There’s a ring I wear almost every day to help me remember all the blessings in my life. I call it my “freedom” ring. This past week was particularly wonderful and I felt it deserved a special celebration of the life I enjoy. My mom and I went to my favorite restaurant on earth this weekend – Fogo de Chao – in Kansas City to celebrate. I’ve been to their D.C. and Philadelphia restaurants, and the food and service are always unsurpassed.
Kansas City was the best of them all! I wore a white coat out – they brought an extra tablecloth to cover it when they hung it on the back of my chair. When I ordered my drink, I asked for tons of ice with my water (my normal mode of operation). Normally they bring your water out before you even ask for your drinks, and it arrived (as usual) while our first server was explaining things – and he sent it away because it did not contain enough ice. Within a minute, we had water with TONS of ice. Our servings were gigantic, and the cheese balls (my very favorite part) were never empty. I ordered a brazillian lemonade and one of our servers stopped by to give us the recipe of how to make them at home. We were well taken care of. Since I live so close (dangerously close!) I will be back. Often.
Some of the things I celebrated:
- my last name
- dark jeans
- cheetos
- the color red
- fantastic girlfriends
- country music
- the iphone
- my own business
- spanish
- my education
- my beliefs
- my family
Life is worth celebrating every single day. There’s a quote I love that says “The best things in life aren’t things.” That’s so true – and I was happy to celebrate some of those things this weekend.
