Catching Up: Part 1

Andrew and I have had a busy past few weeks. I'll start with my birthday.

I ended up working until the morning of my birthday, which was fine. Allie, one of my friends at work made me brownies, and my manager Heather brought a cookie cake. All delicious. After going home and sleeping, Andrew and I watched a little Lonesome Dove, and then headed to a surprise dinner. I didn't know where we were going, and we ended up at an Irsih pub called Birdie McKenna's. As we walk in the door, the lady who was going to seat us asked if we were there to eat or to go to the wiskey tasting. I immediatley knew Andrew was thinking, "Um, yes." Unbenownst to him, this pub was having a tasting of various kinds of Jameson wiskey that very night. No charge, no reservation needed. Who am I to say no to that? So, for my 24th birthday, I sampled a smattering of Jameson whiskey, concluding with a kind called Rarest which runs about $200 (or more) a bottle. And I can say that by the end, I could appreciate the differences in the types. Am I now a wiskey drinker? Hardly. We concluded the night with some friends from Trinity and some yummy curry fries (my new favorite pub food). Does my husband know how to treat a girl or what?
