Since my birthday was on a Thursday this year, we celebrated on the weekend. On Friday I found a surprise in my cubby at the gym. A llama mug from my friend Nariana and her little boy, Oliver! Nariana and I have only known each other a short time, but we immediately clicked when we met. She and her husband have graciously allowed Melissa and I to use her farm as our wedding venue.
On Friday evening we went to the 200th birthday celebration of Jessi’s hometown and on Saturday we went back, this time with Jessi’s BFF, Candyce and her fiance, Brye. After the birthday celebration, we went to Candyce and Brye’s house for a game night.
MY BIRTHDAY SURPRISE!
Melissa and I are not really “things” people so we decided that for our birthdays we are going to do special adventure dates instead of presents. If you remember I took her to CoSi for the Harry Potter Wizard School event for her birthday. Yet another tradition we started that I love.
Melissa took me to the Franklin Park Conservatory! They have a Chihuly glass exhibit as well. His pieces are absolutely beautiful.
After the Franklin Park Conservatory she took me to one of my favourite restaurants, The Hofbrauhaus!
My 35th year Earthside is off to an amazing start.
We got a “love fern” (anyone know what movie that’s from?) to commemorate our adventure!
I’m a happy German girl!
An Awfully Big Adventure
