early celebration

Taylor left yesterday morning for tour. He'll be gone for 25 days. In the middle of those weeks, he will be celebrating his 25 birthday. Needless to say, I have been so upset that I am not going to be able to see him on his special day. We did take advantage of his last few days at home and celebrated.

Tuesday night we went to dinner at one of his favorite places, Lek's. I made his favorite dessert for after dinner.. strawberry pretzel salad. It's one of the first things that my mom made when we started dating and quickly became one of his favorite things. A little bit of a pain to make.. but so worth it.

Wednesday after work, we drove to Greenville to meet my parents for dinner. They haven't seen Taylor in a couple of months and wanted to make sure that they were able to before he left on Thursday. We ate at this new restaurant that they had heard about from some friends. We loved the food but the company was great. We stayed there for 3 hours before finally getting up from the table.



I loved every minute of getting to celebrate his birthday early and spending as much time together as possible before he left town. These next weeks are going to be hard but it'll all be worth it once he gets come home again for a few days!
