Birthday Dinner

Last Friday was just a regular ole day for me. I woke up as usual, had breakfast, got the girls ready, and headed out to run some errands. First on the list was the drivers license renewal place. I figured I had procrastinated long enough, and considering my license expired that day, I thought that was the best errand to start with. The process proved to be quite painless, and Kaylee gave me one of her many birthday gifts during the process. She was on her best behavior for the 20 minutes we were in there. She listened to everything I told her to do, I was quite proud of her actually! When we got back into the car Ainslee fell to sleep immediately so I rearranged our errand running schedule to accommodate. We got shots first then met my mom, dad, and little bro for lunch at one of Kaylee's favorite restaurants. After lunch I was able to run the rest of my errands while the girls slept soundly at my moms house. Actually Ainslee slept so well I had to wake her up, after 3 hours, to go home.

Ok so here is where the "birthday dinner" part comes in. I was planning on getting to spend a couple of hours with Marcus before he went to work, but instead I was greeted at the top of the driveway by Marcus dressed in not work clothes and told to get in the shower that we were going to dinner. I was told not to ask questions and let him know what he needed to do to get the girls ready to go to Ceire's house for the evening. As I spouted off instructions and a list of things to pack he listened and loaded the bags and car dutifully. We left as soon as I got ready and dropped the girls with Ceire. It was then, after a little slip up from his mommy, that I learned we were headed 'down south' for dinner. My favorite restaurant at the casinos is Jack Binion's Steakhouse at the Horseshoe Casino and that's where we were going! I was so excited! We had tons of fabulous food, but more importantly we got to spend time together talking, laughing, and enjoying each others company. I had so much fun and loved our dinner, especially because it was FREE (thanks GK)! Well minus the tip, but that's a small price to pay for that meal!
