The other day I took pids out before going out to dinner with Tom and realized I’d locked Isabelle out on the balcony. Thank goodness I saw her there on my way back in.

Tom’s parents came to visit us for the weekend so we decided to eat brunch at the Farmers Market Restaurant today. Michael had eaten there before and recommended it, I’m so glad he did because we really enjoyed it. They’ve got some antique farm equipment and tractors, and murals on the walls. I even got to take a picture of Mr. Taylor by one.

This post is a little belated but I wanted didn’t want to skip it. A couple weeks ago I got to meet up with my friends Kelly and Erin at Southpoint Mall. Kelly also brought her son Nigel along, I couldn’t believe how big he’s gotten since I last saw him.
We had lunch at Cheesecake factory and then did a little shopping. It was so good to have see them again, I’ve been missing my Wilmington friends more than I thought. Hopefully we can get together again soon.

This past Friday Tom and I went to the NC Zoo in Asheboro, the last time I’d gone was when I was in elementary school.
We had a great time, it was so nice to get away and spend the whole day together since I’ve been so busy with work and getting settled into my new life here in Raleigh.
I had forgotten how HUGE the zoo is! It took us 4 hours to go from one end to the other and we still didn’t have time to see everything.
This polar bear was so cute, he looked so sleepy. He kept nodding off watching all the people through the glass.
Tom the buffalo whisperer.
This bear was so funny, he was chilling out near a cave, then decided he was hot and sauntered over to the pond and just plopped down in there. He stayed in this spot for a while cooling off.
Seeing the gorillas was pretty exciting, there were a couple females sitting on a rock near us and then all of a sudden the big male ran over and confronted them for some reason. At first it looked like he was going to run right into glass separating us and their habitat. He was MASSIVE.
The elephants were pretty cute too.
We had a great day, and took some great pictures. Tom’s are really great, hopefully he’ll post some on his blog soon.

On May 5, 2000 Tom and I went on our first date. Â We had been friends for a while but weren’t really official till then. It was my college graduation and Tom came with my family to eat afterward the ceremony, then we went to see Gladiator in the movie theater.
We figured this past Wednesday was our unofficial 10 year anniversary so we decided to celebrate. Â I had the day off work so we decided to relax and check out a few thrift stores. Â We went to dinner at Red Lobster but almost didn’t make it, we’re so used to eating dinner late due to our work schedules that we forgot they stop serving dinner at 10pm and got there a just in time.
So here we are, 10 years later, back together and living in Raleigh. Without writing a book, there are a million reasons that I’m grateful for our relationship and how we’ve grown together and changed each other’s lives for the better since we met. I’m so glad we got to share this time together.
