Birthday Wishes




Last weekend, Brian and I went out for an early birthday dinner. We ate at Room 39 and were totally blown away, as always. We were served champagne and an amazing amuse bouche while we perused the menu. I had halibut with a saffron cream, on a bed of roasted cauliflower and oyster mushrooms. It was absolutely sublime. Every single bite was heaven. Ted knows what he’s doing, that is for certain, and we decided that when we win the lottery we will hire him as our personal chef. After dinner, we headed down to the River Market Brewery to watch the Stolen Winnebagos, who also did not disappoint. It’s highly entertaining to watch someone do pelvic thrusts to Take On Me by A-ha. We were rolling, and figured we laughed much harder than if we would’ve joined Jude and the bunch at the comedy club. Plus, they are actually very good, and their harmonies are spot-on. After our delicious meal, bouts of laughter, and too many oatmeal stouts, Brian took me home and put me to bed. I slept like a baby until 9:00 on Saturday. All and all, a wonderful evening with my most favorite person.
By the way, Hattie played until the wee hours at Grammy and Grandpa's, too. She was up until 10:30! What a partier. :-) We got our proofs from the big photo shoot and are very happy with the way they came out. The hard part is going to be choosing just a few! Here's a couple of 'sneak peeks' from Kayla our photographer...
