Saturday
Ngoc and I spent the day together, and it's very clear why I love her so much.
Tonight, we had dinner at Dos Hermanos, (two brothers) a Mexican restaurant in Pearland that is very popular with the locals. Ngoc had tamales and I had the shrimp trio plate. Both very good. This was our second time here and Ngoc really likes the paper-thin tortillas.

Love
One more interesting item tonight.
If your a Beatlesfreak fan like me, you may enjoy this interview playing on NPR. Bob Boilen interviews Giles Martin, the son of the famous Beatles producer, George Martin. The subject is the music that he produced for the Las Vegas show aptly named "Love".
I'm looking forward to our next trip to Vegas.

Diamond bought
Just a few quick notes from today.
My mom called today to inform me that her sister-in-law was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. They are still running tests to determine the stage and extent of the disease. Not good news.
Ngoc came over this evening for dinner and had a chance to talk to my mom about the above news. Most of you know that Ngoc works as a radiation therapist at a cancer center. Thirty minutes later they were still talking as my stomach was grumbling with hunger. I had to cut them off eventually so we could go out to eat.
We drove into Houston and ate dinner at a casual Italian restaurant called Colina's. Ngoc had bought one of those "Metro" books that give you discounts at local businesses, so we had one entree for free. Saving up for the honeymoon...
Afterwards we went to Barnes and Noble and I bought the book "What Color is Your Parachute". More on this in the future...
When we returned home, we began going over the loose diamonds Ngoc had found on-line. After some comparisons and research, we decided on a stone and ordered it 'from BlueNile.com. I must admit it is strange and unsettling to buy a diamond on-line. Sort of like the first on-line purchase I made at Amazon.com back in the mid-90's.

Wedding date set
It's official! Ngoc and I have set our wedding date for September 22, 2007.
I've created this blog to make announcements and chronicle our preparations for our very special day. I'll send you a message when I make updates to this site. Ngoc has access to update this site as well, so you may see a few posts from her.
Needless to say, I'm ecstatic and am looking forward to our life together. Ngoc is the most beautiful lady that I've met in my 39 years on this planet. I've found a lot of people that know Ngoc that agree with me.

Diamond rings
Ngoc and I have spent the last couple months shopping for a diamond engagement ring. Yesterday, we bought a setting from a friend of Ngoc's brother. It's a beautiful setting. I'll post a photo when we get a chance.
As for the solitaire diamond, we're probably going to buy it on-line from Bluenile.com or a similar site. We've shopped around Houston and most B&M (bricks and mortar) sites are > $1000 the prices we are seeing on-line. Word to the wise, here's an excellent site for diamond information (Pricescope).
