27, continued

I was showered with kindness yesterday for my birthday and I am just so thankful for the husband, family, friends and co-workers that really made it a special day!

First Mike got the whole day off to a wonderful start by waking me up with breakfast in bed- so cute and unexpected! He made me a spinach & cheese omelet with toast and coffee :)

Co-workers were especially nice with all sorts of birthday wishes and I even got a nice pair of earrings from Melissa as a gift and Mary-Beth took me out for lunch at The Hilltop.

email wishes throughout the day continued....

and then Mike picked me up from work and we headed to downtown Iowa City to Graze, a new restaurant I've been dying to try after hearing such great reviews from friends- check out the dinner & libations MENUS in the bottom left of their website to see the ridiculous amount of choices for martinis, etc, and the fun food names & descriptions.

We chose the Grazing 101 menu and I had a sweet martini to wash it all down (try to guess which one I'm drinking) everything was awesome but our faves were definitely the 'chicken lips' & the 'half-ass ice cream pie'

I came home to cards in the mail and the cutest gift from my parents- a sprouting seeds kit! I'll be growing & enjoying home-grown sprouts for salads & sandwiches year round.

Thank you everyone for showering me with love on my 27th b-day!
