It’s my birthday today!! Hubby just surprised me this afternoon and told me we needed to leave right away for New York City where he arranged a special birthday dinner for me. Wow, I didn’t see that coming! I intended to finish this post right away but because of this “surprise”, I had to temporarily stop so I could prepare our clothes for the trip.

And what a surprise it was! I knew that we would be eating at a Filipino restaurant in Queens despite his not letting me know about it at that time. It made sense because it’s been a while since we went to a Pinoy eatery and he knew that would totally delight me, of course! While we were about to begin eating, by the door suddenly appeared someone familiar.

Apparently, my sister was in Canada previously and then she and Mark made some arrangements so she could visit me for my birthday! That was awesome!
