Grandma L was so nice and came over last night for some quality time with Madeline so that we could have some time for ourselves. As has become our tradition, Josh took me out for a very nice dinner to celebrate my birthday -- 31 for those who need help counting. The destination is always a surprise (yay, I like surprises) and always a new place (yay, I like trying new places). This year, he braved the rush hour traffic and drove us into Raleigh for our reservation at JK's. It was delectable, delicious, delightful -- I could go on and on. I ordered the 14oz ribeye and, after commenting on how big it was when my plate arrived, I continued to eat the whole thing. Child-rearing apparently requires a lot of protein. Josh had the ribs (dry rub style). He, who only sparingly gives comments other than "it was OK" or "it was fine" to even the most tasty meals, said, "These ribs are seasoned perfectly," and I swear his eyes rolled back into his head from the joy he was experiencing via his tastebuds. JK's did right by us. Then we came home, curled up on the couch under a quilt, and watched Heroes and Bones on Tivo. It was a happy birthday.
