What a Man!

Finally Derek has been getting home at a decent hour. I'm so glad to see him at night even if that means I need to think of dinner! :) However, the week that he worked crazy hours was also the week of my birthday. (And when I say crazy, I mean crazy....like 92 hrs in 1 wk!) Anyway I did get to have a quick lunch with him on the actual day but we just celebrated yesterday. So what did we do?



We went horseback riding in Half Moon Bay!!!! It was so awesome! I had mentioned once before that would be something I would want to do and he remembered! It didn't matter that neither one of us had been on a horse in many many years or that he was/is kind of afraid, he set it all up! He's such a great husband! We packed a picnic lunch to have on the beach before. He got wine, cheese & crackers, grapes, and dessert. The weather was awesome; it was a BEAUTIFUL day. It was about mid 70s with hardly any wind. Perfect weather for the beach!


We were on the horses for about 2 hrs thru trail and beach!! It was like a movie....riding on the beach....can you believe it? :) It was so cool because obviously it isn't something that we'll be able to do next year! They gave us hardly any direction which made Derek very nervous and he already was! He said he didn't really like it for the first half but once we got to the beach, he felt more comfortable. I loved it the entire time but man oh man our butts are sore today!
After wasting some time downtown, we headed to dinner at a brewery on the beach. We sat outside, sipped some beer and enjoyed the sunset! It was a perfect day! I told D that he set the bar high! What's up for next years birthday? :)



A few pics of the day. Are there enough Mom?

A little wine, a little cheese

Beautiful!

Our horses!

Me & Susie Q

Derek never found out his horse's name or whethere it was a boy or girl!

Sorry they're out of order! I can't figure out how to fix it! I hate that!

I'm single?

Not really. But I do slightly feel like that. Derek has started a 2 wk crazy busy schedule. He has to work to midnight or past every night and he has to work both weekends. Not it will sort of feel like I am. I understand that people have to work. I read blogs with women whose husbands are doctors and their schedules are Way worse than his. But come on, they are doctors, saving lives. Derek is an ACCOUNTANT! I'm pretty sure he isn't saving any lives with his work! A business- maybe, a life- not so much! :)

It really makes me want to be home. I'm pretty sour about this much working but I know he doesn't like/want it. I think that if we were in Il I wouldn't feel quite this upset cause I would have family and friends to keep me company. There isn't really anyone here. Maybe I'm kidding myself. I do have to work a bit more than usual so that at least should keep me busy. Well, its a little less than 2 months now. Can't wait!
