Chad's birthday is Aug. 29. Mine is Sept. 21. And, between those, our anniversary is Sept. 15. So, this time of year is always busy for us.
Chad's mother has faced some health complications over the last several months. We made an unplanned trip to Tennessee to be with her while she was in ICU at Vanderbilt Medical Center in late August. She continues to improve on many of her health issues and is at a rehabilitation center now where she continues physical therapy on her foot/leg and antibiotic treatment for her bone infection.
While we were in Tennessee, we celebrated Chad's 30th birthday with family in the hospital and went to eat at a nice restaurant somewhere between Nashville and Bethpage.
We celebrated our anniversary with dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant in Gainesville and by breaking out our toasting glasses from our wedding. It was fun to use them for the third time (once on our wedding day, once on our first anniversary, and again this year). We followed up our low key plans with dinner at iPanema in Ocala on Saturday night. It is one of Chad's favorites. My guess is that has something to do with the unlimited amounts of meat he receives there.
And, we celebrated my 29th birthday yesterday with dinner at Carrabba's. Chad even sent me flowers and made me a derby pie for my birthday (one of three sweet treats he has attempted). He really went the extra mile to make me feel special on my birthday. The monetary value of gifts has nothing to do with it. It's the little things like the pie and just being so thoughtful that I really appreciate.
