so over the weekend it was chads birthday. and i love birthdays. i think they are the most fun thing. i always get a little carried away -plan big long day activities, decorate the house, and know that i will be eating extra ice cream! and over the years because i get so excited about this, i have found that i love chads birthday more then i love mine. i am nuts! also, in our house, birthday celebrations are not just one day, it s a before the day, the day, and after the day type of thing.
so we started birthday weekend going to a cute pizzeria in south minneapolis called pizzeria lola. little did we know that in the middle of our dinner there would be a flash flood/thunderstorm that lead to the power going out! but in all reality it worked out greatly, we were lucky and had a window seat where we had a beautiful show of all of the rain and got to have an unexpected candle light dinner. it was great! though we did some other birthday festivities this was definitely a high light and a great story we will remember forever. not to mention the pizza was so delicious.
** because we were on a date just the two of us we didn't get a good photo, so being the photographer that chad is he went ahead and snapped this one of me- sometimes i wish i had his abilities!**
happy birthday chad!
