WONDERFUL BIRTHDAYS

For my birthday, Michael took me to a really nice restaurant on the day, and planned an entire special day for later. That day was last Saturday.

He had purchased fantastic tickets to go see Carmen at the Royal Opera. In addition to the tickets, he booked a hotel for that night in a 5-star hotel a couple of blocks away, so that we could get ready there, then go to the opera and have dinner afterwards at a really nice restaurant with friends, and then not have to worry about getting home.

It was amazingly wonderful.

I think the best part of it was the fact that he did all of these thoughtful things. He bought me (hugely expensive) jewellery to wear, he made sure that I had a nice glass of champagne waiting for me during the break, he encouraged me to get something new to wear, paid for the dinner with all of our friends, etc., etc.

When we were leaving this hugely expensive hotel, the valet went to go get our car, and spent ten minutes talking to Mike about how excited he was to get to drive it. It's funny that here is this guy who gets to drive Rolls Royces all of the time, and he's all excited about our, and I quote, "old school jag."

I had the BEST day.

Not to mention the fact that my friends also got me really nice presents.

Sometimes it's hard to believe just how lucky I am.
