But, we are really limited with nice restaurants here in Arkansas so we decided to try it out and see how good it was. We were NOT disappointed!
Alan came home from work and walked in with these babies! They weren't from Alan- they were from my sweet sister in law, (Alan's sister) Essie. She's living in D.C. right now and we are really missing her. My in-laws just moved here and she is chomping at the bit to come and stay with them and see all of us. Hopefully she can work out a trip pretty soon. Aren't they beautiful!! Only Essie knew how important flowers would mean to me on this day! :)
Alan had made reservations to the restaurant but we had to wait about 30 minutes to be seated. We were just sitting there talking about everything and didn't really notice that we were waiting so long. So, they offered us a free cocktail. Hello pomegranate martini!!
It was so nice to sit down with Alan and talk about all the things that have been happening in our lives. I miss my alone time with him. We ate a wonderful meal and were so stuffed afterwards. They brought out the chocolatey-est cake ever and I blew out the candle and made a wish that I was a size 2. It didn't work. So I ate the chocolate expresso cake. They also took a picture of us and will email it to me in the next couple of days. I tried to take a picture with my phone but it was so dark in there that it looks really bad.
I had a wonderful birthday and truly felt so special yesterday! Today I feel blah and think I am developing a kidney infection. But, it's the last day of March and I blogged every day! I may keep it up because I am loving meeting new people :)
Tomorrow is the beginning of April and Autism Awareness Month. Get ready to learn all about my Riley! <3

Sorry your birthday wish didn't come true. Maybe it will, but just not as quickly as you wished it to.
