So far, today has been a pretty spectacular day.
For one, my morning was immediately a gazillion times better once I got a call saying that I had a special delivery waiting for me…
Aren’t they beautiful?! I’ll tell ya…I have one heck of an amazing husband. :)
Then this afternoon, a couple of my bosses/co-workers brought me out to lunch where I dined on delicious, fried calamari and an amazing grilled chicken salad (with crispy fried artichokes…who knew?!).
About an hour after returning back to the office from lunch, I found out that there was one more surprise…
A bunch of my coworkers had gathered in the conference room, wished me a happy birthday, and got me not one, but TWO cakes. Not only was I incredibly grateful, but I really was not expecting anything, since I’m was pretty sure only about two people knew it’s my birthday. My darn pregnancy hormones were *this close* to kicking in and making me tear up in front of everyone because I was so touched, but I managed to hold back.
FYI: I had a small piece from the cake on the left, which was a caramel pecan layer cake. Yes, caramel pecan…
Here’s to indulging in (and thoroughly enjoying) every last delicious bite on my birthday! ;)
