29 and feeling fine....





Yesterday was the big 29 for me. It started with wonderful words from Justin, Starbucks/treats/presents from Ruppy in my classroom and she decorated for my birthday, lunch out with Christy, many many texts / emails / facebook / blog posts by friends from all over, and dinner with Carrie & Randy, Christy & Brad, Justin & Dett.

For dinner everyone made the drive down PCH to south Laguna Beach to Eva's Caribbean Kitchen. I saw this restaurant on a Season 1 episode of the Hills and have been with Justin a few times and even took my mom once. It is a restaurant that used to be a small house, the kitchen is almost connected to the restaurant, it's tiny and colorful, and the staff and food are excellent.It reminds me of a tropical vacation in our backyard.  I had super Cajun spiced prawns, curry chicken, a great glass of red wine (just one) and bananas flambe and mango sorbet. The night was perfect. I had a great birthday, got some wonderful gifts (thank you), and am going out to continue the birthday weekend with Justin's parents tonight and to L.A. for Saturday and Sunday. I love birthdays...even if I say I don't care...I do.
