Okay, so 33

I turned 33 yesterday and had the most awesome weekend.  It was just fantastic and Daniel did a pretty good job of making sure it was special.  He planned the yummiest of dining with a French theme... 

I would enjoy one yummy thing and then before I knew it there was another something tasty to eat.  Between the crepes, coq au vin, wine from Saint Emilion, the good champagne (not the every day champagne - oh yeah, we have everyday champagne), the chocolate cake made with the high quality French chocolate and filled with Bonn Maman preserves... it was just incredibly good.  Oh and because we are that awesome- we had French music playing through Pandora while making dinner and hanging out.  Lovely day.

The weather was absolutely perfect.  Couldn't have asked for a more lovely couple of days.  We were sure to be out and enjoying it as much as possible with trips to the dog beach, the south side lakefront path and the farmers market... oh and a very pathetic run where the only thing that kept me going was burning calories so there would be room for a slice of that decadent cake.

33 is starting out pretty awesome.

By the way... we did not plan on going to the south side for walk this morning... we planned on going to the Botanical Gardens but the dogs threw a fit.  A big huge fit.  As we went to leave they were howling like crazy things... in Dan's words "you know those picture of wolves howling? that was our dogs."  They were pretty please with themselves when they got to go.
