wild weekend
It all started on Friday with my birthday. Jason started the morning off with scrambled eggs and toast for my birthday breakfast. A perfect start to a great day. Everyone at work was so nice. I didn't think any one would know it was my birthday but it turns out everyone knew. I received cards and birthday wishes from everyone, a birthday surprise from Holly when I came back from lunch and red velvet cake ... a great end to the work week.
After work Jason and I enjoyed a romantic dinner at Tavern on The Green (thank you Scott & Alys)that included the BEST pumpkin cheesecake I have ever had. From Tavern on The Green we went to The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine for a creepy Halloween Extravaganza & Procession of the Ghouls.
This cathedral was amazing, someone said it's the largest cathedral in the US so you can just imagine how large it is. When we walked in the lights were dimmed and there was fog everywhere making it extra creepy. Unfortunately my camera battery died so I can't show you how amazing it was but I can say that this was one of the coolest things I have ever done for Halloween.
It started out with a silent black and white film that we watched while listening to the sounds of the ancient organ playing in the background. After the film ended the room was instantly filled with fog and the procession of the ghouls began. Out from the fog came several ghouls dressed to the max. There costumes were amazing and their masks were so detailed. We arrived early enough to snag an isle seat so we were able to see each ghoul close-up.
After the procession we turned around to see the end of the parade and sitting right behind us was Ryan Gosling and Eli Roth. Of course Jason was the one who spotted them and only Jason would know who Eli Roth is (Director of Horror films) but everyone recognized Ryan Gosling. He was so nice and friendly to everyone but once again my camera battery was dead so my one chance to get a picture of Jason with a celebrity was lost.
As part of my birthday present from Jason I received a full body massage that he had scheduled for Saturday morning and it was amazing. After my massage it was time to prepare for the long awaited Halloween party. After all of our planning and stewing over costumes it was finally time to show everyone what we were made of.
After turning the Mercer party room into a frightful sight (thanks to Jill, Bryan and BreAnna) it was finally time for the fun to begin. Everyone looked amazing!! It was so fun to see how creative everyone is, I loved everyones costumes.
The best of the night was definitely BreAnna.
And of course everyones favorite SNL parody...
Here's a video that BreAnna made of everyones costumes, Enjoy!
I had a wonderful weekend and even better birthday. Thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes its so nice to be remembered on your birthday and I truly felt loved on my special day.
