A few special guests.

It has been a crazy few weeks since we got back from our honeymoon. I had some super fun mouth surgery (more on that later) and I'm getting back into the swing of a schedule that doesn't include any wedding planning. My sweet Mom came down a couple days to hang out and then James and Christine came to visit. This was great since I felt like I did not get to spend nearly enough time with them at the wedding. I took a lot of pictures because they are really pretty people!


Although I really wasn't healed enough to chew that well - I had a few Advil and a little wine and we went to this great restaurant right around the corner from us called KOBE. It is hibachi and it was a freakin blast, I am sure the pain killers didn't hurt either. The food here is so much better than other hibachi places I have been. I highly recommend it.
We wanted to get huge, embarrassing glasses of alcoholic drinks with Buddhas on the side and flames in the middle but once we realized we could get the same drinks a lot cheaper in regular glasses sanes the flames we left that dream behind.


Christine and I have a lot of things in common - it is really startling - but one of the things we don't have in common is the fact that she has not mastered the art of chopsticks. But she seems to be doing OK here.


The hibachi master cooked our meal dramatically and beautifully. I did not want to take his picture or do anything that would make him the least bit self conscious while he was wielding knives and throwing flame so close to my perfectly sculpted eyebrows so you will see no pictures of that here.

After dinner Steve treated us to a few songs and then we all got down to business. We played a few games which were apparently very funny.

I told you they were pretty.

This one is my favorite.

Unfortunately, they weren't the only house guests we had. This fella also made an appearance in the guest room. There were a few girly shrieks (from the boys) and it eventually met its demise with the help of some hair spray, a large book, and half a roll of paper towels.

The night they left was the month anniversary of the wedding. I can't believe how fast time is flying by now that I want it to go slowly. I had a very sweet and funny gift from my husband which I will blog about soon. Thanks to my Mommy for coming to town a couple days to hang out with me while I was feeling under the weather and thank you to James and Christine for coming in town (with my favorite wine in tow - that I cannot buy here anymore) and brightening my week.
