It was my birthday yesterday. Hubby had a surprised for me, while reading my email, hubby sent an email for me that he is picking me up for lunch from work and has had reserved a room at Ameristar Blackhawk Casino. Half hour later hubby sent a text on his cell phone that he will be picking me up at 11:30am. I was not expected because I do not want to take an hour lunch so I do not have to stay an hour late at work, but he said to me It’s my birthday be there at 11:30 so I agreed. He came to my office and brought me a bouquet, and taken me lunch to the Vietnamese restaurant had a fiesta bowl noodle, which a very famous Vietnamese noodles, it was a delicious! I am so glad that hubby took me lunch for a noodle, in our Chinese tradition a birthday celebrant, good to have a noodles stand for long life. Came back to office after lunch and stood until my 8 hours. My friend called me wanted to check that she’s going with me to the bowling alley so she could play poker while I go bowl, but it changed, because it was unexpected hubby surprised for me that were spending a night at the casino and find someone who could  bowl for me, I try if my girlfriend could bowl it for me but she want to be around where I go which I do not blame her because she do not know people up there, so we agreed and decide to go with us at the casino. I do not know who could fill in for me because it was a short notice to let my team know what hubby had done surprising for my day. I asked my girlfriend if my son could bowl it for me instead having a blind bowl, she said yeah, and I checked with Shawn if he could bowl for me, luckily he had no practice on his football.  I checked with Yvonne (which we do a car polling) if she could pick my kids, Yvonne also in the bowling league with a different team, everything works out good, they had fun in the bowling. My girlfriend was at the Casino already because the plan that she would come home early night. We didn’t get there until 8:30 at the Isle Capri, my girlfriend, hubby and I had dinner and played a slot machine. It was funny because we did not check in our room until 1 pm, but the room was reserved that is why we did not concern. After we played at the Isle Capri my friend wanted to go at the Lodge so we dropped her off and will meet her back where she at. We went to Ameristar to check in, while paper works processing my baby Jeff came by at the front desk, my baby worked at the lobby desk, Jeff shown us the pool was on the 34^th floor because it closed at 11pm by the time we check in. Wow! The hotel is Fantastic, we were at the 30^th floor, nice room and view, were in heaven. Their spa and fitness is in 9^th floor. They had up to 34^th floor. We drop our bag onto our room and went to see my girlfriend at the Lodge and play slot machine again no luck, and then finally we went to our destination in Ameristar to played slot machine again until our eyes blinking really fall to sleep. My girlfriend want to drive back home but I did not let her because we stood very late. We went to bed at 5 am. My girlfriend was not expected of spending night or be up until in the morning so I told her she need to rest at least a short time before she hit back home. On our way home it was drizzle and very cold, we stop by and took pictures, very beautiful the mountain to see the trees covered by the snow.
