B, Birthdays, and Beer

This past month was B's birthday.  The big 28 whoop!  We hadn't gone out of town in ages so against my better judgement I peeled myself away from studying and we headed down to Occidental for some wine and beer tasting, Norwegian waffles, and breathtaking views.  I'd never been there before but, after seeing the views from the cabin we stayed in, I figured we'd find something fun to do.  Needless to say we will definitely be going back.  Occidental has all the charm of Napa or Sonoma minus the crowd (and the prices).

 Our Cabin

 View from the balcony.....gorgeous!

Birthday Boy!  Don't mind the noose behind his head.....

The Spread

He's a bit excited...in case you couldn't tell.

Happy Wednesday!!!

The One

You know you've found "the one" when they...

1. Gleefully follow you to your mother's birthday party, keeping quiet as you attempt to run unsuspecting bystanders off the road because you're running 20 minutes late as usual due to the fact that you packed much too much into one day because you chronically overbook yourself in the hopes that it will help you get more done...when in fact it has the opposite effect. 

2. Smile and laugh while being forced to make birthday hats at your mother's 54th birthday party while your nieces run around screaming making it nearly impossible to have a conversation.

3. Think nothing of your seemingly weekly anxiety attacks, questioning of your purpose in life, and overall neurosis....telling you that they love you the way you are and "what's so great about being normal anyway?"

4. Frantically look for snacks when you've passed your patience point and start to get irrationally angry because you haven't eaten in far too long.

5.  Tell you you're beautiful when you have snot running down your face and puffy eyes from crying over something silly.

6. Pray with you when you feel like you can't go on any longer and remind you that all is possible with the help of God.

Love you B.  You are my best friend, my love, you bring out the best in me.  I hope I do the same for you. :)

Birfday

Happy Friday lovelies!

Today is my birthday and I can't wait to spend it with my adorable madre and handsome gentleman caller. I started the day off with a few bday texts from my wonderful friends, an extra large cup of home brewed coffee and eucalyptus honey (honey in coffee is perfection), a call to the credit card company (there's no reason not be productive on your bday) and a blog from my bestie that made me tear up a little...okay a lot. Now I'm off to get ready for lunch and pedicures with my mama, then dinner at Todo Un Poco with B, cant wait!


Have a wonderful weekend and romantic or self spoiling Valentines Day. Whatever fits your fancy :)
