(Belated) birthday post

Hello everyone! Sorry for the lack of blogging lately - but we have been enjoying the summer and keeping busy. I wanted to share a couple of pictures from my birthday last month because it was SO fun. Luke took the day off from work (what a guy!) and we started out the day with breakfast at the Original Pancake House. For those of you who don't know - breakfast is my favorite meal and this is my favorite breakfast restaurant. It's the only place that doesn't take me 20 minutes to figure out what I want... because I get the strawberry crepes every time :)


After a long breakfast, we walked home, went for a bike ride, watched the Twins game and then Luke took me out for drinks at the Hancock tower. We actually haven't been there since moving here almost a year ago. Let me tell you - it was AMAZING! We went to the restaurant on the 96th floor (it was a long elevator ride) and the view was incredible.


Then we went to a seafood restaurant for dinner and had cupcakes for dessert back at our apartment. It was the perfect birthday!


Luke also told me that night that we had "tickets" for a special event that Friday. Even though he told me not to try and figure it out - I went straight to Google and investigated. But I still couldn't figure it out.

On Friday morning, I got a call from the front desk saying that there was a package we needed to sign for. I was still in my PJ's, so I threw some clothes on and went downstairs. I had no idea what the package could be and figured it was some obscure motorcycle part Luke had ordered. I turned the corner after getting off the elevator, and stopped in awe. Could this be real?
Is it really her?

My very best friend in the whole world, Miyong, was standing in the lobby!! I was so confused and so happy, I just started crying :) Turns out, she was in cahoots with my sneaky husband and surprised me for my birthday! She actually was there for work, but got to take a bunch of time off to hang out with me. And the show we went to that night was the comedy show she was there working on. Now THAT was the best birthday surprise EVER!

So, year 26 got off to a pretty great start...
