#brandonbirthdayextravaganza - The Unveiling!

Sorry, friends (all five of you.) I got busy and sidetracked, but I know you are DYING to find out the gift. The unveiling is here!

As you know, I made sure that this weekend was amazing. However, I couldn't let him even guess (nor could I have this much hype) and hand him a tiny gift (which is kind of what it was.) So I did a few things. 1) I put it in this HUGE box (the box is taller than I am. I'm 5'1") and 2) I kept telling him "it's large. It's HUGE, honey.

My boss, Erin, is super creative (she'll tell you she isn't, but look at the cover of our new Student Org Handbook and you'll know otherwise,) so she decorated the outside. It said HAPPY BIRTHDAY Brandon!!!!! To get it home from work, however, we had to stick it out the window. We drove on Lakeshore that way.
He just WENT for it. Then he found out that the marker had seeped through - super funny! Also, the "box" was actually 6 small boxes taped together.
It's...a hockey stick?
Yep - it's a hockey stick. HOWEVER, it also signifies that we are now Red Wings Season Ticket Holders. Our games:
9/25 vs. Chicago Blackhawks
10/7 vs. Ottawa Senators
10/28 vs. San Jose Sharks
11/11 vs. Edmonton Oilers
12/10 vs. Winnipeg Jets
1/23 vs. St. Louis Blues
2/12 vs. Philadelphia Flyers
2/25 vs. Colorado Avalanche
3/2 vs. Minnesota Wild
3/19 vs. Washington Capitals

We both are super excited - and Brandon spent the rest of the evening being excited. (Hey Detroit friends...get ready to see us a TON over the next year!) We followed up the unveiling with dinner at a cute little Tapas restaurant in Wrigleyville called Twist. If you haven't been there, GO (or come visit and we'll take you.) It's a twist on the typical tapas you will order, but we loved it. My favorites are the Bacon Wrapped Dates, the Tilapia, and the Italian Sausage - but they ALL were DELICIOUS!
