Birthday celebrations...

As I mentioned in my last post, my mom was coming to San Antonio for a visit.  We had a fantastic time shopping for some home furnishings, decorating the house, sewing some pillow covers, cooking, and just hanging out.  There are a couple of highlights to mention too.  For our birthdays we went to see Symphony Fantastique at the Majestic Theater in downtown San Antonio... It was quite the adventure, as we forgot cash for the parking garage and had to do some quick improvisation, but thankfully we made it to our seats on time. Here we are all dolled up for a night at the symphony.  I have to say, we are looking pretty good for 35 and 65!  :)  The music was amazing and the venue is incredible!!  The Majestic Theater is  definitely a sight to see if you ever visit San Antonio.  Here is one side of it, with its faux windows and door fronts, which are on the other side as well.  The ceiling even has perforations to make it seem as if you are outdoors and the stars are out.  It is pretty cool and I want to see some other events there for sure.

In addition to the Majestic Theater outing, Michael, my mom and I went to this awesome Brazilian steakhouse for our birthdays.  I think I am in love...  It was one of the best meals I have ever had.  I almost mention it every time Michael asks "What do you want for dinner"?

It was so sad to take my mom to the airport, but alas, it was back to work and back to life.  Over the past few weeks, Michael and I have steadily been making small improvements to the house, and making it our own.  I also passed my Certified Clinical Nurse Specialist exam yesterday, so now I can squeeze a little more money out of the Army every month for being nationally board certified!  Yeah!  Now, it is time to get ready for my dad and Carolyn's visit over Thanksgiving.  :)  This will be our second turkey day in a row, and I need to get on the ball with ordering the turkey and planning the menu!

Anyhow, just making an effort to keep this thing updated!
