Strawberries in Wine & Chocolate

My Birthday.

It all started, waking up in the morning and realising Dawn and Chris were still in bed, when they said they were leaving before I even wake up. I walked in and am about to wake up Dawn when Chris looked at me and smiled. I asked him, ' I thought you were suppose be gone before I got up?' He asked, 'What time is it?' 'Twenty past seven.' 'Shit! Dawn, your alarm didn't go off.'
It gave me a chance to say goodbye to them this morning seeing as I wasnt going to see them before they go to New Zealand. Dawn gave me a big hug and wished me happy birthday and said, 'My alarm did go off, but I think I turned it off and went back to sleep :p' Haha.

From there I went to class where I was greeted with many birthday wishes from my friends. We had a small party for the end of class and my birthday with some fabulous cheesecake made by my teacher Chris. After that I met Nick at Oakleigh station and we headed into the city for the night.
Park Hyatt Hotel
We checked into the Park Hyatt. Such a big and beautiful hotel. We got our key and Nick managed to direct us to the wrong elevator, typical :) The room was magnificent, the view was interesting. You saw the little gardens behind the pool.

King Size Bed
The bedroom/bed was ginormous. It practically swallowed me whole. The doona was filled with feathers and the mattress was so soft; I could've stayed there all night.

Bathroom, including spa bath.

The bathroom looked like it was sparkling with diamonds, that's how bright it was. The bath was even better and later that night, Nick brought out candles and lit them around the bath itself and we had strawberries dipped in chocolate and wine while we relaxed in the bubbles. I felt all my stress release from my body and was content staying there for an hour or so.

Before the bath though, we went and saw Jersey Boys. We sat six rows from the front. It was fantastic! And with Nick sitting there in his suit, he could've almost joined them; it would have been funny seeing him try to sing that high. The music and dancing were incredible and I just loved it!
The whole night was amazing. Nick took me on the ferris wheel that lived near the MCG. You could see the whole city from up there. The south bank shimmered in the lights from the Casino and Arts Centre. The breeze was on my face and Nick was yelling everytime we got to the top. It was the best surprise! It was just the two of us going round and round. The whole night was something I could only dream about.

Waking up was very hard indeed. I really didnt want to leave. Shower and dressed and away we went. Then a couple of minutes wait for the person who brings up the cars to bring up Nick's. Then the hotel was just a distant memory before it became a tiny speck in the background. It was a night I would never forget and the best birthday ever! Thank-you, Nick. xx
