another turn of the year

Dressed up and happy with my surprise dinner. Scenes from Contigo. The amazing lilys.
We're out of town, and I've been too busy to blog, but wanted to make sure I gave big kudos to Dav for making my birthday last week special. He delivered beautiful lilys to my desk at the office, making my whole area smell lovely. Then, that night he arranged for the Regenbogens to Tesla-sit while we went to dinner at Contigo, where I've been wanting to go forever. Contigo just opened, and the owner Brett, has been blogging about the experience on TypePad (yay!). Brett is Rachel's friend, and he came to our house just before Rachel moved.

I loved the food, and we had a nice bottle of red wine. We shared a halibut dish, but my favorite was the potatoes with an aioli sauce. I'm not a dessert fan, but Dav got a creme brulee that was so good I ate more than few bites.

It was a casual night, but I loved it. Here's to nice dinners with husbands, no matter what day!
