Happy Birthday to Me!

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, Josh isn't home for my birthday today, so we celebrated yesterday.

We started the day off with breakfast: eggs, fresh fruit, and Josh made Alice Waters' Irish Soda Bread. Next we loaded up our bikes and went for a ride at a very nice area park. We had a blast as we rode through green grass and trees, right along a creek and along the Detroit River until whoops! 30 minutes into our ride my back tire was completely flat thanks to a good-sized thorn! Josh went back for the Jeep, picked me up, we stopped for a new tire tube, and headed home.

Yesterday evening we went out for a dinner and movie. I enjoyed a steak with herb butter, garlic shrimp, loaded mashed potatoes and vegetable medley, while Josh ate every bit of his chicken, steak, and shrimp fajitas. We didn't care much for the movie we watched, but just being able to celebrate my birthday together meant everything to me.
