Some birthday pics

Here are some pics from my birthday celebration the other night:










Tomorrow evening, Rebecca and I will be heading back west. We've had a lovely trip and have enjoyed so much time with Rebecca's Grammy. At the same time, however, we've missed Ramy a whole lot. It will be a great thing when I am no longer separated by the North American continent from someone I love! I can't wait until we are moving back here for good.

We've had some problems with allergies, but otherwise it has been a great trip. Poor Rebecca - the Singulair and Zyrtec had gotten things under control until we had her confronted with a whole new set of allergens. She had a really runny nose and watery eyes for a couple of days, and I've also had a full-blown allergy attack, as has my mom.

We arrived on Thursday afternoon, ate lunch at Bread & Company, and headed back to Fayetteville so Rebecca and I could get our hair cut. It costs a third of what I pay for my hair cut in Chino Hills, and Faron cuts mine and Rebecca's. That evening, we ate at Cahoots in Fayetteville. Friday, we went to Huntsville and bought some things for the shower and did a bit of shopping. Saturday, we were getting ready for the shower and then we had my birthday dinner at Macaroni Grill in Huntsville. Sunday (my birthday!), we went to church and then had the bridal tea for Shanna. The a/c was out in the church, so it was hot and humid. We were exhausted afterward, but it was a very nice event. We ate dinner in Huntsville at Cantina Laredo. Monday, mom, Rebecca and I went to Nashville and went shopping in Green Hills. We bought a lot of beautiful things for Rebecca at Janie & Jack and The Little Cottage, plus some things for ourselves! Tuesday, we had lunch with Tim and Shanna and then dinner with the Girl Posse. Wednesday, we went to Nashville with Aunt Margaret to get some things for their trip. Today, we took Aunt Margaret to a doctor appointment, went to the chiropractor, and met Molly, Jack, Brenda, Lisa, and Terry for lunch at O'Houlihans. We showed Rebecca off to a lot of people, but of course there are always more people that I wanted to visit but didn't get a chance to see.

I've got more pics from the trip that I'll upload after I get back home.
