birthday presents

my 31st b-day (in december)

i thought i would share with you the other awesome presents i got for my birthday.  it was hard to compete with the news that a little baby was on the way but JD did a great job.

first of all i got a surprise dinner at Dahlia Lounge, a Tom Douglas restaurant here in seattle.  the food was great and the atmosphere was relaxing and comfortable.  i thoroughly enjoyed my dinner and then was slipped an envelope with tickets inside...

the tickets inside were for the Seattle Symphony!  every year we have lived here in seattle i have wanted to go to the Seattle Symphony Holiday POPs show.  it sells out sooooo fast we have never gotten tickets.  that was before this year... JD got me tickets for the show!  AND, AND... to make it even better this year it was the Seattle Symphony, presents Holiday POPS with Cirque de la Symphonie. 

Yep they had aerialist, jugglers, dancers, and the most amazing strong men.  they all performed while we listened to holiday favorites played by the symphony.  it was amazing! bliss! i had a complete blast.

if a baby, dinner, and the symphony weren't enough, JD got me the sweetest silver bean necklace ever. 

 

he got me this little baby from Monique Leon Jewelry & Metals on etsy.  isn't it darling?  this necklace is all about new beginnings, good luck, mystery and promise.  he couldn't have picked a better time to give me this little bean huh?

my 31st birthday was a great one... even though it was almost 3 months ago i still wanted to share my day with you. 

hope you all are having a wonderful thursday.  

we even have a bit of sun here this afternoon.  hope the dry weather can hold up for a dog walk tonight.
