{Delightfully} Unexpected Date Night!

We aren't the type to go out much during the week, especially with our hectic schedules as of late. But last night we made an exception and had a lovely date night at The Melting Pot!

Seeing as a gift certificate we purchased at a youth auction several months back was about to expire and every attempt we had made to go during the weekend had failed, we decided to do the unusual and go on a mid-week date.

And even though I had been up since 4am, worked all day, exercised and trained clients, I managed to make myself look decent and had a wonderful time with my sweet husband having all kinds of yummy fondue. We were even seated in a cute little private booth!

Totally unplanned and completely perfect!

We enjoyed artichoke cheese fondue, a dark and white chocolate dessert fondue and even a few glasses of champagne! It was quite the splurge!

Birthday Weekend!

I know it seems a bit premature for this post, since my actual birthday is Sunday, however, seeing as today is my Friday and I am enjoying a nice LONG 4-day weekend, you get it a bit early!

I am feeling quite giddy this morning because while I've had a hand in planning some of this weekends activities, there are apparently a few surprises waiting for me. I can't wait to find out what they are!

One thing I do know, after work, Mom and I will be getting our customary birthday mani and pedi! A little peek at some plans include: wine tasting and picnicking in Napa, a 10-mile run and Awful Annie's amazing banana pecan waffles.

And while we're on birthdays, I want to wish my lovely mother-in-law a wonderful birthday today!! Jeannine, you are a gem. Wishing you a delightfully spoiled kind of day!

Have a splendid weekend!
