A Day Dedicated to Mr. Riley Chu!

booger. disappointed couldn't get up for church,
so listened to this online sermon

my cam sucks

maybe this is better
liked this sermon A LOT
i think it is pretty funny how it can really apply to your current
life at the moment.
God's little ways of speaking to us i suppose.

some backyard football, literally.

 miss this.
miss the competition... sighh.. will i ever play IMs again?! :/

just sitting here and talking for awhile
hilarious starcraft convo with ethan...
can't believe i remember so much from it. good times.

So, just in case you didn't get from yesterday's post or from today's title... it's Riley's 22nd Birthday!!!

Ahem.. so I guess it's the first time I celebrated a birthday with a signif other, and to me, it does feel a little different. And i wanted to make it the best that I could. I felt a little pressure, but not too much. Bleh, anyways... I drove to this place without telling him where we were going and for him.. it's def a first since he is usually the one driving and planning. It's always a diff feeling being on the opposite side of things. But always exciting too i feel.

So here comes the pics of our night out. Please don't feel obligated to scroll down. I don't mind if you close the window here. haha. I felt like I already said to much above to the public world. Gross. K. K... here goes. 

great suggestion from breane. was going to go japanese.
didn't realize the reflection, cool stuff!

such a nice day!

you will see the opposite side of these pics farther down

sunset :)

the gourmet menu

looks simple...
but sour dough and comes out steaming hot!

after the sun went down it got a little windy
and we went inside

pacific pasta

sheeshh. i really don't like how they make faces so close and zoomed now
his is okay.. mine is scary

walked around old sac
but being a sunday... most things were closed but we went into
this saloon with $1 pool.
he won. tehe.

trying to stall around dt waiting for people to gather at our house
i think he could tell
thanks again Chris for helping!

surprise and presents!

from these 2 and mattio

SURPRISEEE!!!

watching olympics and usain bolt

we tried to say to stop watching and to go downstairs for just dance
eventually when he went down.. i failed to warn people and the
water balloon ambush was a mini fail with tiff throwing 1 from the top and it was an awkward standstill!
ahahhaha!!! IT WAS SOOOOO FUNNNYYY THOUGH after tiff and i talked about it!!!
bahahahhaha! so it wasn't really a fail since we got him soaked anyways.
but those were the most painful balloons everywhere, and i think riley
felt all of that. haha.
thanks for filling tying and planning to ambush everyone!!!
i didn't get a pic so thats why its on here
he actually didn't see this last part coming... really.
sooo... SUCCESS!

thanks for eating the ice cream pie! haha. even
if you didn't like it :P

waiting for sunset!

they gave us the corner and supposedly the best seat of the deck!

i now understand why he keeps ranting about crab cakes
it was really good!

that sauce was amazing

sirloin steak? i forgot

moved to indoor seating

but our waitress helpfully recommended we take some pics outside
before it got dark. thanks waitress!

a focused one!

So i usually do shout outs if i blog about someone's birthday, but i suppose the situation is different this time and i don't want to make all of you barf. haha. So i will keep it to myself.

Hope you had a good day and night...

HAPPY 22nd BIRTHDAY RILEYYYYYYY!!!!!
