Cameron has been talking up my birthday weekend for months now and had so much planned but sadly his dad fell ill about 2 weeks before my birthday and Cameron & Bradley decided on the spur of the moment to go to South Africa. Dad had triple bypass surgery on Saturday the 20th of July. Bradley & Cameron were able to arrive in South Africa on Friday the 19th and were able to see dad before he went into surgery which was awesome. They spent 2 weeks in South Africa (well 10 days) and got back to this side of the world on Thursday the 1st of August. Cameron was adamant he would be home for my birthday and he was. BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER! I can't express how hard it was without him. Both Darian & I pined away for him and were both super excited when he got home.
Needless to say he was very jet-lagged when he got home but still insisted we celebrate as best we could. At midnight he surprised me with my birthday gift, a beautiful peridot ring, which is my birthstone and my favourite colour too....
I had taken my birthday off so we took Darian to school that morning and headed to the Stamford Plaza for breakfast. It was a nice, relaxing morning.
We then picked Darian up from school and headed back home so my dear husband could have a bit of a sleep.
On Saturday our friends Premika & Lenny came over with their daughter Kajal and CAKE! So they sang happy birthday and we got some Nando's for dinner.
It was a great evening and I'm so glad I got to celebrate with our friends.
On Sunday we headed out to dinner at Y-Not on Princes Wharf. We had a lovely time, just the three of us.
All in all it was a wonderful birthday celebration. I can't complain about being in my thirties, I have an amazing husband and son and life is just perfect! What else could I ask for.
