I'm not big into celebrating my birthday. I hate the spotlight, and I generally stay home on my birthday, avoiding everyone. My preference is to cook a nice meal and stay in. What does Emil do this year? He takes a risk and throws me a surprise party. Side note: I don't like surprises either.
It was a lovely evening, and I enjoyed myself! Our friend, Steve, has an outdoor pizza oven. We've gone to his house in the past for pizza parties, and it's so much fun. So, Emil coordinated the party over at Steve's house. Throw in beer, kombucha, dear friends, and delicious pizza.
Oh! The day before my birthday, Emil and I went to Portland and spent the day. What a wonderful time! We had the best breakfast at Tin Shed.
Here are a few pics from the party and Portland trip:
