Birthday surprise

So here are my excuses for not posting recently:
1. Very busy. We just finished a trimester.
2. I've been sick off and on since January. Just starting another cold cycle.
3. My motivation is low, probably due to alternating sickness and poor weather.

Anyway, I did have a nice birthday on Monday. We went out to my favorite restaurant in town--it's gourmet/continental style, amazing food. They have beautiful presentation and everything tastes so good. We had an incredible meal. I had venison, Derek had shark. At the end of the meal, the waitress said, "It's all been taken care of, have a great night." We must have looked like total idiots! We started to leave, asking ourselves what could have happened. The wife of one of the owners works at my school and I had asked her what was good on the menu right now, so I thought she might have mentioned something to her husband. The waitress came up to us as we were leaving and said, "You guys looked so shocked! Your dad called and took care of the bill for you." What a great birthday surprise! Thanks, Dad.

My mom is coming to visit on Saturday--she is taking the train. One more week of school and then it's spring break--finally! We are going to New Mexico to visit my grandparents, who couldn't make it to the wedding. It will be so wonderful to go somewhere warm and sunny for a change.

Spring break for us is in two more weeks. We may head cross-state for a trial overnight road trip with the baby. Enjoy NM!

Happy birthday (I've been meaning to call, but have never managed to remember until it was too late at night.) What a great surprize for dinner! I've never had that happen to me! Lucky girl!

Your birthday present is on the way. I'm just a loser who can't make it to the post office.

Happy Birthday.
