I keep looking at my notebook every few days and come so close to finishing up my Scotland blog experience, but then I look at the amount of stuff I wrote down and it totally turns me off. There have been multiple occasions when I have found myself wanting to blog about something not Scotland-related, but then decide not to because I don’t want to “interrupt” the flow of my blog. I’ve decided to say “screw it” today. Why torture myself when I don’t have to? I’ll come back to the rest of the Scotland trip someday. Just not today.
So many things have happened in the past several months, I don’t even know where to begin…
I got an iPhone. It’s super-fantastic and maybe I’ll blog from my phone one day. We waited for it at 5AM at Valley Fair. They opened the doors at 6 or so (they were originally
scheduled to open at 7) and we had our new phones before breakfast. I had some phone number porting issues, but that’s all squared away now. WOOHOO! Oh, it was also the day after my birthday. Great birthday gift to myself (well, technically, the Vander Wals made it happen since they picked me as a winner of the iPhone for a work contest 
Speaking of birthday, I went to work on that day and we went to St. John’s for lunch – great turkey burgers! Christian took me to Straits for dinner and then we went to Frozo for some froyo after. It was a great birthday! We took Friday off and lined up for our new phones. We pretty much spent the day setting up apps for our phones. Nerds, I know.
That evening (we’re on the evening after my birthday here), we and a few friends went to a Filipino restaurant called The Intramuros in South San Francisco. A former chef at Yahoo! is co-investor in the restaurant and we dined with him and his wife that night. They are such wonderful people and the restaurant is AWESOME. The atmosphere was so classy and the food was SOOOOO good. Please please PLEASE get out there if you have a chance. It doesn’t look like a whole lot from the outside, but the inside will knock your socks off. I can’t wait to go back.
We hosted a nacho party that weekend to celebrate my birthday with a few friends. It was delicious and fun.
This past weekend, Christian and I shot engagement photos for some friends. It was our first engagement photo session ever, but I think we did fairly well. We went to Golden Gate Park and got some fun shots. We posted some on our Flickr for preview. Depending on when you view the following links, you will see either a few samples, or the entire collection (his and mine are separated, so you’d have to look at both links.)

That’s all I’ll blog for now. Promise to have more soon since I’ve been keeping myself busy!
