Ecelctic Eye Private Party

I had the honor of being asked to do a cupcake tower for the best eye wear shop in Memphis, Eclectic Eye. They were having a Mardi Gras themed party that was invite only for their very special customers. So fun!

Valentine's Day

Joe and I spent Valentine's day doing the thing that we love to do best...hang out together! After a yummy lunch at Holiday Ham, we headed to the zoo. We are members and love to go watch the monkeys and polar bears. We made friends with a very nice cockatoo who came down off her branch specifically to speak with us. After that we drove through Central Gardens admiring all of the beautiful houses. We picked up Chinese food and came home to eat and watch our favorite show, "Supernatural". It was a very perfect, low key day...exactly what we needed.

Beef and Beatles!

For Joe's 30th birthday, we went to Texas de Brazil and to see Rain! (Beatles tribute band) at The Orpheum. This was our first time to eat at Texas de Brazil and it was so yummy! The salad bar was awesome...we cannot wait to try out the Sunday brunch. Rain! was SO GOOD! What a neat experience. Joe and I sang along to every song. It was the next best thing to being with the actual Beatles. We ran into Uncle Billy and Aunt Anne and Lisa and Craig. I felt like my mom was there dancing along with us!!

Metal Museum with Drew and Michelle

Joe and I went with Drew and Michelle to the Memphis Ornamental Metal Museum last Saturday for Joe's birthday. There is a really neat old hospital there that we know is haunted. Joe went and asked if we could go in. They said we could not go in, but we could walk around the buildings....spooky!!

Thailand...Here I Come!!

One of our good friends, "Little Joe", will be there for the whole month of March. I have 9 days off from school and with Joe's nifty airline discount, I thought "Why not?!". I will be leaving on March 14. I am not sure if Joe is coming. It will all depend on his schedule. I cannot wait to pet tigers, ride elephants, play with monkeys, get massages every day, and just relax on the beautiful beaches.
