow!!

We're going to go to dinner and then to Adventure Landing in Richardson for miniature golf. Should be a fun evening. :)

Really Nice Day!

We had a great day today! I visited Custer Road United Methodist Church in Plano this morning and then Steve and I went to lunch afterwards. We were in southwest Plano, so I took him on a tour of my old 'hood. It was fun looking at everything through fresh eyes. LOTS of changes. (I can't believe I didn't take pictures.) Oh, well.

Then, we headed to the mall just to walk around before Steve had to go to work this afternoon. We were still dressed up from church, so we decided to take our "first" pictures. :)

Like the title of this post says... It was a really nice day!

Dove Chocolate Quote for the Day

"There are 86,400 seconds in a day. Have you used one of them to say 'thank you?'"

Love that!

Date Night!

Had so much fun tonight. Steve picked me up about 7 and we stopped for Dickey's BBQ and then went for a long walk at McKinney Town Lake Park. It was a beautiful evening and we watched a little local community baseball, laughed at the cute kiddos being cheerleaders and cheering for their dads, and then finished walking all around the lake. It was really humid outside and so we decided to go back to my house and jump in the pool. It was a gorgeous night. Such fun. (And... we decided to change our FB status) :)

What a Fabulous Day!

It was my last vacation day for a while and I had such a nice relaxing, lazy day and lunch with SJD. Wwwwwonderful!

:)

Great Weekend!

I had such a fun weekend... I took a couple of days off and went to White Deer again, but this time for a baby shower for the daughter of some really precious friends. She's having identical twin girls, Raegan, and Ryleigh. It was a sea of pinkness and jungle animals. Everything was sooooo cute (in duplicate!) Here are some pics of the shower.

I also got to spend some quality time with Dad. Here are a few pics from life at the farm. :)

When I got home, Steve stopped by and we had a great time just hanging out. Now, I have one more day of vacation today. I'm just gonna kick back and enjoy the day

It was a very HAPPY, fun weekend! :)

Sweetness...

I received the sweetest surprise in my mailbox this morning... From a special person named Steve... Puts a smile on my face!

Vacation day!!

I'm so excited to have a couple of vacation days this week. Today has started off great with sleeping in... Swimming and getting a little sun... Now I'm getting ready to go do a little shopping.... New clothes, smaller size. Taking old clothes to The Samaritan Inn shelter. What's better than that?

Yay for vacation days!

Falling asleep...

I fell sound asleep last night with the lights on, tv blaring, and Max (my puppy) in my room instead of his. When I woke up at 4:30 a.m., Max was whining and some goofy infomercial was trying to convince the audience that their special face cream would change their lives. So... I got up and brushed my teeth, put Max to bed, read a sweet email from SJD, set the tv sleep timer... Now already for bed... And I'm WIDE awake!!! ON MY VACATION DAY! Bummer... :(

Grown Ups...

Steve and I went to see "Grown Ups" tonight and it was pretty funny. Just a great, light-hearted kind of movie to laugh at and enjoy. Adam Sandler movies tend to be right up my alley. Good times! Great date night. More pretty roses. :)

Fun evening...

I had a little surprise this evening when Steve came by to pick up some of my left-over moving boxes for his daughter's move this weekend. We had Sonic soft drinks, watched a little tv and had a good time hanging out for a couple of hours. Such a nice surprise for a regular ol' week night. :)

Fun weekend...

Went to see fireworks yesterday at Craig Ranch. We walked around the park that afternoon and looked at cars on display at the Pat Lobb car show. Really, there was only one truly cool car. It was a 1928 Chevy Coupe in original condition. It had never been restored. The only thing new on it was a set of spark plugs and a replaced set of old white-walled tires. It was this interesting green color with the original gold stripes on all the surfaces that needed detailing. The original upholstery was in place and the original wooden steering wheel. The windshield was about 10 inches tall with a single tiny windshield wiper. Also, there was a jump seat in the back. And... it was a convertible with its original canvas roof. If you can't tell, I really enjoyed hearing about this car. :)

Today was restful and fun. I just hung out at the house this morning. Then met Steve for lunch and he was so sweet to install my license plate on the front of my car so I won't get another warning or ticket when I go to White Deer next weekend. He saw the house and then came back later to swim and then we went to dinner at Brooklyn's.

Yay for long weekends!! :)
