Long Awaited Date Night

May ninth was Tony's birthday. I wanted to make it special somehow, but kinda dropped the ball on that one. I ended up spending all day at work finishing up some stuff for the end of the semester. The next week brought finals and the following Philadelphia. May has been quite a busy month. Finally, once I got back from Philly, Tony and I got the chance to go on a date to celebrate his birthday.

Friday, once I got off of work, I biked down to the mall to pick up his birthday present. He was so excited when he opened it to find a kit full of electronic components. I also got him a textbook about how to write efficient code and once we actually received it in the mail its pretty much been all he's read. I love my nerdy man.

After he opened his present, we got in the car to visit downtown Iowa City for the first time since we both came down in February of 2012 for my visit to the University. In fact, I go to school most days, which is across the street from downtown, and I can count on (now) two hands how many times I've been downtown. Yes we live a slightly sad life.

We got all dressed up and made our way down to Short's for the best burger in Iowa City. It was pretty good. We were going to go to a movie, but we would have had to rush there so we ended up walking around downtown and ran into a little concert taking place in the Ped(estrian) mall. It was a well needed date and a well-worth-it wait for the celebration.

Happy 23rd Birthday Love!!
