Happy Birthday Sophia

I can’t remember the last time that my inbox was this quiet on a Monday morning that isn’t a holiday. I suppose the Monday after the Super Bowl is an unofficial holiday and maybe we should just combine it with President’s Day at this point.

On another note, we spent the weekend celebrating Sophia’s 35th birthday which is tomorrow. On Friday, we got our group of friends together for an amazing dinner at Ilcha on Union. It was elevated Korean bar food and the hype was justified. Even more memorable than food was the fact that our friends and I probably let loose a little too much. We drank like we were celebrating a 25 year old birthday, not a 35 year old one.

Needless to say Saturday was a bit of a wash for me. We ran a few errands and took it rather easy for most of the day. At night, I took Sophia to Itria in the Mission which was another restaurant that we had been wanting to go to for the last year. The crudos and the pastas were amazing there.

This birthday would mark the 5th birthday that we’re celebrating together. I suppose this is really early on in our lifetimes as 5 years is really nothing in a relationship. But it also means that Sophia has put up with me for over 5 years which is no small feat. I count my blessings everyday that I met someone who volunteers to be with me for life. I’m a lucky dude.
