My Birthday

I had a great birthday. My friends Tina, Erin, & Kristi made me a breakfast on Saturday. Tina's daughter had her 6th birthday a couple of weeks ago, and I was lucky enough that she shared her Princess Tiana cups & balloons with me! I felt really special!

Jared did great this year for my birthday. He took me out on Saturday night. I had been craving a Nothing Bundt Cake chocolate bundtlet. We stopped by there before dinner to get some mini cakes for my actual birthday on Sunday.

We then went to down town Fort Worth to try a little Italian restaurant that got great reviews. We were disappointed when we got there to find the entire restaurant was the size of a walk-in closet, and their 8 skinny tables were filled with people that looked like they planned on being there for awhile. We asked about the wait, and they told us it would be an hour. There was no waiting area, and it was too cold to wait outside. We decided to leave them our phone number, but drive around to see if we could find anything that would let us get in faster.

We ended up finding another Italian place down the road. We got in quickly. The food was only okay, but the company was excellent! It was nice to have a dinner where we weren't rushed and got to enjoy ourselves. As we were paying the check, the other restaurant called. We were glad we didn't wait because it ended up really being an hour!

On Sunday, Jared & the kids gave me my presents. Jared picked out a beautiful silver necklace from the vintage pearl that had the kid's names engraved on it. I love it! It's exactly what I would have picked if I was shopping for myself. He also got me the fanciest pair of sewing scissors I'd ever seen. I made the mistake of taking my other fabric pair to a church craft day, and while I left them for the fabric craft, somewhere during the day they got moved to the cutting of the adhesive backed magnet strips and they got completely ruined. I needed those so much for all my sewing projects! I was so surprised, I had no idea. Good job Jared!
