An Anniversary
September 6th was our 2nd wedding anniversary. Since it landed on a Tuesday, we decided to celebrate the following weekend.
Saturday came around and I was feeling so blah. I wanted to stay in bed all day, my body was just exhausted. Adam had made reservations for Ruth's Chris in SF and around 6 p.m, I told him to cancel the reservations because I didn't feel like doing anything. Just one of those days. Luckily, Adam persuaded me to get out of bed and we were able to get reservations at the Walnut Creek location of Ruth's Chris. I took a shower and forced myself to look pretty for my husband. I'm glad we went because dinner was DELICIOUS!!! We both had a great time and it was nice to spend some alone time with Adam. We didn't finish dinner until almost 11 and didn't get home until midnight. It was a lovely night in Walnut Creek, and it was a great way for us to celebrate 2 years of marriage.
Sunday we drove out to Half Moon Bay to eat at Sam's Chowder House, I'd been craving a lobster roll for awhile. LOVE their lobster rolls!! The weather in Half Moon Bay was really nice considering that it's usually pretty chilly and foggy. The beaches were packed and you could tell people were taking advantage of the sunshine. After lunch, we went to watch Warrior. ( I loved it, and spent most of the movie crying quietly, lol, pregnancy hormones?)
Great laid back anniversary celebration, I loved every minute of it.
A Birthday
Caleb, my baby, my first born, my little monster, the first love of my life, the one who has my heart, turned 7 on the 14th. SEVEN!!!!! It's amazing how fast time seems to be flying. I can still remember being in labor and meeting the guy who would change my life as if it was yesterday. He's an awesome kid. He's sweet, funny, charismatic (those dimples are killer), he's thoughtful, bright, social. I could go on and on about this guy. He's my favorite person to be around. I just love him so much, even when he's frustrating me to no end.
I took a half day of work to spend time with him on his birthday. We went to lunch. Then I took him to Toys 'R Us to pick a gift. We spent about an hour in that store, hitting up every aisle until he settled on something. He settled on a Spiderman web launcher that shoots out silly string, lol. When we went up to pay, he told the cashier that it was birthday and she gave him a birthday crown and a balloon, he was so happy. After Toys 'R Us, I took him and my sister to a laser tagging place that opened up near our house. They had a blast and Caleb won! For dinner, my whole family went to a new cajun seafood restaurant that just opened up. Caleb got both the things he wanted, a whole dungeness crab and sushi. He ate so much!! We brought a cake to the restaurant for him and when we were finished with dinner, our server brought it out for us to sing "Happy Birthday." Caleb was so surprised and happy. He loves being with my family and when we got home that night he thanked me for giving him such a great birthday.
Saturday, the 17th, was his birthday party. We had a magic theme and I hired a magician to entertain the kids. My friend brought his jumper and cotton candy machine as a gift to Caleb. Adam bbq'ed and we had about 20 kids show up along with about 30 adults. I was so stressed out planning the party. If it weren't for the help of my family and friends, I probably would've lost it. Everything turned out for the best though because everyone had a great time, especially Caleb. And that is the most important thing.
