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:

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!
#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!
This is so cute! I love it! :)
