Happy Birthday D (yesterday)

With absolutely no photographic evidence that yesterday even took place, we successfully celebrated D's 34th birthday.

I picked him up from work for lunch and treated him to some yummy pasta at Bugatti's and then to Starbucks for a coffee for me. At lunch, I felt bad because I was in a BAD mood. Had nothing to do with him (all work stuff) and I kept telling myself to snap out of it because I didn't want to ruin his day. I finally apologized for being in a bad mood, to which he said,"it's okay, you can always just be you with me, and if you're in a bad mood that's okay too. I still love you." (this is why he deserves to have his b-day celebrated for 34 days!!!)

Bad mood out the window!

He told me all the people that had called/text him to wish him a happy birthday. My whole family had sent him birthday wishes, which meant A LOT to him (and me)! Thank you family, you're the best.

We wanted to then play hooky the rest of the day so we could be together, but we didn't. Because we're responsible you know! So back to work we went. Well kind-of, I stopped home to kiss on my sweet niece who I knew was there. But then off to work I went!

After work we changed and we're looking pretty nice! I had a new black dress on with my cute black heels, D wore his gray pants I love and a white/silver button up shirt and boy did he look handsome! (why, oh why did I forget to take pictures of us!) We jumped in the car and headed downtown to the 30th floor of the US Bank Tower for an amazing dinner at Portland City Grill. We even got a window seat with a view of the river and Mt. Hood! I ordered macadamia nut crusted chicken breast and a salad and D order the filet mignon with a salad. It was sooooo delicious! It was worth saving up for! And he LOVED it and was so excited to eat there. It is his favorite restaurant but hadn't been there since we went 2 years ago for his birthday.

Were you expecting a gushy Happy Birthday D post? I know, I was too. But, we all know how much I love him. I want him to feel loved and respected everyday of the year. I want to honor and cherish him, because he deserves it. And those things are so easy to do, because that is how he treats me. I know I have said it a million times before, but he truly is the best man I have ever known. Happy Birthday D, I love you so very deeply.
