I am blessed. Amid the hustle and bustle of going to school and working full time, I was able to have an amazing birthday week. So amazing I just have to share.
It all started with this man...
Mmm mmm mmm, just look at this man. Let's just take a moment...
My amazing partner gifted me with tickets to see Prince at the Showbox Market last Thursday night. Now, to set the scene, the Showbox Market is a pretty small venue which made it pretty awesome. Prince looked just this good... still... and he sounded great. He put on such a show with all the theatrics you've come to know and love. Oh Prince, you slay me. I put my big-girl pants on, sucked it up and went to the late show that started at 11:30 PM. I was not disappointed with his rock set and two encores, one being a medley of some of his hits. I may have only gotten 4 hours of sleep that night but it was worth it.
Saturday the festivities continued at a bowling alley with friends, then dinner with friends. Lovely day. Sunday, my birthday wishes were actualized as we did gardening. Yes friends, I've turned into one who gets excited to garden. I'm sure blog posts totally devoted to favorite plants didn't clue you in. So my "study break" consisted of planting a couple of hellebores, moving plants around, pruning one of the trees and giving some compost love to some of our existing plants. Here are our two newest hellebore additions...
Gotta love putting the education to good use. Very gratifying. These kids will be perfect in the shady area we put them in... if Fynn doesn't trample them. One more gardening goal for the year finished! Check!
And then to top it all off, for my birthday yesterday, I got flowers! I am pretty sure I was delivered flowers for the first time in my life. That makes a girl feel quite special.
And then I went home to not only a freshly cleaned house but another bouquet! This girl here is spoiled!
We took a walk with our dogs (which is a little slice of heaven, my equivalent of smelling the roses) and went to dinner on Lake Union where mama got to have her wine... happy birthday me! Shout out to my girlfriend for supporting me through this time as well as making me feel extra special on my special day. Like I said... truly blessed.
