What A Great Birthday!

Eric flew me out to Lakeland for my 30th birthday Friday and it was one of the best trips I have ever had. He spoiled and pampered me for a straight four days, it was a wonderful change. Eric picked me up from the airport around 10 AM and took me to lunch at Red Lobster. After Red Lobster it was off to the mall where we shopped like crazy, if I looked at it he was ready to buy it--that doesn't happen very often with him. He took me home so I could change and get ready for dinner and then it was back to Tampa for a couple drink and dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. What a wonderful evening, it was absolutely perfect!

Sunday we stayed home all day because my back was hurting again after all the walking we did Saturday, but I enjoyed the day of total relaxation. He left that morning to get donuts and he picked so food up at the store so we could make dinner. We had a nice shrimp boil and it was great to spend a whole day with Eric.

Monday morning I woke up to omelets (Eric makes the best veggie omelet I have ever had anywhere) and off we went shopping again. We spent most the day going here and there and then he took me to a very nice dinner Saltwater Grill.

Tuesday morning I woke up very depressed, I just didn't want to leave him, knowing that this was my last day with him until Christmas Eve just bummed me out. I moped around most the morning until finally he had enough and decided to do something to get my mind off of it and boy did it, I ended up in Wild Cats Tattoo where Eric bought me a tat. I got my lower back done by a great artist there, Greg, who had the gentlest hand I have ever had while getting ink, it was very smooth and not painful at all. Eric took pictures that I will post as soon as I remove them from my camera. Of course, I got some Wiccan art done and I love it, it's all black tribal with a pentagram in the middle and a crescent moon on top, and I have so many more ideas to add on to it.

So, all in all, I had a fabulous trip thanks to my wonderful husband and I needed a get away badly. I can't wait to see you next month, I just wish you could've made it here for Chip's birthday. I love you and miss you bunches and I think about you all the time. Sooner than later you'll be back here living with us and I can't wait, I know you can't either!
