My 32nd birthday

I had a very special treat for my birthday--my friend LeeAnn made a last minute business trip to LA from Madrid so we got to spend some time together! It was great seeing my friend from across the world that I had just seen a month before!

Happy Birthday Eddie!

Today is our friend Eddie's birthday. Chris and Eddie have been friends since Kindergarten as you can see in the pictures below. Chris is on the far left and Eddie is next to him.

We took Eddie and his wife Jessica (my travel parter in Spain--more on that soon!) to the Smoky Mountains during the peak fall leaf color. Eddie really loves photography so this was a great opportunity for him to take some great pictures! Here we are on the Cherohala Skyway in Tennessee.

We then took Eddie and Jessica to a Vols game and I think I can officially say they are both UT fans now!

My 30th birthday

I am so behind on blogging, but I'm determined to not miss a thing. My 30th birthday was a great day (month) of celebration! I spent a week in Spain with a friend--I will definitely post about this later! I also had some friends come in to town to celebrate with me during a weekend that I will never forget.

The weekend before my birthday Chris surprised me with a trip to Santa Barbara to the Bacara. We spent a few days at the Bacara after our wedding so this place has a lot of meaning to us.

On Saturday we visited the La Purisima Mission. For those of you not familiar with California history, missions were built by Spanish Catholics between 1769-1823 to spread the Christian faith to Native Americans. There are 21 Franciscan missions in California and I hope to visit them all eventually. La Purisima was founded in 1787 and what remains today is a few restored buildings and some animals.

That night we had dinner at San Ysidro Ranch which was delicious! The next morning we had breakfast in bed--my favorite!
