Bob reserved my actual birthday for some alone time just the two of us. It was fantastic! We both took work off so we were able to bum around the house doing absolutely nothing and loving it for most of the day! Finally we decided to get ready so we could go to dinner. He took me to one of my favorite restaurants: Red Iguana! There was a bit of a wait (yes even on a Tuesday night) but it's worth it for some of the best Mexican food in Utah! Bob and I got some nachos to snack on before dinner, but I didn't want to eat too much since I knew my tacos were coming. Finally it was time for the main course! My Tacos don Ramon with some Horchata to wash it all down with. As always the food was delectable and I licked my fingers clean!

Bob made me breakfast as well. It was
supposed to be in bed, but I didn't cooperate |

for warm weather... |

After dinner we went home to say some quick goodbyes to our pets and pack some overnight bags before heading to our hotel room. We checked in before the pool closed for the night so we decided to take a nice relaxing dip first. I showed off some of my swim moves for Bob and he attempted to mimic them, though rather poorly. Then after some paddling around, it was into the hot tub to warm up! Finally it was up to our room to shower off, and cuddle up in bed. I love my in-laws, but it felt INCREDIBLE to get away for a night and finally have some privacy not to mention some peace and quiet all night long! I slept great! The next morning we milked our time as much as we could until it was time to check out. Then it was back home to take care of our critters (and finally do the taxes we had been avoiding...). That night Bob's family gave me their gifts and cards and we spent some more time relaxing knowing it was back to work the next day!

Thursday I met up with my new boss Shamae (who is the best boss I have had at 1-800-Contacts by far, but more on that some other time) my co-workers Teresa and Mariah and our HR lady Becky for lunch on 1-800-Contacts dime for my birthday. I always try to pick somewhere I haven't been to yet so that if it's horrible, at least I don't have the guilt of having to pay for it... This year I picked Vinto. The decor is kind of modern eclectic, and the food is reasonably priced but surprisingly delicious! I ordered the Margarita pizza, which was bomb for sure, but as the birthday girl everyone offered me samples of their meals as well and everything was great. It was hard to pick a favorite. Afterwards we ventured around the corner to Gourmandise for dessert. We all got little cookies, and I got a strawberry kiwi tart as well. Afterwards everyone headed back to work except for me. I went to cuddle my husband for another hour before coming in!

Once at work my team gave me more sweets! A cupcake from Sweet Tooth Fairy and a Happy Birthday Soda! The cleaning lady at work, Lili, also got me a cute little mini cake. It was super sweet since I didn't expect anything from her, I didn't even know she knew it was my birthday! I told my husband how spoiled I got at work, and he said good. He wants me to plump up a bit because I'm too skinny. I don't know whether to be upset that he is trying to make me fat, or be giddy that he thinks I'm skinny and will love me even if I do get fat. Either way, I guess that's what I married into, and I sure do love him! Thank you to everyone who helped make my birthday so special. Here's to another great year! I can't wait to see what's in store...
