Surprise, surprise!

I almost never celebrate my birthday. Well at least I never really used to. Maybe dinner with some friends, I always spend time with the family, but usually that’s it. I’ve been with Meghan for over 4 years now and ever since we started dating she’s managed to come up with some of the best surprises for my birthday.

For my 25th birthday this year I figured she was up to something but she gave me strict instructions to go right home after work. Later that evening she came over and told me that we were going to have dinner at one of our regular places Mykonos, but that they would be serving us something special, something new on the menu. A romantic evening, just the two of us. That was hardly the case…

When we arrived I was greeted by at least 30 of my closest friends and family. Actually it was quite the mash of worlds that I belong to. My family was there, my block family was there, and my hustle family was there. It was really something special.

Honorable mention goes out to Avi and his awesome Skateboard G Piñata!

But that wasn’t the kicker… Meghan took the entire day off to bake me the ULTIMATE cake. A sweet analog version of the camera that I’ve been shooting with for the past 2 years… the Nikon D80.

I’m not going to lie, this could possibly be the best cake of all time.
