Last week, we celebrated Eugene's 26th birthday! We made it a week-long event, finding little opportunities in between our work schedules to celebrate another year of life and to praise God for His faithfulness in Eugene's 26 years of life.
The celebrations started on Sunday. We met up with Eugene's friends to do a dual birthday celebration (happy bday Alex!) over some good sushi and expensive/fancy ice cream at Creamistry.
We both had the day off from work on his actual birthday - which is a tremendous gift in and of itself in this season of our life. (Super rare!) I asked Eugene to pick 3 things to do on his birthday (anything in the world- no restrictions!). Eugene is such a simple guy - so it was no surprise to me when he chose 3 very simple (and sweet!) things to do for his birthday.
His first request was to try the lobster rolls at SLAPFISH.
We checked in through yelp because they were offering their WORLD FAMOUS lobster toast for free with every check-in. I don't know if that mini-lemon wedge or that sliced radish can give you any sort of reference for the generous treat that they provided us... but it was delicious nonetheless. :)
Eugene got the lobster roll.
I got the lobster grilled cheese.
It was delicious, but we both agreed it might not be somewhere we'd frequent - just because of the price.
His second request was to just spend time at home, "chill" and watch Netflix. We did just that. We also took a nap and it was glorious.
For his third wish - Eugene requested for sushi (again! It's his fave) and because my mom's birthday was just a few weeks ago - we celebrated both of their birthdays over some good sushi and home-made banana cream pie. (Thanks Kat!)
It was a good week of celebrating - but I really never need occasion to praise God for Eugene or to be reminded of how lucky I am that God chose me to be his wife. Every year, every day I spend with him - I find more and more reason to give thanks for the loving/hardworking/faithful husband that He is and the amazing man of God He is growing to be.
So thankful to be able to live my life with you and that we are running this race together. Cheers to another year of learning, growing and rejoicing together!
Xoxo
