A Belated Birthday Celebration

Image
M and I both had birthdays in early February.. and while we didn't get a chance to do anything then we made a point to celebrate when we did have the time. We started this tradition a year or two ago.. I met M in New York City when he got off work.. we had dinner at Obao.. which was incredible. and then went to go see Little Shop of Horrors at the Westside Theater.  It was a good show.. but we have seen better. I had posted about some of the shows we have seen a few years ago.. you can check it out here .  The next morning we had breakfast at The Smith. We caught up with my cousin who moved to the city a few months ago for school.  It was a beautiful day and we took our time walking back to the bus station.. to head back home.                        Etsy             Instagram             Twitter             Bloglovin

In fact it's something we forget to do even when we go out as a family.. it is usually him or I taking the picture.. and if we do by some miracle happen to both be in the same photograph.. together there is always a child in the mix.. we need to start taking more.. at least one picture of just him and I during any o
