so amanda planned a wonderful evening for me!! i am so blessed and so loved by the best person in the world! i had no idea what we were going to do this evening - but it has been incredible!! we ate dinner at this restuarant called bistro moderne and it was so great!! the funny thing is i ordered some wine that costs A LOT of money....oh well - its a birthday, right? after dinner the next surprise was that she got us a sweet room at Hotel Derek. so we headed up then and when we got here she had decorated the room in a football theme dedicated to the one and only TAMPA BAY BUCS! whoo hooo!! also, she got a pumpkin cheesecake and put together an amazing book for me of tons of friends letters to me. thanks to all for your words - they mean much more than you will ever know. thanks amanda for doing all this hard work and getting people to write to me. and to top it all off - tomorrow we have room service breakfast and 60 min massages in the massage suite! oh man. what an amazing bday. ok - time for the courvoisier...good night...
