My Birthday Weekend

J0422318

I am not sure that anything could top my Engagement Ring.  But, I told my honey that I didn't expect a gift for my birthday, since I just got my ring and we are going to Orlando to vacation in two weeks.  My only request, was that he spoil me rotten all weekend.  And, he did. 

We just enjoyed our alone time.  Friday night we went to Olive Garden, where I had my Favorite Stuffed Chicken Marsala, I think that is one of Olive Garden's best dishes.  But, strictly my opinion, I am trying to stay clear of all the pasta, even though I know that is good too, just trying to make better food choices.

Then Friday night we went to see Tyler Perry's "Meet the Browns", finally.  Check out the Trailer:

http://www.apple.com/trailers/lions_gate/meetthebrowns/high.html  It was a very good movie, but it really struck home for me, on the struggles of a single mom.  I cried through a good part of the movie, and for at least a half an hour after.  Poor Anwar, when I finally got words, I explained to him about some of the struggles I went through.  And, he said well at least you don't have to worry about any of that anymore.  That statement made me feel so warm and safe.

Then we went to Copelands, this is our 3rd visit there, and I love their food.  Check out the restaurant.  http://www.copelandsatlanta.com  They are known for their desserts as well as their Louisiana style cuisine, but I resisted and did not get any cheese cake(smile).

Sunday, which was my Actual Birthday, we spent the day in relaxing.  He made me both breakfast and dinner...

I couldn't ask for anything more... Even though I think I was a little apprehensive as I tend to be around bdays, I am glad to have survived another year, and with the ones I love...
