Morikami Museum & Old Friends


A couple of weeks ago, I got an e-mail from an old college friend. I haven't seen her or her husband in 9 years, which is something I shouldn't admit (it certainly hasn't been that long since I graduated). They are currently living in Orlando, but were planning a little trip to South Florida to visit the Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens. Steve & I have never heard of the place and it is fairly close to where Steve grew up. Anyway, they wanted to know if we could meet them for lunch. We had a nice time. The food was great and so was the walk around the gardens - even though it was dreadfully HOT. It is definitely a little gem to know about.


I enjoyed catching up with them, but the best part was seeing their adorable little girl. She is by far the most well behaved two year old I've ever seen, despite the fact that she was sweating buckets, hungry at one point, and very tired. We even went into the gift shop & she didn't throw a fit about wanting anything. I think I need to learn parenting skills from them b/c I can tell you that my kids are going to be a handful! Then again, I have always liked a challenge.

about me

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.

For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.

Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .

Named after two Greek Goddesses, which were selected because I needed luck for buying a house and getting pregnant. I am not superstitious, but somehow it worked! The house was bought in March & I found out I was pregnant in June of last year.
