The Best Birthday EVER!!

Okay, my birthday blues are officially gone now. (Mainly cause so is my birthday LOL) I had the best birthday EVER yesterday! My hubby left a little love note on the iron board for me to find when I woke up... my day at work was good... and when my workday ended, I asked my hubby to take me out to eat Mexican food for my birthday! We stopped at the local way-colorful Mexican restaurant...

Are the chairs there not the absolute coolest things EVER?!

I took pics of the restaurant and of my hubby as we waited for our food...

James is not a big fan of having his pic taken.

James & I, together... OMW this is my new fave photo!!!! I love us together. So many times yesterday I had to pause and just enjoy the deepening love I feel for my hubby.

All series of pics with James MUST have at least one tongue-sticking-out pic.

I got white cheese sauce to dip my chips in, and we mixed that with their oh-so-yummy salsa.... SO TASTY! We happily snacked away as we waited on our food.

James ordered two Chimichungas, one with chicken and one with beef... I stole most of his pico de gallo, because it is SO YUMMY and he doesn't like tomato or onion.

I ordered my absolute favorite food... Enchilada verde. It's a beef enchilada, topped with a cheese & cilantro mixture... OMW!!!!! It is HEAVEN! HEAVEN! HEAVEN! You can see how big my plate of food was in comparison to my wittle hand.

When we went home, two friends stopped by... Neither knowing it was my birthday, ironicly. April stopped by for our weekly Criminal Minds watching night... gave me a cute little mini-book she had when she realized it was my birthday. (Aww!) Jessica stopped by to check on me (I'd been emotional earlier on Facebook, and she was worried.) We've planned to all go out for lunch or dinner sometime this weekend.

And then, when I thought my day couldn't be more perfect... I got a call from M, my unofficially-adopted daughter. We talked for like an hour and a half, and are spending Sunday together. I got all weepy after I hung up, because that was truly ALL I really wanted for my birthday... to talk to my kiddo and know everything is okay with her.

May day could not have been more perfect.

What a nice evening for you! That place looks so cool. Love those chairs and the food looks yummy. It's really late and I have been cleaning and now I am hungry. I love chimichangas too, but with the cost of life we haven't been out in quite awhile. But that's ok. I like the pictures of the two of you, especially the tongue sticking out one. You and James are such a great looking couple! Love ya!
