We went horsey riding.... :)

Eric and I went horse riding last weekend! :) Very exciting!!! Ft Bragg has its own stables and have a lot of horses there.

I got Shayla. Shayla was more interested in eating than getting some exercise though. :P She kept stopping at every point that she saw some grass to snack. In the end, we even fed them apples that we took alomg. Eric got one of the biggest horses there. I forget his name, but man, that horse was a leader.... He kept trying to get in front and gave Eric some real good gallops!! Poor Eric's butt! :P

And for those of you who don't think so.... Horse riding is also exercise! My body was pretty sore the next day after riding. Eric says we should take classes next. Lets see how that pans out.....

Very late Easter post

Well, had a couple of firsts this Easter....

We colored eggs but forgot to take pictures :P

We also got a nice Easter basket from Beth. My first Easter basket! And the great Eric started eating from it before Easter even came!!

It was very hard to keep him away from the bunnies we bought too. And finally when he opened them, he let out his frustration on one. See pics for what I mean!!

Easter is supposed to symbolize new life and a fresh start! So, here's to that for us!!!

Chalthe Chalthe mere yeh bol yaad rakhna....

There are a few lights in my life
Each light keeps my life bright
Every time a friend like you goes away
One of those lights go dim and gray....

Here's to the Cadillacs we drove, the Audis we wrecked and the Solaras that made us cool women.....
Here's to the million movies we watched, when the weather was freezing, snowing, sunny or rainy.....
Here's to the exploring of Foods, Ideas & Places we did when we really never intended to....
Here's to the times we cooked and shared like sisters we weren't....
Here's to the zillion Coffees and Chais we drank and the many miles we may have walked in the sky walk, just to let our work frustrations out....
Here's to the wonderful men we found to bear us and be our husbands....

Here's to you, my friend, my confidante, a special light in my life...

Now that you're going so far away, here's to the many birthdays, births, anniversaries and other celebrations that we will miss from each other's lives. But always remember, no matter where you go, there will be one person you can always rely on any time, any place.

FRIENDS FOR LIFE! Here's to our friendship! A very special friendship!

Our 2009 Valentines celebrations

Yeh bacho ke khelne ki cheez nahi hai jaani..............

And I wasn't too bad either. I did stick to the targets and even got some right in the center. :)

Move over Abhinav Bindra.... Soni is here to take over the next Olympics.

And here's our Valentine's dinner.... Watch Eric blush....

And yes, Eric asks me to mention that, it was my idea and I danced too.... But he was toooo embarrassed to take pictures :)

Bye Bye Malavias!

I know its late, but I am missing you guys a lot today for some reason! Will always remember the lovely times. Not sure whether you'll all be there when I come, but wherever you are, be happy. I'll be praying for you all.

I think it just hit me that Sneha will be gone and Nikhil is leaving to CA. Yeh humare pyaare se parivaar ko kiski nazar lag gayi.... :(

I love you guys. Sneha, take care of yourself beta. Will miss you out and out. I was so hoping to be there for your big day. I'll still hope ok...

Nikhil, it must be hard for you to go all the way to CA and stay without Sneha. I'm praying that you will be all set by March and hope she comes back to be with you there soon. Drive safely!

Take care and be good.

Soni's sad....

Eric's gone on training until the end of January....
He's not gonna be around for his budday either....
:-(

New Years and Jan 2nd...

Well, New Years was pretty quiet for us. We spent New Year's eve watching Spaceballs (HA HA HA!! VERY funny movie. Its like a parody of Star Wars.) So, basically we laughed into 2009....
On New Year's day we tried a Korean restaurant for lunch and it was the CCCRRRAAAPPPIEST food I've ever had. The place and presentation looked so good, but YUCKO food. So, we decided to come home and make a nice New Year's meal and watch another movie - Get Smart. Thats exactly what we did, and was very very nice.

I had my biometrics appointment for immigration this morning at 10am. We left at 8am for the USCIS centre which was sooo hard to find. But it made up for it, because the people inside were so so nice. They security folks and also the biometrics techie dude. We were in and out of that place in like 15 minutes. Smooooth....

Went to the Triangle Indian Market after that and got a boatload of groceries. Its becoming pretty common for us to spend a lot of money whenever we go there. Oh well....
I really wanted to have the buffet at the Biriyani House but they were going to open only at Noon and I was already hungry. So, we went to a place Eric found - Bamboo Garden. An Indo-Chinese joint. GREAT PLACE! FINALLY, I was able to eat Manchurian after 5 years! I didn't know that they had Indo-Chinese food in the USA.... Awesomo!!

Just got back home and its raining like crazeeee.... Chai time... :)))
