Side note: I turned 24 on September 24th and just now realized I never published this post :)
I have heard that it is your "special" birthday when your birthday falls on the age you are going to be. Kyle knows how much I love my birthday and this year he did not disappoint with making me feel special. When I came home from
Nashville I had these Wheel of Fortune clues waiting for me.
"In 8 days you will be 24!!!!!!!!"
"In 7 days we will be going somewhere"
"Make sure you look good for the night"
The week leading up to my birthday I got clues. It felt like Christmas because I would wake up and a new clue would be waiting for me
"To my wife I can't wait to see you all dressed up"
"Sept. 24 sleep in and relax"
"The Lord will lead you on Sept. 24"
"The night will be filled with love and laughter"
"If only you knew what we were doing"
"O how the roses are so red!!!"
"It will be fun to let someone else do the work"
"I bet the H2O is going to look so nice"
"The beach is not going to be that far away"
"But I think it is closed"
"I hope the weather is nice for us"
"Make sure to bring your camera"
I had been telling the girls at work about my clues and they were all trying to figure out what Kyle had planned. With the clues I was not sure what we were doing. Were we going on a trip? Were we going to Mason which is by the beach water park (which is shutdown)? The night finally arrived for us to go out for my birthday.We head downtown and Kyle seemed alittle flustered once we got downtown and he realized Oktoberfest was going on. We parked the car and waited for my first surprise. Kyle had planned for a carriage ride to pick us up at our parking garage and take his to dinner but with Oktober fest going on we could not meet at our original location so we had to wait for the carriage. Kyle said that it would never happen in the movies that the carriage would be late :) We hopped in the carriage and Kyle tells him to take us to "Morton's". I have never heard of this place and am still not sure what we are doing. We arrive at Fountain Square and Kyle starts directing me to our next destination. Kyle is looking up and sees the sign for the second floor of the building and tells me to walk into this restaurant. We walk in and Kyle tells them we have reservations and they sit us. The waiter explains how the restaurant works, you have a red and green card, green means you want the meat they are walking around with and red means you don't want to be bothered. They had a fancy salad bar that we ate at and then brought around all kinds of expensive meats. Half way through dinner I ask Kyle why he picked this place and he looks at me and says "Well....you see....this is not the restaurant I made reservations for...we're really supposed to be next door". We both started cracking up at the table. Morton's is right above Boi na braza (which is where we ate) and Kyle thought we were going into the right restaurant. At Morton's when we walked in the restaurant they were suppose to say Happy Birthday to me and take our picture {hence why I do not have any pictures from the night because Kyle told me it was taken care of :)}. When the hostess did not do any of those things at Boi na braza Kyle was thrown off but went with it.
Dinner was great, even if we were not at the right restaurant and Kyle gave me a new bible with my married name on it and 24 roses with two of them white for the two years we have been married.
Monday Kyle had told me he had to work but surprised me with being off too. It was such a treat for both of us hang together. Thanks for making me feel special and for a birthday we will not forget :)
