Happy Birthday to me and my sister!

Today my sister and I turn 29. Eek! 

At least it's not 30. Yet. 

I woke up to a beautiful card from The Captain and some Combos. I have been craving Combos for weeks now. I can't wait to see my sister on Friday, we are heading to DC until Monday. She hasn't seen me since I was 10 weeks pregnant so she will be in for a shock.

Now excuse me while I go and try and find some birthday cake to eat. . .

1dpIUI (my birthday)

Yesterday was 1dpIUI (1 day past IUI) and it was coincidentally my birthday. I really hope I got the best birthday present this year even though I say that every year for every occasion.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you about my birthday date. When I got home from work he had a hot bath drawn with candles and opera music playing for me to relax in before I had to get ready for dinner. God, I love this man.

Brownie point 1.

He has been telling me for the last week that he really wanted to take me to 'Ocean Prime' for my birthday but that we couldn't afford it. So I chose a new restaurant that was opening called 'Seasons 52' which is cheaper and we hadn't been there before. We're driving to the restaurant and I point it out to him, even though he has the GPS programmed, but alas he misses the turn.

I start telling him that he had to turn in back there and he gives me this coy smile and says "That's how you get to that restaurant but that isn't where we are going" 


"Huh?", I said. "Oh my gosh we are going to Ocean Prime aren't we?" 


"Yes ma'am" he replied. "Don't you worry about it I have it covered."


Brownie point 2

Turns out he was telling his parents how much he wanted to take me there but that we couldn't afford it so they gave him a gift certificate the night before. How sweet!

The food was delicious and the restaurant was gorgeous. I was only able to snag a few shots with my phone.

He had oysters, I don't like oysters so he ate all 12 himself
