Birthday Surprise

Last week I had my 35th birthday and just as most birthdays come and go almost unnoticed, I thought this one would too. To my surprise this was not the case this year. First of all, I have wonderful friends who made sure to call, email and bring flowers and goodies over for me to enjoy. I was even treated to a GNO with dinner and a chick flick. I felt so LOVED and spoiled! Then a few days later I was told by Matt that on Saturday night we were going to hit the town...

I just thought this was dinner at one of my favorite restaurants but nope...

WRONG-O. When we arrived at The Purple Cafe (http://www.thepurplecafe.com)

a bunch of our friends were there waiting to for us with a big "SURPRISE!" I'm usually pretty suspicious when Matt tries to surprise me but this time I had no idea. The 10 of us dined on baked brie, bruschetta, yummy spreads like edamame and toasted walnut. Then they brought out the pizzas: potato, margherita, goat cheese and roasted mushroom, and sweet onion sausage and ricotta cheese. De-lish!

He even had a quiz to see how well everyone knows me.

After dinner, Matt took me to a dance club where we danced the night away with our friends, the Chapmans. If you know me at all, you know I LOVE to dance. It was a blast! The best 35th Birthday EVER! Thanks Babe!
