Birthday Week


It was David's 30th birthday last week, and as always, a week long celebration. I have always been a huge fan of birthdays, and I especially wanted this one to be special. The "birthday week" started on Thursday, August 28th with dinner at Red Ivy and tickets to the Cubs game. The boys had a great time, which obviously made me happy because I didn't have to entertain. Friday was an intimate dinner of two at Naha, one of David's favorite restaurants. After spending close to $500, we left with happy faces and happy stomachs! Saturday was a pizza pary at Mark's, and Sunday was my favorite night...a wine dinner at Terragusto.

Now, I am letting my liver recuperate.
