I love you, Mattie.


All the walls just fall away
Feeling stronger every day
I can see it in your eyes
When you laugh when you cry

This is more than summer wind
This is nowhere I have been
You have made me unafraid
Just to stay

If all I heard was your promise
And all you felt was my touch
If all we had was each other
We'd have enough, enough

All the drifting wounded hearts
Wish for love on distant stars
I was lost so many years
Now I'm found 'cause you are here

So just look at me again
'Cause now you're my everything
I could never ask for more
So it's enough, yeah it's enough

If all I heard was your promise
And all you felt was my touch
If all we had was each other
We'd have enough, enough

I've been holding on for so long
To all these static dreams
But now I know I can let 'em go
I don't need anything

If all I heard was your promise
And all you felt was my touch
If all we had was each other
We'd have enough
If all I heard was your promise
And all you felt was my touch
If all we had was each other
We'd have enough

Ghirardelli Square

All I can say is YUM. And that our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. We BOTH got a Sundae & couldn't even finish!! It was so good though! I wish I could have taken it in a doggy bag, but I am afraid the end result wouldn't have been so glam.

San Fran!

Mattie and I had a blast in San Francisco!! It was the perfect vacation for us this year and we are already planning to go back. We did all the tourist stuff (Golden Gate Bridge, Sausalito, Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, Ghiradelli Square, Chinatown, Lombard Street, etc.) BUT one of our favorite days was driving from San Fran to Carmel down highway 1 by the Pacific Ocean. It was BEAUTIFUL and neither of us had ever seen those beaches. We went thru Santa Cruz and went to Pebble Beach where we were able to get out and look at the golf course. This was really neat for both of us and I wish Mattie could have played! He was dying to (but the green fees are realllly expensive, so not this time :) ) Anyway, we got to take pics and see where they will play the 2010 US Open which was neat. We also spent the first night we were there at a Giants game. It was awesome! The Giants killed the Astros-- 13-0! Such a fun time! Awesome trip--, a wonderful anniversary trip that we were both so blessed on!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!
