May highlights

The month of May was great. James and I finished up the Spring semester and both got very good grades. We enjoyed a week or two with no classes before the summer term began for the both of us. And we celebrated both of our birthdays. For James' birthday, I took him to see his favorite band play, the Toadies. It was a good show, but I have to say, I felt really old!

I had a really great birthday this year. It started off with an office party for my boss and I (we have the same birthday). We went out to lunch at TGI Friday's and had an AWESOME cake!

I can't believe I'm 25! It is a strange feeling to think that ten years ago, I was 15 years old and thought that I knew everything in the world. I would have never imagined that my life would be where it is now. I consider myself very lucky. I have a GREAT husband, loving family, good job, I've had great opportunities for education, and I have so much joy because I have the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. I am truly blessed and I enjoy sharing that with those around me.

When I came from work that day, I noticed something new in our apartment...a beautiful kitchen table! James and I had looked at some furniture for fun a few weeks back, and he secretly bought it and set it up as a birthday surprise for me. I absolutely love it, and I am grateful for a hubby that is sweet enough to think of surprises to make me happy. This is a picture of what it looks like with the leaf in the table-although you can take it out and it becomes a circle shape. Perfect size for us.



Then we went to San Antonio to celebrate my birthday with my family. We went to the San Antonio zoo (which I haven't been to in forever) and had a lot of fun doing that. Then we got to meet my brother's new girlfriend and see a movie with them, which was a lot of fun. They are very cute together and I'm glad that my brother is happy-he deserves it!


Later that evening we got to go eat a delicious birthday dinner with my family in the Tower of the Americas. The restaurant is at the top and it rotates so you get to see an amazing view of the entire city. The sun went down while we were up there and it was awesome!

Here is us in the courtyard area in front of the tower. It looked so beautiful.

A great view of the San Antonio skyline.

We also went up to the observation deck and saw the city skyline at night. It was a great end to a great evening. I am grateful for family and friends that make me feel special!
