Catching up

Wow, it's been a long time since I last blogged. I keep meaning to, but then life happens. Better late than never right!

I'm not even going to try to catch up chronologically or anything. I'll just post some pics that I finally downloaded from my camera :)

Back in May, W and I celebrated our sixth anniversary. For a variety of reasons (mostly related to needing to be around for our families), we weren't able to take a trip to celebrate. First time we've missed an anniversary trip since we got married, but I think that's a pretty good track record. W got me some pretty flowers and a really sweet card (who knew an engineer could write such lovely prose--I think he's even surprised himself!). Of course, we didn't skip celebrating with food :) We headed back to one of our favorite local restaurants, Ming Tsai's Blue Ginger. I finally tried one of his signature dishes, a black pepper garlic lobster. Unfortunately, it wasn't as good as I expected--one of his other signature dishes, a butterfish, is much better--but overall we had a great meal. We chatted with a few couples at tables by ours and four of us in a row were all celebrating anniversaries. It is a special occasion kind of restaurant but it was still pretty funny. We were the youngest couple by probably at least a decade (both in age and married years) but that will be us in time!
