birthday girl


This past week has been a great birthday celebratory week. My parents were in town Saturday so they decided to take Ben & I out to lunch to celebrate my upcoming birthday. We went to rodizio grill. It was amazing and it was so much fun to celebrate with them
Then the next day I went over to the Hawker's house where they had a delicious meal planned and some presents to open. They all even went around the table and told me why they loved me, which is a Hawker tradition. I definitely married into the best family. 
Monday, I woke up to Ben saying we're going to vegas!! What? I thought for sure this a joke. But we packed and drove off to sin city to celebrate my 21st right. He is so thoughtful. I was so excited to spend some time lounging by the pool & just being with Ben. 
My birthday was Wednesday and yes Ben had the whole day planned. I woke up to him singing Happy Birthday. We then headed to a cute breakfast place just a little off the strip. After breakfast was some pool time and then came lunch at the eiffel tower restaurant in the paris hotel. Yes, there were roses awaiting me as we sat down and yes we got the VIP table. Best birthday lunch of my life.

After lunch, we tried our luck at the roulette table & some slot machines  just because I was now of age. It was fun but it went fast. The night ended with sushi, a gondola ride & serendipity.


I could not have asked for a better birthday.

happy two months



Last Thursday was our two month anniversary. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love being married to Ben. I also have learned a lot about my husband. Such as:
-He likes the bed made a certain way and if its not made that way he cannot sleep in it
-He is obsessed with artichokes and fried rice. He could eat them all day errrday, which makes making lunches easy
-He always ask if I need help even if its not something he wants to do
-He drinks lots and lots of soda. It is his form of dessert
-He is my little cuddle monster. He could cuddle all day if I didn't get so antsy.
-He stays in the shower for literally half an hour and could stay in there longer if he didn't have to get to work.
-He takes forever to get out of bed in the morning. He prolongs it. 
-He says he loves me and kisses me every night before bed even if I am halfway asleep & kisses me good morning every morning.
-He greets me with a hug and a kiss everyday after work. 
These two months have been pure wedding bliss. But school is starting in less than a month so can't wait to see what's in store for us this month!
