D turned the big 2.9.

Derek's birthday was Thursday. He turned the be 29. He has less than 365 days left in his 20's. For his birthday we went to his parents for dinner that night. We had steak, potatoes, and mushrooms. After that we went to Houlihan's for a drink or two.

As Derek's birthday is after Christmas, it is sometimes hard to think of gifts for him. He disliked hate my idea. It thought it was great, but he didn't. I thought I could get him a piece of luggage. He said no. So anyway's I gave him money towards a dirt bike (it is his obsession, but this is a whole other story on its own). I also gave him a bacon tray, thick bacon, and this.... A Bacon Bowl.

He saw a commercial for these and insisted on having it. He can't wait until it arrives. Anyways after doing dinner with his fan on Thursday, we celebrated more this weekend. Saturday we started with lunch at Murry's with a cocktail. He got a nap, then sushi and the casino. Just what he wanted to do :).  We went with one of his buddies and only lost 40.00. I forgot how much I dislike the casino. It was crowded and people can smoke in there. We can home and stunk...'

All in all I think it was a great birthday weekend. 

Christmas and Happy New Year!

Between being in Oklahoma and being sick, I have not been blogging. I'm feeling better and back at it.

For Christmas I got this beautiful watch from my love.

I also must have been really good because Santa left me another present at Derek's parents house. I got this beautiful cross necklace.

Derek got a TON of things. He got so many new clothes for his job, new USC hoodie, DVDs and of course SEE's candy :)

We had a great Christmas with Derek's family on the 30th. We even had a pianist come play for an hour. We exchanged gifts and ate wonderful appetizers. 

And being that I was super sick, we did NOTHING for NYE. Happy 2014 everyone!
