Fill in the Blank...Sunday and Birthday Recap!

Lauren over at The Little Things We Do does a fun blog on Fridays however, I traveled down to DC for my birthday (yeaaaa!) so I missed it. Here it is:

 

 

1. The first thing I do in the morning to start my day is: check my iPhone for Twitter, Facebook, emails and texts. Then I make my way to the shower and to brush my teeth and of course, get my usual dose of caffeine aka coffee!

2. Today I wish I was: at the Phillies game!!!! We are playing the Cincinnati Reds and I'm really hoping for a sweep!! Let's GO PHILLIES!!!!!!

3. If I had an extra $100 in my bank account today I'd: save it!! Nick and I found an apartment today (more on that at the end) so I know that we need to save as much money as possible.

4. Tomorrow I will be exploring some more of DC with Nick and getting to know our new area of Reston, VA. Hoorayy!!!!

5. Two things that don't go together are the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles (I prefer the latter). Nick and I are finding out that mixing two households together are not always easy:o) Especially when rival sports teams are involved. However, I am doing the decorating for our new apartment so I choose the EAGLES!!!!!!!! lol

6. Something I can never pass up at the grocery store is fruit. If I could, my entire fridge would be filled with fruit. It's so delicious!!

7. The last time I tried something new was last night when Nick took me to dinner for my birthday. I very rarely eat red meat but I ordered a filet mignon and ordered it to be cooked medium...when it came out I thought it was RARE (it was realllyyyyyyy red) but I ate it and my gosh it was AMAZING. It melted in my mouth.

*A Quick Birthday Recap*

Saturday morning, Nick and I left very early to travel to DC (I had to work until very late Friday night). When we arrived I was treated to a wonderful pedicure to start the weekend off the right way:o) AAHHHHHHHHH so relaxing!

 I came back to get changed for a special night out with the love of my life. He surprised me and took me to a restaurant called the Old Ebbitt Grill which is located right next door to the White House!! This is also the place we went to on our first date and my first trip down to DC-so this was very special to me! We had an INCREDIBLE dinner complete with a glass of sparkling champagne and headed off to another surprise...

A rooftop bar at the W Hotel just a few doors down. Nick actually knocked my socks off with this one. I still smile when I think of what I saw when I walked out onto the rooftop terrace of this hotel. It was a complete panoramic view of DC. From the Washington Monument, you could see all the way down to the Lincoln Memorial allllllllllll the way across to the other side of the city. My gosh the view was breathtaking. VERY special! Not to mention the hotel was really posh-the ladies in the lobby walked around with earpieces and iPads--hello!!

To complete the night I was surprised yet again with a tour I've been dyinggggg to do: a twilight tour on a double decker open air bus to see all of the Washington monuments lit up at night. Again, we had an incredible time and I will never forget it. I will post pics later, they are really neat to see:o)

Today we woke up and decided to go look at two apartments to start our search. After researching and getting feedback from websites, we had it narrowed down to a bunch that we knew were winners and in a good area. We went to see the first one on our list and LOVED it! Everything about it was great and in our price range (woohoo! a plus!). We talked and drove around, checking it out some more and decided that this was the place for us!  We filled out our formed, got the approval and we are now OFFICIALLY moving in together!!!!!!! We sign the lease this Tuesday and Nick picks up the keys on Thursday, the 21st. Today's date is 10-10-10 so we decided that 10 must be a lucky number for us:o) Again, pics to follow!!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!! What were you up to!?
