Lucky #7

Danny and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary at Ruth's Chris last night. We did an early dinner right after work so we could get home to see Ashlyn before she went to bed. Here are some pics of what we happily devoured--

This was the really, really good dessert we had-caramelized banana cream pie.

Above is what Danny got- Surf and Turf. I just had the petite fillet. How can you not like a steak brought out to you on a plate sizzling in butter.

It definitely was a good thing that our reservations were at 5:30 because we had some time to digest our food before we went to bed.

We don't splurge this big on a meal often, but it sure was worth it!!

The scenery was nice too. We ate at the location downtown and saw a family of dolphins going up the river. That was pretty cool too.

Happy Father's Day!!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads. I've been very fortunate in my life to have a wonderful dad and a husband who is a great dad as well.

My dad has been a really good example to me. Even though my brothers and I give him a hard time a lot, it is all out of love. I'm definitely a daddy's girl.

Danny has really amazed me since we've had Ashlyn. He's always loved kids, but he has really stepped right into the Dad role for her. Their is no doubt how much he loves his little girl. I have a feeling that she may be pretty spoiled (just as I was. :) )

Happy Father's Day again to the two most important men in my life.

P.S.- I'll have to do a mom post soon since I forgot to at Mother's Day for her (I guess the cooties i had made me forget).

Ashlyn's Room

Anyone who knows me will say that I'm not exactly a big decorator. I would love my house to be nicely made up. But, I'm not good at it and get stressed out when I try. So, I end up avoiding it. That results in lots of bare walls, windows, etc.

But, for Ashlyn's room, I did make an attempt. I still have a little empty wall space to figure out what to do with, but I think it's pretty good. See my pics:

(the furniture came from all over: Crib- USA Baby, Changing Table- Babies R Us, Dresser- Ashley furniture, Bookshelf- Target)






The item above Ashlyn's changing table is something my coworker's did. It says Baby Ashlyn and then in the white they all wrote very nice notes (they gave it to me at my shower).


Look how happy she is to be in her room.

Update

So, I'd better do a quick update so that my Ankle Envy post isn't at the top. Apparently my male readers thought it was a little odd. So, I've been given a hard time by them. It's ok though.

Danny flew to Atlanta Thursday night for a training class last Friday. The one thing I really like about Atlanta is the MARTA system. It goes directly into the Airport, so you usually don't even need to rent a car if your staying downtown or near a station.

The company that sold Danny's company their new software is actually headquartered in Provo. They do a training once a quarter in Atlanta though.

Copyfax (danny's work) also had a company picnic on Saturday at Camp Blanding on Kingley lake. It was a nice time. Really nice weather. Ashlyn and I enjoyed getting in the lake and Danny got competitive with horseshoes.

That's it for now. Maybe something exciting will happen this weekend. :0)

Ankle Envy

OK. This may be really weird but I thought I'd say it anyways. I have ankle envy!! I guess I should explain. My whole life I've had "almost cankles". My legs just come close to going straight to my feet. I don't have the nice skinny ankles like a lot of people. (Even when I was 20lbs lighter than I am now, it was that way)

I thought of this today as I was walking out of work and the lady in front of me had really skinny nice ankles. She overall was heavier than I am, but still had pretty ankles. Why was I cursed?

I say this partly joking and partly serious. Don't get me wrong, I have lots of insecurities about my body, but this one thing is something that I actually notice about other people and say "I wish I had her ankles".

So, after this odd post, I'll ask my readers, does anyone else have a weird or odd "Envy" or is it just me?
