Rob surveys his neighboorhood and thinks of improvements we will implement
The rest of our day was spent enjoying the Crystal City landscape, walking along one of the bike trails, and wandering all over Arlington. It was a gorgeous day for my husband's birthday and we couldn't have been happier than to spend our time together, hand in hand, enjoying the warm weather.
We wrapped the day up by putting together our new queen sized bed, which now holds our new, plush, pillow-top mattress. We were quite thrilled with our new bed purchase and had some laughs putting it all together!
"What's this?" Rob asks towards the end of bed-putting together sessionOur new European styled bed!
The following week seemed to fly by and before we knew it Rob was making his way down to Norfolk for the next chapter in our celebration of Rob's birthday month and another set of Mandle Adventures. Rob had the great idea to spend that Saturday at the Back Bay Nature Preserve in Virginia Beach. Neither of us had been there before and we fell in love with the rugged landscape with over 12,000 acres of protected coastal and marsh habitat. The weather was beautiful and calm for our visit. We hope to visit again!

Spreading out a blanket, we spent a good 4 hours on the beach....very romantic....something we must do again!!
And now I will complete this birthday story with a few words for Rob: We must live our lives in such a way as to celebrate each moment together. Just being together is a gift and a pleasure. We live to give love. I hope we keep this in mind as we move through our lives together and look forward to many more birthdays, birthday months, and many more adventures to fill the pages of our story.
