News: We just celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary, and it is the biggest accomplishment ever, if only you knew. Last night, we had dinner at Toscano's Seafood and Steak restaurant. It was intimate, Italian, small, cozy, and good...it seemed to foster/encourage conversation. Our first time there. A good thing to do on a Sunday night when one often gets SUNDAY NIGHT FUNKY CHANGE GEARS MOOD. :) I had a prawn gorgonzola ravioli with hazelnut thing, and Chris had some pasta with kalamata olives and sun dried tomatoes, and onion soup. Good times! We're also in the process of planning a trip to Mexico, in May or early June. We have never gone anywhere amazing together, not even for our honeymoon. So this is a big deal! Thinking Cozumel....

Anyone ever had a herniated disc? This is my reality right now, and it's a real pain in the keister, literally. I am going to have a cortisone shot on the 15th, and I can't wait!! I hope it does wonders.
