Saturday, my GOOD LOOKIN’ fiancé turned 23! I wanted to do something adventurous and memorable for his birthday, something that showed him how much I LOVE and appreciate him. Chase is always going the extra mile to make me feel special so I was determined to make his birthday ALL about him!
I picked him up around 12pm, on my way to get him, I picked up a shamrock shake (had to fit St. Patty’s Day in too). When we got to the car, I pulled out a bandanna and told him our destination was going to be a surprise! (He was such a trooper!)
We arrived at our destination, a friend’s BEAUTIFUL home tucked away from the city. Lunch was ready on the porch (hired the AMAZING Carrie Willink, you can check out her work here: http://atasteofjoy.blogspot.com/ )
Table display when we walked in….LOVELY! The menu for the afternoon, was:
A four course meal including Fruit Skewers with Sweet Cream Dip, Fresh Garden Salad, Lemon Pepper Taliapia, Zesty Rice, Green Beans, Garlic Butter Rolls… for dessert ~Key Lime Pie/Cream Puff Cupcakes!
The food was delicious! Carrie, was so thoughtful, she made us each a cupcake to sample for our wedding! (she is doing our wedding cake/cupcakes) This won’t be the last time these cupcake make an appearance, they were DELECTABLE!
NEXT up….PHOTO scavenger hunt! As I mentioned before, Chase (and I) LOVES a good adventure, so I figured a photo scavenger hunt (finding his B-day gifts along the way, would be the perfect plan!) First up, MEGA JENGA…set up on the patio…BEAUTIFUL day to be outside!
1st photo we had to take, was when we got our Jenga tower 24 stories high….as you can see I forgot how cameras operate….we really only had 24 stories…NOT the “42” our fingers are saying! haha…
#2….”take a picture in a park with no swings, holding a sign with the date of your birthday.
#3…”Find a statue and take a picture of yourself doing the same thing…
#4…”the girl proposes to the guy” -had some weird looks during this one!
#5…”Find a garden gnome and take a pic. holding it”
#6…”Can’t believe we all fit”-take a picture with both of you in it…
#7…”fill up your car with $.50 worth of gas and take picture holding receipt.
#8…”Take 3 random pictures with hat and mask….
As you can see we had some fun with this one! haha…. 
#9…”Act out a scene from a movie” Can you guess what movie we are in?….”Extreme Days” when the cast goes to grocery store to stock up on food for road trip:)
#10… Take a picture sharing a drink”…
#11…”Capture your reflection in a surprising way”…this was our attempt….if you look hard you can see us!
Take #2….a mirror, not surprising….but got the job done:)
#12…” find an animal and take its picture” we aren’t in this one because we didn’t feel like being slopped on by a wet dog…but it was quite amusing to see several dogs take a dip in Lake Michigan!
#13…”stand in a tunnel and capture your silhouette”…
#14…”spell the word “LOVE” in a creative way”…
We had a wonderful day! Definitely a Birthday to remember! Filled with laughter, smiles, and memories! A HUGE thanks to Carrie Willink for helping me make this such a special day!
