A Weekend of Celebration (with tons of pictures!)

Last Thursday, our dear friend Jerome turned 25. This weekend was a celebration of that milestone. 

Friday. 

In typical Andrew, Jerome and Alex fashion, we started off the celebration by going to St Louis (the three of us have been going to the same location for years). Although Jerome's birthday was on Thursday, I told the server his birthday was today (Friday). At the end of our meal, the server came out with a slice of delicious Lindtt cake, which Jerome couldn't eat due to a nut allergy. Instead, Jerome got a free pint and we got the cake! Sweet deal!

"This looks delicious but I can't eat it. I'll pose with it though since Alex is forcing me to."

Saturday.

Basically, Jerome has the best family ever. They organized a huge birthday celebration for him and we were in charge of getting him there.

We showed up at his house (much to his surprise) and took lots of selfies (in order to keep him busy. Of course).

When we got the okay from his sister, we blindfolded him and shoved him into the car (to the shock and horror of a lady across the street).

 

Leading Jerome out of the car and into the hall with almost 200 of his friends and family was all parts fun and exciting. The look on his face when the blindfold came off was priceless. 

Then we ate!

And drank. 

Got quizzed on how well we knew Jerome.

And drank.

Watched some dancers. 

Took tons of photos.

Danced our butts off.

Then guided Jerome's drunk ass home, so Andrew and him could cuddle. 

Sunday.

Sunday was recovery day. Andrew and I slept in later than we have in quite some time. The rest of our day was spent doing chores which is by no means blog worthy. 

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

It's My Birthday! Let's Have Cake!

Sept 27, 2011
at the C.N.Tower restaurant

There's only one thing I ever want on my birthday: cake! Is it really a celebration if cake isn't involved? Basically, I plan to eat cake today and celebrate that I've officially turned 26!

I apologise for the crappy picture quality

My amazing friend, Kat, got the celebration started early by bringing me this wonderful gift last night: homemade brownies, macaroons, Kinder Surprise and a super awesome card. Thank you, Kat!

Bye bye, old apartment. I already don't miss you.

And! Andrew and I finally got the last bit of moving done! That's it! We're finally done moving! Woohoo!

For my birthday, Andrew told me he wanted to take me somewhere for the weekend, specifically NYC. Since we've been to New York before, I wanted to go somewhere else; I finally decided on Michigan, simply because there's an awesome haunted house there. I'll be sure to report back on our little getaway!

Have a great weekend everyone!

September Means Birthdays

When I was a kid, September was my favourite month; simply because my birthday is at the end of it.

As you get older, you realize it's not always about you. And you end up meeting people who mean a whole lot to you. And then you discover that some of those people also have birthday's in September and it's just as exciting to you as your own birthday.

This easily explains my top 5 for this week:

 one. The love of my life turns 25 today. I think I'm more excited than he is for our dinner tonight. Unfortunately, his gift is currently in the process of being shipped and won't be here by today, so he'll just have to keep waiting.

two. My dear friend Theresa had her birthday on Wednesday. We took a ton of photos that night and they all pretty much looked like that. That's how you know we're cool.

three. Birthday's mean cake. I love cake.

four. Andrew dragging me to the airport so he can work on the plane causes me to take really weird artistic photos.

five. Andrew made friends with Theresa's bearded dragon and I thought it was the cutest thing ever. 

Tomorrow we get the keys to our new place! Woohoo!

In celebration of his birthday, let's #backthatazzup with one of his jams.

 

Have a great weekend!
