We celebrated my last birthday pre-mom-hood with my parents at Rise, a French restaurant in Dallas specializing in Souffle. In a sense, we were re-living an experience from last summer, when Ashley and I met up with my parents in Paris and went to Le Souffle, a restaurant that my mom had been to when she lived in Paris over 30 years ago. So nice that it was still there. We had three courses of souffle, and while they are lovey, airy little things, we were all quite full by the end of the meal. And although Ashley said he might have had his full of souffle for the next decade or so, he was game for a more moderate souffle experience (i.e. just one course, not three!).
Afterward, Ashley surprised me with a birthday cake and candles as well as the most ginormous mylar balloon I've ever seen. The best part was the cats reaction to the balloon. Wiley couldn't be in the same room with it for about three days. My birthday wish? Can't tell...but I sure hope it counts because I think I just BARELY managed to get all the candles blown out in one breath.
