A night out with D!

We went out in Scottsdale Friday night to celebrate Deanna's birthday. We went to a blow dry bar first wchich was really fun and then we walked over for sushi happy hour which woulda been dinner had we had better service. We went to Sting Ray to try something new, but I think next time we will go back to Ra which is my favorite. Then we did a little shopping and finally ended our night at cheesecake factory where we split a fabulous cheesecake. It was a fun night out.

Now I will write a bit about how Deanna and I met. It was 1987 and we were about to begin our freshman year at ASU. I had a knock on my door and I opened it in my robe as it was early in the morning. D said, I am your roommate, I said, I already have a roommate. She said, I am your third. They overbook the dorms so she lived with me and my crazy roommate Christy for the first three weeks of school til they found her a room on the second floor with her own crazy roommate and I can't remember her name. Some of my favorite memories with Deanna: everything from freshman year especially watching dirty dancing many times at the dollar theatre and Mazatlan spring break. Being pregnant at the same time, having her at the birth of Markie, and finding out she was moving back to the valley after a 8 year hiatus in Florida.

Michael is turning into a big boy!

Today Michael saw Bella and Markie headed out the door with their back packs and had to have a back pack for himself. He also insisted on walking all the way to Lizzy's bus stop and would not ride in the stroller. Three more years til he goes the school himself!
