Happy 24th

Diana and I have created our own birthday tradition since we are not too big on the giving presents to eachother thing. Our tradition states that the birthday girl (or guy) gets to plan out the entire day with things they want to do and the other person has to go along with it. Well this year, Diana decided that she wanted to punish me by going shopping! Luckily, her birthday landed on a Sunday this year which means less hours to shop...hah! We did get some shopping in, went to the Alamo Drafthouse Theatre, and relaxed a whole lot at home. We didn't get to eat at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants like we planned yesterday so we went today.

One of the main reasons that Diana loves this place is the animals. There are tons of ducks, turtles, geese, and even beaver-looking things. Since we have been here in Houston, we have got to see about 2 dozen little ducklings grow up into ducks. Pretty cool. We even got to save 2 ducklings from getting run over in the parking lot (almost took them home). Diana has evem got to feed those "rats on steroids" up close and personal. She was so close that I thought I would have to take her to the hospital to get tested for rabies. This will be one of the last chances we get to eat at Cafe Adobe. Diana will sure miss all the animals; oh yeah...and the food.
