You\u00a0certainly made my 24th birthday one to remember. Everything was a surprise. You\u00a0came over to my apartment at about 11am on the morning of my birthday. \u00a0We decided to go out to breakfast, but not before you\u00a0presented my with a giant bag of presents. You\u00a0hand-crafted a giant card full of photos of us and a map of places we wanted to see together, not to mention a lovely letter.<\/p>\n
We went to the Highland Park diner for breakfast, then you\u00a0surprised me with a canoe trip. I love canoeing! It was the perfect day for it too. Next, you\u00a0took me to Casa Larga Vineyards for a wine tasting. We went back to my apartment and passed out on the couch, tired from paddling all morning. Then you\u00a0took me out for yet another surprise, dinner. We ate at Espada Brazilian Steakhouse where guys walk around with 32 different types of meat and you use a two-sided circle to tell them if you wanted more or not. It was like a buffet of meat that came to you.<\/p>\n
We went across the way to Salina’s for drinks before heading home to watch a movie. It was a great day that was just a small part of an amazing birthday weekend together. Thanks baby, I love you!<\/p>\n
P.S. You\u00a0got me balloons. \u00a0I haven’t gotten balloons on my birthday in years :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
