My Most Favorite Birthday EVER!
It’s 5:30 in the morning and I still can’t believe I’m in D.F. (Distrito Federal)
After taking a super long nap we were back on the streets of Mexico City.
Surprise #2, lunch at Contramar. The last time we were in D.F., Contramar was closed during the New Year’s holiday, so Dylan made sure that we weren’t going to miss out on one of the best seafood restaurants in town.
Caldo de camaron.
Tostadas de atun y tostadas de jaiba.
After lunch, we stopped by my favorite neveria, Neveria Roxy.
And then we had a snack at a local taco truck. Literally.
Probably some of the best carnitas I’ve ever had.
Dylan surprised me again with a dinner at Pujol. OMG. I was so amazed at Pujol’s haute Mexican cuisine. We both ended up having their 8 course meal which last 3 hours. By the time we were done, we were completely exhausted.
It was such an overwhelming day of surprises. I still couldn’t believe that I was in D.F. celebrating my 30th birthday. By the time we got home, all I wanted to do was sleep. But before walking in the door, Dylan stopped me and said, “I have one more surprise.”
“WHAT??? NO MORE SURPISES D!”
Dylan took his sweater off and did the best he could to cover my eyes without suffocating me. Then he walked me into the room and uncovered the blindfold…
And the first thing I thought was, “OH MY GOD OUR ROOM IS ON FIRE!”
There were candles everywhere along with petals spread all over the room. Just then, within milliseconds, I completely fell into tears. And as I was trying to wipe my face, Dylan was already on one knee…
And he asked me to marry him!
OH MY GOD…
WE’RE GETTING MARRIED!!!
After recovering from crying and laughing and drinking champagne, we ran downstairs to 7-11 to get a calling card to call our parents and siblings.
Although we wished we were surrounded with our family and friends, the D.F. locals around us heard the good news and ended up celebrating with us. For that moment they felt just like family because this was one of the most exciting days of our lives.
Once we get back we hope to be celebrating with you! Thanks for joining us on this journey for love and tacos.
