Ding, Ding -- Second Round!

"Suns top Blazers 99-90 and move on to face Spurs"

The Suns were up by 15 points last night when Tommy turned on the game...as we flipped back and forth we were stressing because the Suns were starting to lose their heads as well as their lead. HOWEVER, they snapped out of it to win their round one series--only to move on to the bloody San Antonio Spurs! This is our year! GO SUNS!

If this is love, pour me another glass...

I recently celebrated my 24th birthday! But this year was unlike any other--I actually loved my birthday! All thanks to this guy:

1. He surprised me with my favorite breakfast sandwich from McDonald's! Yes!

2. He finally let me in on what our activity of the day was--a 1.5 hour massage!

3. Once we got home I was surprised by a load of presents.

4. We enjoyed lunch together.

5. He took me birthday shopping--and was very patient--like he ALWAYS is.

6. We went to one of our most favorite Italian spots--Vincitorio's.

7. Finally, I got to open all my gifts! (which were wrapped in gift bags from our wedding--haha!)

The boy sure knows how to pick amazing cards!

These are sock monkey slippers--SO cute!

UP! I love this movie!

ANTHRO GIFT CARD--I'm making a monster face.

Cute Moccasins.

Our traditional gift--Mexican Coke.

My hero!

Tommy surprised me with one final gift--a cd with his own recordings! I love it! I love him! I have never felt so doted upon. He made my birthday so special, he made ME feel so special.

Tommy THANK YOU for everything you've done for me. I appreciate all of the time and effort you put in to planning my birthday. Thank you for all of your thoughtful gifts--and meals. You know me better than I know myself--and I love that. I love you!
