SILVER MONKEY!

Today is my Boo’s 30^th Birthday. I am so excited for him!

The picture on the right is of a random monkey with the caption "Silver Monkey." Bruce likes to drink tea and about a year ago he told me about his Golden Monkey Tea and I made a joke about how the tea should be the SM (Silver Monkey) because of his gray hair. It was meant as a funny remark but it has stuck around. Not only has the SM joke been around for over a year, we use the monkey icon on Emoji to make each other laugh 24/7! The Picture on the Left is a picture from last week. We went to Culver's for a late lunch and the guy behind the register gave us the #30 for our order, it was hilarious and I had to take a picture of him holding the number. That picture is his current facebook profile picture.


The day started super early and after a few phone calls to my University and my mother’s hair appointment we decided to get Bruce a cake and surprise him! Unfortunately we (my mother and I) were the ones that got a surprise. I would like to know why is it that Bakeries do not open on Mondays?!?!?!? We drove around for about two hours looking for a bakery and we found NOTHING!

Beautiful Stained Glass
and Chandeliers at Tavern

Mom and I ended up getting a Tres Leches Cake for him. Bruce and I went to dinner at Tavern in Libertyville. What a beautiful restaurant, the dinning was recently redone and moved to the second floor. I loved the colors, the lighting, the wallpaper, the stain glass windows and the service was excellent! But the best part was having dinner with my Boo. We waited very patiently until 6:48pm rolled around so that we could properly celebrate Bruce’s 30^th Birthday!!!

his watch at exactly
6:48p.m.

Bruce took a picture of his watch as it changed to 6:48pm… silly boy! We enjoyed the toasted bread with the spread and I totally ate most if not all of the butter the waiter provided for us… I LOVE butter! Then for our dinner course, Bruce went for the 8in Steak with parmesan cheese and potato fries and I went for the Angel hair pasta with lots of delicious veggies.  The restaurant had great ambiance and the food was excellent!

Afterwards, Bruce and I came back to my parent’s casa and we “surprised” him with the cake and 30 magic candles! My mother played a video clip of Cepillin (a famous Mexican Clown that is well known for his children’s songs) and as Cepillin sung happy birthday to Bruce he tried his hardest to blow out the candles. That took a couple of minutes and in the end; I took care of it ;) We had cake with milk!

Eating his Cake!

Happy 30^th Birthday Bruce!!

 My Dear, Bruce, 

You are a wonderful Monkey, I am so lucky to have such a rare Monkey for a Pet! You are the best Monkey out there and I am sure the people at the Zoo are aware of their ASM (amazing silver monkey)

Ok, on a more serious note. Bruce, you are wonderful and I am so glad we had the opportunity to spend your birthday together. You had a long day at work and yet you managed to find the energy to blow out 30 magic candles! Dude, you are the bomb! I hope you enjoyed your 20s. Something tells me your 30s are going to be Awesome :)

Love You, Dude!
