Rainforest Cafe

On our trip to the Riverwalk in San Antonio, we ended the day with an evening at The Rainforest Cafe. The dinner was good, the dessert was awesome, but the decor is what made it worth the money. We had never been and since we don't go out to eat very often, the girls were in amazement the whole time. If you have never been...the walls and ceiling are crawling with vines and trees and have animals like elephants, snakes, and butterflies here and there. About every 15 minutes, the place would get really dark, with audio of a thunderstorm. Every time you heard the lightening "strike" the lights would flash, the animals would start "squaking and trumpeting" and their bodies would move.

Our Table...

We recieved our old table from Todd's parents when we got married 12 years ago. Mrs. Northrup and I went and chose material, I bought it and she covered it and made them look really nice. They are now going back to her house, because I got a new table. The girls, I think, are more in love with it than I am...but I do like it a lot. Very much my style. I don't know what I am going to think of having a wood top vs. a glass top...but boy that glass top was a pain to keep clean. Here is to hoping this one stays nice!

It's Good to Be King!

That's right! I am getting a King Size bed! Wooo Hooo! I used to fight Todd on getting a TV in our bedroom...I wanted it to be a place of quiet for me to read! I finally relented a few years back and I love it. On most nights, all four of us hop in our bed for a family movie. Lately, we have been watching Little House on the Prairie. We bought all 10 seasons on DVD and watch one episode a night. We all love it! This will give us room to stretch out and be close, yet a little more comfortable.

It should be in here in 3 to 6 weeks!

We bought 2 of these!

I currently don't have a dresser, so my closet will be seeing some relief! Cant wait! I don't know why this chest looks miniature, but it is actually VERY large. 55"...but it looks so tiny in the pic that we had to double check.

My new earworm is It's Good to Be King by Tom Petty. I don't list him as one of my favorites when asked, but I really do like his stuff.

It's good to be king, if just for a while
To be there in velvet, yeah, to give 'em a smile
It's good to get high, and never come down
It's good to be king of your own little town

Yeah, the world would swing if I were king
Can I help it if I still dream time to time

It's good to be king and have your own way
Get a feeling of peace at the end of the day
And when your bulldog barks and your canary sings
You're out there with winners, yeah, it's good to be king
