30th Birthday!

Damn, I hate that little '3' in the front of my age now. Oh well. My actual birthday was on Wed and MB took me out. We've only been going out for 6 weeks and I told him he didn't need to get me anything, but he took that for the lie that it was. Instead, he surprised me with a bottle of my favorite perfume - Chance by Chanel. I don't wear perfume a lot, but I had a little tester of it and really like it. I'd worn it once a month ago and he mentioned that he really liked it. I offhandedly said the name and that I just had a little tester so I didn't wear it that often. We were in my room and I showed him it. Well, last week while I was on the phone with someone, he snuck into my bedroom to double check the name. So sweet. And it's a perfect gift cause it's something I wanted but would never have bought for myself.

For dinner he took my to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse where I've always wanted to go. Yes, it was good, but I don't think a piece of steak is worth $40. I'm not as much of a food connoisseur as he is. After, we went to Mozart's for dessert and sat by the lake for awhile. It was a wonderful birthday.

Everything with MB is going quite well. I can't believe it's been 6 weeks. He's very thoughtful and perceptive of what I say and my moods. He's starting to read me quite well (scary sometimes). Also, he really knows how to make a woman feel special. I've talked with some of my single girlfriends and we've all agreed that a lot of the single guys in their 30s/40s don't know how to treat a woman. They don't take the time to tell her she's beautiful or treat her like she's special. So few guys understand that importance of that. I am so lucky I met MB.
