Anniversary

So last week Nick and I had our third anniversary! We celebrated by going to The Tower of the America's for dinner. It is like the space needle of san antonio. It looks very similar and has the rotating restaurant at the top looking over downtown sa. The food was great and even though sa is no Seattle it was still a great view from the top!

Here is a pic of one of the roses from the dozen that Nick gave me for our anniversary!

Three years ago, May 11, 2006, outside the Portland, Oregon LDS Temple.

Nothing New

Just writing to say sorry that I haven't been writing. One reason is that we haven't really done anything blog worthy lately. Nick started up at USAA and has been working for almost two weeks now. We have been hanging out with friends and relaxing. Nick has been on a pasta kick lately and has made raviolli and two different types of tortellini dishes that were pretty good! He definitely enjoys fresh pasta using the pasta maker. Unfortunately we have different tastes when it comes to the broth. It is a good thing we know how to make a good alfredo! Here is a pic of the chicken tortellini before they were cooked.

Another reason I haven't written is that my computer has been wiped clean for a fresh start and since Nick has not been feeling well lately it is taking a while to get it back to working order. I am not completely computer illiterate but since a lot of the driver discs are missing Nick decided he would take on the task of finding and downloading them all. Thanks Nick!

Lately we haven't been going out much but when we do get out we like to explore all the different restaurants around here. We went to a new one that we really like called Freebirds. It is similar to Chipotle but I like it because not everything is spicy! It is also really close to our house and pretty inexpensive. I can get three chicken hard tacos, chips, salsa and a drink for only six bucks! Did I mention that it tastes great too!

So I am really excited for my mom and sister to visit at the end of July! They have their plane tickets and I have already started planning all the fun activities we are going to do. I hope they are ready for the heat because it is already so humid and hot I can't imagine what July will be like. Here a few of the fun places we are going to visit:

The Alamo

Sea World!

Palladium Movie Theater to see Harry Potter 6

The Riverwalkand Rudy's Bar-B-Q,just to name a few. I sure we will also be hanging out by the pool and possibly making a few crafts in my air conditioned apartment! I can't wait!

I am also excited for this weekend because we will be celebrating our third anniversary! It is an odd year (2009) so Nick is in charge of the planning. He insists that we have the day activities on Saturday and then dinner on our actual anniversary which is Monday. I can't wait to see what he has planned!

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Jon and Sabrina for their new addition, Addison!

Plans and More Plans

We have been super busy the past week and a half looking for houses and getting everything officially registered in Texas (with the occasional sea world or game night) and I think finally everything is coming together. We have made a lot of decisions and are ready to get everything started. Nick is excited to finally be a full employee and get all the benefits that USAA has to offer. I am really hoping our housing plans all work. I am even going to start working on a business! More news to come later. Have a good week!!

Graduated and Hired

Nick is now a college graduate and has been officially hired on at USAA. He starts back up on April 27th! (if he passes the drug test) He has been off this week so we have been searching for houses and playing our new card game Killer Bunnies! We are totally addicted to the game now and can't wait to play it with some of our friends!! More info on the house search later!

Mediterranean Grill

This Mediterranean Grill was nummy. We will definitely be going there again!

This little market next to the grill had Nick's favorite apricot crossaints that he used to eat everyday in Italy. They also almost had the right kind of flour for Nick's italian pizza but it was ground up just a little too thin. The search continues! It is amazing to live in a big city where you can find anything you want if you just know where to look. Definitely a few steps up from Rexburg where you couldn't find anything within 800 miles of the place.
