birthday weekend fabulousness!
Wow, what a completely fabulous few days celebrating my birthday!
Thursday night Hams was in town, so we met him & a few other friends at the Hemlock and enjoyed a few cold beers on a hot night. I hadn’t even really wanted to go out that night for whatever reason (although of COURSE I wanted to see hams), but was glad I did. I actually thought I’d just go for a beer or two & slip out around 11 or 11:30, but (so sweet) my friends were like “you’re not going anywhere, your bday is in 27 minutes!” haha. Ok, twist my arm.
Then, just when we thought SF couldn’t get any hotter, Friday was super super hott! I woke up feeling great and greeted by a number of lovely texts, comments & emails… aww heart! Then, got ready & headed down to South Park where I had an awesome birthday lunch with Hillary & Tara. Yay… love those girls!
Then, that evening, my BFF girls took me out for my birthday dinner at Andalu. So yummy! And wow, look at this photo… aren’t all my fabulous girlfriends soooo pretty!? Love you ladies soo much! xoxo
So, all this time, little did I know my last minute plan to have drinks with a few friends at the Kilowatt afterwards had been secretly USURPED! While we were at dinner, Aubrey said she’d left her card at the 500 Club the night before, and asked if we could all go by there to get it before Kilowatt. Since we had time & it was only a block away (and gorgeous weather), I was like “ok, sure.”
So we get there & I even said, “So we’ll just wait out here (outside)?” And she goes, “Oh, no, just come in for a bit.” Oh aaallright. :) So we walk in & I see this whole booth full of people with newspapers over their faces (I wish I had a photo of that!). And the first thing I think is it must be one of those Improv Everywhere stunts, and they just happened to have chosen this bar right at this moment… haha!
So we walk in & apparently the first thing that happened – Ryan had to remind me of this because it all happened so fast – was Ryan was standing in front of me & I go, “what are you doing here?” haha! and he goes, “um, surprise?” and I go “what!!?” and everyone yells “SURPRISE!!” and the newspapers come down & it was all my friends!! HAHA!! SO AWESOME!!! I had no idea!!
It totally took me awhile to even figure out what had just happened. I mean, um hello!? weren’t we supposed to be over at the Kilowatt right now!? ak! haha! It was incredible. A ton of great friends stopped by throughout the night & it was such a blast!
SURPRISE!
Thank you all SO MUCH for being SO awesome. I’m *so* grateful to have each & every one of you in my life!
