Our First Anniversary

It is hard to believe that Eric and I have been married for 1 year now! We have had a whirlwind of excitement in the first year since moving to California and starting married life. The first year of marriage went by so fast, but we enjoyed all of the new experiences together. There will be many more years of happiness together.

To celebrate our anniversary, Eric surprised me with a trip to Farallon, a nice restaurant in San Francisco near Union Square. We enjoyed a three-course meal and champagne. It was a wonderful dining experience. On Sunday, I surprised Eric with tickets to a San Francisco Giants game. It was a great day for baseball in the Bay! The weather was great, and we enjoyed watching the Giants beat the Arizona Diamondbacks. We had a wonderful weekend of marriage celebration. We are truly blessed!

Go Giants!

Walnofers Come to Visit

I'm quite behind on my posts, but I am trying to catch up before we leave for China...

At the end of April, Scott & Kristen Walnofer came to visit us in Palo Alto before they moved back to Arkansas in May. We had a great time showing them around Palo Alto and Stanford University. We ate at many different restaurants including a Mongolian hot pot and Japanese dessert restaurant in San Mateo and Calafia, which is the former Google chef's restaurant, in Palo Alto. All of the culinary experiences can be found on Scott's wonderful blog. The recent culinary school grad describes the dining experiences very well. We also went to Half Moon Bay to enjoy a day at the beach. It was such a beautiful day there. Overall, it was a great time with friends. Eric and I are sad that they left California, but we wish them the best back home in Arkansas!
