Birthday

So, waiting to do this post (which contains pictures of food and COFFEE), until I was doing my fast was a horrrrible idea.  These pictures are killing me.. I WANT COFFEE.

I'll try to look past it to tell you about my birthday (the last day I ate sugar or drank coffee)...

I had a great day celebrating!  My hubby took the day off, let me sleep in, and started my day off like this:




My favorite flowers, my favorite donuts, some coffee, and a sweet gift my daughters picked out for me - sunglasses.  ;)

We relaxed all morning and then I got ready for the day.  My friend Ashley surprised me by showing up at my house at noon to take me to get a birthday pedicure.  Such a fun treat to be pampered with such a sweet friend!




After the pampering, we dropped the girls off at a friends house and had the whole afternoon and evening for a date.  It was fabulous!  So we're all about date afternoon instead of date night now!  It was so fun.  We started by stopping by Caribou for my free birthday drink.



Then we went to Ikea and leisurely strolled through the store, scoping things out for our new house (have I mentioned we're moving AGAIN in a couple of weeks?) and drinking our coffee.

Then we headed to dinner at this fantastic Greek restaurant where I made the official decision that Greek is my favorite kind of food!  It was soooo good!  They had a special family style deal where they bring you tons of their top dishes to try - kinda tapas style, but definitely not tapas sized!



Tzatziki, hummus, red pepper dip, warm pita bread, flaming cheese, Greek salad, lamb, steak, and chicken kabobs, wine... soooo delish!!

It was a super wonderful day and I felt so loved!  I love birthdays.  ;)
