birthday lunch

a special day that only comes around once a year (less than that if you ask her...) is diana's birthday!  we didn't really have the chance to do too much since i had to go to work like every other day, but we did get the chance to slip away together for a couple hours and enjoy a fancy lunch together.
we always have such a good time hanging out, especially when its just the two of us for a special occasion!  its another year gone by, but you wouldn't know it by looking at her, she's even more beautiful now than when we were dating!  i'm such a lucky guy...

dide dogs

we were asked a while ago by my aunt and uncle if we would like to dogsit for them while they went away on vacation for a week.  um, yes please!  well, the week finally came and we were all three thrilled to stay there for a few days and spend some time with their crazy cute dogs.  and by that i mean they are crazy and they are cute!
when we first got there it took them a couple hours to get used to us, but once they did they were thrilled by the company: new people to pester!  we had a really great time, enjoying the beautiful forest view and deck in their back yard and spending some time with those awesome dogs!
feel free to go on vacation any time- we've got the dogs covered!

rockin' luau

with working a lot of saturdays it's been hard to get out and actually have a life.  well, this weekend diana and ledger headed down to south bend to visit her family and friends early and when i got out of work i headed down too.  one of the special events that we were both looking forward to was a fun night of music at a bar in niles.  it was a blast even though i got there well into the festivities.  when i did get there diana was so excited to see it- it was like she hadn't seen me in days!  oh, that right, she hadn't...  for some reason miranda and levi brought some props to the party:  they had grass skirts and coconut bras for anyone who wanted them.  strange, i know.  but it did add a very fun element to the evening!  and let me tell ya, you haven't lived until you've seen levi hula dance...
