Remember Me?

The Dining Diva has been a bad blogger.  I'm going to do my best to re-cap all of the wonderful events that have taken place over the past few months.  I just can't believe that it's November.  Apparently summer has been finished for awhile now, fall is on its way out and the holiday season is basically here.  As my grandfather told me the other day, "Time waits for no man."  He's right.  And it seems like the past two years have just flown by since I've met Tim.  Actually, tomorrow, November 6, 2010, marks the two year anniversary of our first date!  So sweet and exciting, I know!  :)  And to think, I almost didn't go on the date.  (It was a Match.com date and I was nervous and wondering why I was forcing myself to go on a date with a could-be killer on a Thursday night when all I wanted to do was sit on my coach and relax.  Three glasses of wine later, I was on my way to meet the love of my life. Crazy.) So we are going to celebrate tomorrow by going to a college football game and then enjoy sangria and mexican at the restaurant where we first met. (Back story on the importance of sangria: Tim ordered it on our first date and I had never heard of it before, {I obviously don't get out much} so I was impressed with his knowledge and assumed he was cultured.  Which he is, actually, and continues to teach me new things on a daily basis. I think intelligence is so sexy! Okay so that's what we're doing tomorrow.

So back to the past few months. Every weekend we had something going on ranging from sun bathing and booze cruising at my parent's lake house to bridal showers and weddings.  It was a fun-filled summer and early fall!  I want to post photos from all of the weddings for you.  But at this point, I don't have any of those photos on my work computer.  I couldn't post this without something good for you to look at, so here are some random photos. Hope to get back into the blogging game and upload some photos from the summer for you.  (BTW, I never stopped reading your blogs.  They get me through my work days.  And I love them all.)

Here's Tim with my sister's doggy, Bella. She is the sweetest muffin ever and everyone loves her.

This is the most beautiful and wonderful mother in the world, mine! We celebrated her big 5-0 birthday this September.  Isn't she a babe?  And she really is the greatest mom anyone could ever ask for.

Here's the gang outside the restaurant we went to for her birthday.  From left to right we have my parents, sister and her now X boyfriend, me and Tim.
