More beautiful flowers from K. 

I really, really wish I had taken more pictures of Saturday night. K took me to dinner at Mockingbird Bistro - it was amazing. The flowers above were waiting for me on the table. We had Parmesan truffle fries, Parmesan mushroom risotto, chocolate truffles, coffee, and delicious wine. And he gave me a beautiful silver and diamond bracelet.

I am so grateful for everything everyone did to make my birthday so memorable and wonderful. This was honestly one of my best birthdays ever. I am excited about my thirties.
