My 30th Birthday in Brooklyn 2009

My birthday fell on Monday this year, so the Saturday before Kevin surprised me by affixing a ton of balloons to the ceiling. (Jon and Casey helped!)

Ash surprised me with a chocolate cake- yum!

Then Ash and Michele came over and we headed to dinner at a Thai place down the street. Kevin also had a surprise cake, but his candles focused on me celebrating my final moments of being 29.

Still 29 for another day or so.

But then he thought it would be funny to reverse the candles. Thanks!

Then I met up with a bunch of friends for drinks at Clover Club. That bar makes the best drinks. I especially love their sidecars. Yum.

Afterwards, I lured some people back to our apartment for cake, but actually no one ate any. So now I have two cakes to eat by myself. Haha.

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.

Chrissy and Jason's Wedding 2009

Chrissy and Jason got married! The wedding was in New Jersey where Chrissy and I grew up.

Married! Walking up the aisle after their wedding- so happy!

The morning of their wedding everyone in the wedding party got ready at Chrissy's childhood home. Allison took these beautiful pictures of them there.

They got married in Chrissy's childhood Lutheran church. Growing up, Chrissy and her family went almost every Sunday, and I even had the pleasure of going with them one day when I was in high school. The church was a welcoming community, and Chrissy's family's spiritual home.

The reception was just outside of our hometown. Chrissy and Jason met while getting their MBAs at the London Business School, and they lived in London for a few years after graduation so the tables were all named for locations in London. And the people at the tables themselves came from all around the country and the world. It was one big Euro-Jersey party.

Move to Brooklyn 2008

Kevin scouted out apartments with and near his friend Jon in Brooklyn and thought this was the best one. We signed a lease and here we are!

Our apartment building on Baltic Avenue

Our door at the end of the hallway.

The apartment is L-shaped. You come in through the kitchen and then there's a long hallway to the living room. In the long hallway is the bathroom. Then the living room goes to the right-hand side. Behind it is the one bedroom. And that's it!

The larger bedroom window goes out to a fire escape with a nice little green Brooklyn view. Jon visited and Kevin and Jon had beers on the fire escape.
