Day 1 - Birthday Alextravaganza

As I was doing a little work this morning Matt came over to the table and handed me an envelope saying "this came in the mail for you." On the envelope it said "from your husband." I opened it up to find a sheet up paper typed up with "Saturday - Day 1 Birthday Alextravaganza. The itinerary read:

• Sleep in
• Coffee from the Cafe du Lunde
• Shopping in the West Village (just the two of us)
• Lunch at Grimaldi's (the two of us)
• Dinner at Casa de lunde
• Galaxy Drive in Movie Theater (with my choice of movies)

Needless to say I hopped in the shower and was ready to go. Matt insisted on starting at Ann Taylor Loft where I immediately found the shirt of my dreams at the first table. As I was admiring it and thinking "I just had to have it" a male voice says "Isn't that soo cute!". I turn around to see Steph and Ryan Wannemacher. They had been planning

it for weeks! Instead of shopping Matt made pedicure appointments for THE FOUR of us, followed by lunch at Grimaldis. The best part of the day was the company - and getting to spend time

with Steph and Ryan. I think we will make chocolate covered strawberries and bring vino to the drive in movie.
