Happy Birthday to ME – A photographer’s turn in front of the camera

Thank you to all my wonderful friends and couples who wished me a Happy Birthday yesterday! I had an amazing day even though I got one year older. lol.

The day started with a new hair do at Nicholas J. Salon in South Bend where I went ombre! Next, I came back home to find a sweet card and a Nike Apple Watch band waiting for me on our bed! Micky and I got dressed up and headed to Beutter Park for our own photo shoot. I had my assistant Grace take a few shots of us for our Christmas card and just to have. It was like 15 degrees with the wind chill so it only lasted about 10 minutes. Brr

After freezing to death we did a little shopping to kill time before our reservations at La Salle Grill. Every birthday Micky takes me there because it is my absolute favorite place to eat in this area. We both had the wood grilled char with lobster Mac and cheese. YUM! Then later my dessert arrived with a cute pink candle in the middle… awe!

We came home and watched reruns as we feel asleep… perfect day!

Thank you Micky for spending another year with me, love you! <3

 We are very silly together!
