Good times

Turning 36 was pretty awesome. I started off the day at work with a birthday bagel from Lori on my desk, great start, big fan of food on my desk. Then the office surprised me with Gigi’s cupcakes and sang happy birthday to me. I got a card from my parents with some much needed loot, a card from Sarah, and all kinds of birthday love on Facebook.

After work I had my main squeeze pick me up at my front door with a rose, a teddy bear and a card in hand. AAWWW! Well that is a first for me; I don't think I have ever been greeted a boy at my door bearing gifts as he escorts me to dinner. We arrived at Stoney River and were promptly taken to our reserved table. Will helped the hostess remove the extra place settings from the table, for a minute there I thought he was gonna follow her to the kitchen with the extra glasses ready to put them away.  We had a wonderful steak dinner with all the fixins, great convo, many laughs all mixed with country-isms of course. We reminisced about our first date that we had at this same spot, all those days ago. I had a slice of birthday cake, some birthday wishes from the staff and we went back to my place to chill. It was perfect day.

Friday night I got together with the half circle for part two of the celebration. Brandy, Kelly and I had a much needed girl’s night out and we had an absolute blast. Three loud ladies kept it within our realm of comfort. We managed to maintain a very casual, low key, drama free night that had more laughs than I knew what to do with.  They sponsored the whole evening and I am very thankful for them for showing me a good time.

 
Saturday we got up and I made a beeline for the country. When I got there we took Will’s new golf clubs out for a spin. We spent the afternoon hitting golf balls into the hay field. He was very good at it, I had no idea the boy had such skills, so that was a nice surprise. I on the other hand looked like an awkards left hander trying to hit a ball right handed. I don’t care how comfortable you are with someone, whiffing ball after ball is just embarrassing. I did manage to hit the ground a few times a top speed, that was about the time that Will, oh so gracefully, took the brand new club out of my hands and well that was it. I did however realize that this activity could be really fun so I am going to get a left handed club and then we shall see some real action take place.

We then went to the movies and since the movie he wanted to watch didn't start until 9 (remember there are only two movies playing at once in Fayetteville) so we had to settle for Hansel and Gretel in 3D. We are now sitting in the theater looking likes dorks with glasses on bobbing and weaving and ducking at things zinging at our faces. I liked the movie, Will not so much. Sorry Hun, you'll have to go watch the dirty dog Arnold Swartzacheater another time.

Well that is all I got. I have already finished my first Nick Sparks novel and I ready for the movie to come out on V. Day (Safe Haven) and now I am already invested in the next book...The Best of Me.
