I had the Best Birthday ever from Rick this year. It wasn't the money spent, but the quality of time spent with me and the places he took me to. It started with Saturday night at the river listening to a live band play for about 4 hours. They were good and the name of the band was Vanguard, and they were from Lexington, Ky.
Before going out to hear the band play we went to Wendy's for Chili and a hamburger and fries. That was so we wouldn't get hungry while listening to the band. The band was appearing at Proud Mary's, a local restaurant at Clays Ferry, which also sold alcohol, so many people were drinking, eating and dancing while their kids played in a huge sandbox.
After we left Proud Mary's Rick was hungry so we stopped at a McDonald's, bought burgers and took them home to eat. The next day, which was really my actual birth date, Rick took me for a motorcycle ride and we ended up at Madison County Regional Airport. There was a big jet there, so we unlocked the gate and went inside the tarmac to get a closer view of the jet. We don't see too many small jets land here, but they do land here at times. We waited there and soon it boarded and took off, so we came on home.
We were waiting at home killing time for about an hour and then Rick was going to take me out for a birthday dinner at Derby City Truck Stop in Mt.Vernon, Ky. because I like to eat there and then we were going to go to Lake Linville and watch the sunset, but we didn't get to do any of this because a friend called Rick and asked him what we were doing, so Rick told them that it was my birthday and that I wanted to go out to dinner. They quickly told us to be ready in ten to fifteen minutes and they would pick us up and treat us to a birthday dinner. In about seven minutes they pulled up in a brand new Mercedes Benz and we were off for a great adventure in the country. We drove on roads we have never been on before and saw some of the most beautiful countryside that I had never been to or seen before. After about an hours drive we ended up somewhere near Nicholasville at a Malone's Restaurant. There I was treated like the Princes that I am, (haha) and we ate some of the most delicious food that I have tasted in a while. Nothing was spared, they even insisted that I have a goblet of wine with my meal. They all made me feel so special. They even sang Happy Birthday to me as loud as they could. We all had so much fun. On the long way home they turned on music that we could all relate to and we sang out loud all the way home.
It was a birthday that I won't forget. It's not often that I spend time with friends like that, and they said that they would like to do this more if it was alright with us. I'm looking forward to more fun times spent with friends, but next time I won't be drinking anymore wine. That was something that was just out of the ordinary for me and for Rick.
Rick wants to go back to Proud Mary's again next weekend, and I'm looking forward to it. Rick doesn't dance, and I do just fine wiggling around in my chair to the beat of the music. I'm quite content with that.
My two wonderful and loving daughters gave me an Adidas jacket that I love for my birthday, and I will be wearing it tonight when I go to watch Carson play ball. All in all, I had a wonderful birthday. My children have always made sure that my birthdays were great, but this year for the first time in nine years, Rick remembered my birthday and showed me that I was someone special to him and he made my birthday last for the whole entire weekend.
Thank you all for making me feel so special. I love all of you.
Oh, and I can't forget to mention the birthday videos that I received from Sharon & Bo, and from Megan & Myles. They were so cute.
