21 years old with 15 years experience

July 8th was my birthday... I turned 36 and am officially in my late 30s! LOL!  Or as my adorable husband would say, I am 21 years old with 15 years experience!   

My age has never mattered to me...but for a little over two months, I will be two years older than Eric.  I truly am his old lady! ;)

As an adult, birthdays are not as a big to-do as they are when you are kids!  I wasn't expecting much this year... a card or two and that's all.  

I woke up and my mother-in-law and my daughter had made me cards and they were waiting for me on the computer desk.

Well, my husband truly surprised me!  He bought me a dozen gorgeous red roses and gave me a very sweet birthday card that made me bawl my eyes out!  I love that man so much!  He never ceases to amaze me!

Birthday date!

Kisses for the birthday girl!

My mother-in-law, who had been staying with us since May, was going to be headed home to Arizona this week. She stayed one more day, for my birthday, so my hubby could take me out!!!   Plus, we weren't ready for her to leave yet either! We miss you, GrandMama!

 

I picked Red Lobster for lunch! Eric has been wanting to go since they opened, but we haven't had a chance yet. I took advantage of that! ;)

We both ordered a 4 course meal special that they had. It came with never ending cheddar bay biscuits (and they are just as good as people rave), soup, salad, entree and dessert for $14.99 or upgrade for $4 more (which is what we did)!   Pretty good deal!  I had ceasar salad and clam chowder.  Eric opted for creamy potato bacon soup.  I took one bite of his and wished I had ordered that one instead. It was so creamy and yummy! I love clam chowder, but this totally topped it! 

I was teasing Eric, because he was eating a salad! He is not a big veggie person!

For my entree, I ordered Maui Luau Shrimp & Salmon.  It came with wild rice pilaf, steamed broccoli and pineapple pico de gallo! It was so good that I forgot to take a picture of it when it first came out!

Here it is, after I had already dug into it! So so good! I ate every last bite!

Eric ordered Honey BBQ Shrimp & Chicken, that came with steamed broccoli and garlic mashed potatoes. His was pretty tasty too! 

 

Overall, we were pretty impressed with Red Lobster. Our server was super nice.  He brought my brownie dessert and said that his birthday present to me was for him not to sing! LOL!  We must have gone at a great time of the day, because we were only like one of seven or so tables!   It's not an everyday restaurant, but I highly recommend it for special occasions!

 

           

Then, we came home and I got tons of birthday hugs from these two munchkins! I love my kids!

 

I had a super blessed birthday!
