Jeff M. Visits 2009

Kevin's good friend from college Jeff came to visit all the way from California and stayed with us while he was here.  I'd never met him before. Kevin and Jon showed Jeff around our neighborhood, and later Jeff's high school friends came out to meet up with us. We started at the Whiskey bar right around the corner from our apartment.

Then we headed to Kevin's favorite bar, Brooklyn Inn, where Jeff's other friends met us.

Finally, ended the evening at Boat Bar. Kevin and Jeff have a fun little game where they surprise punch each other every several years. Here's Jeff adopting a threatening pose.

But then Kevin got him by surprise. I got a picture of the magic moment.

But the joke is on me I guess. Jeff stole one of our (wedding gift) pillowcases when he left. Hm.

Kevin's 29th Birthday 2009

We had a fun weekend celebrating Kevin's birthday. Brady was visiting for the weekend from Philly so Saturday we showed him around our part of Brooklyn and had a delicious lunch at F. Martinella Deli.

Sunday was Kevin's real birthday, so we went for a walk around Park Slope and Prospect Park. I also made him Cuban ropa vieja for dinner. A favorite!

Valentine's Day 2009

Kevin's birthday is the day after Valentine's Day so this year we combined it more aggressively and celebrated his birthday on the day of Valentine's with his friends Brady and James. The four of us had dinner at a Peruvian restaurant in our Cobble Hill neighborhood and then had drinks at Kevin's favorite Brooklyn bar. The four of us kept it sexy.

We got our invitations back today! I'm pretty happy with them, though the print didn't exactly come out navy. The little bow was inspired by Megan T.'s lovely wedding invitation.
