It seems like summer has begun. It was 95 in DC today. Too hot for me. Memorial Day always signifies the beginning of summer. It also means my birthday.

This weekend the boyfriend treated me very well. We had nice dinners, nice times together, he took me to a Shear Maddness at the Kennedy Center and then to dinner at Kincaids. We went shopping, had dinner with a good friend, and enjoyed a relaxing lunch in the Bishop’s Garden at the National Cathedral.

He surprised me with a gift several times throughout the weekend. He would set the gifts out where he knew I would find them. For example, before bed on Friday night he laid out a new pair of sleeping pants on the bed. Then Saturday morning when I went to take a shower he had placed a bottle of cologne on my towel. Then at breakfast on Monday he placed a book about wine at my place setting. He’s so sweet and so creative. I love him!

The weekend was wonderful! I got lots of cards, e-mails, voicemails, and even a gift from Oregon! Thanks to everyone for making my birthday so special. Makes me wonder what will happen when I turn 50…in 8 years.
