As an early birthday present I surprised him and booked us a hotel room in town so we could get away for a night. He was super worried about what the surprise was as we were driving because he was so tired and didn't want to do anything, meet anyone or be in public at all. I told him to just trust me and he said it was my one chance to prove myself because if he didn't like it he would never trust me with a surprise again. I think I succeeded. We've been living with people since Christmas so it was nice to just have some 'us' time again. For dinner we got La Unica (for the THIRD time that week) and just ate it in the hotel. He ate the same meal he always gets but I ventured out a bit and was proud of myself! We were sad when we had to check out on Saturday and go back to "reality".
On Sunday morning I gave him the rest of his birthday presents...a pair of dress socks (which he knew were coming because I already gave him two other pairs earlier in the week so he had socks for work...I had to save one pair for his birthday!), and I rewrapped his Valentines Day present because he still hadn't done it!! haha I gave him a personalized puzzle with a love note on the back and I gave him fair warning that if he didn't do it by his birthday that's what he was getting. And I couldn't go back on my word, of course.
Monday evening we went to Maggiano's with Sam, Chelsea and Sawyer. Instead of birthday cake he just wanted a piece of Maggiano's cheesecake so that's where the idea came from. (Chelsea still baked him a cake...she's a better sister than I am wife!) I'd never been there before and I was thoroughly impressed.
I'd say the weekend was pretty successful!
