My Birthday started out getting together with my friend Natasha. We have been meaning to get together. So starting my birthday off getting to know her better and having a glorious breakfast at Daughters Cafe was just perfect. Thanks Natasha!
If you have never been to Daughters cafe you are missing out! It is a restaurant near the Truckee river in downtown Reno. Barb and Bianca have created an atmosphere that is like going to grandmas for breakfast. It is warm, cozy, personal, and the food is always fantastic!
During the summer it is wonderful. They open up their outdoor seating
on the patio. You get to sit and just enjoy the weather and maybe enjoy some
New Orleans style beignets. They are to die for :) Not your dine in a hurry
type of place but I have never been disappointed in the food or the
service in the four years I have been a regular guest. So if you ever
need a lunch date, let me know, I would love to show you Daughters Cafe.
I have to admit I was shocked when I found this picture from one year ago. (the one on the left) The picture on the right is from Friday. A year ago I was 230 pounds. I am now 200. (199 is teasing me!) I have lost 30 pounds and it is showing. This time I am keeping it off. Having a support group and a plan are key. Comparing the pictures was a great boost to turning 30.
The day ended with LaDawn and I sharing dinner with a few friends at Sushi Club. My abs hurt so much the next day just from the amount of laughing we did. It was wonderful to have a small group of people come together and share a meal. It was the perfect ending to a great day!
So if ANYONE else had given me notebooks and organizational products for my birthday I might have been insulted. But seeing how they came from Bill and Kim it meant the world to me. I was really excited! They know that One of the things that really bothers me about myself is my inability to stay organized. It is something that we have prayed about in our weekly small group. I definitely need help in the cleaning department. So because of this wonderful gift I have been inspired to clean and organize my home office. The fact that you can see the floor and the desk top is quite shocking. So thank you so much Bill and Kim! I already have put them to good use. now onto cleaning and purging the rest of the house!
Have a Happy Healthy Day!
this is your new comment-er here. I am glad you had a great birthday!!!! Hope the rest of the day was spent with those who you are closest with.
ReplyDeleteBetween friends and family I had a wonderful day. There were a few people I would have loved to see, but most of the day was with the kids, which was wonderful!
