emily turned 30! like a month ago...

so emily turned 30 about a month ago. give or take a week. take a week. it was like a month and four days ago. she looked stunning...




on her actual birthday there was a gathering at piece pizza to celebrate her birth and goat cheese-spinach pizza. the pizza actually stole the show at one point in the evening, it was beautiful. the company was also nice. after we went to the bar for drinks.

i think overall emily had a nice birthday. she got to hang out with friends...


*erin and emily


*emily and tracy


*emily and michael

she got to play pool...



she got to look like a mannequin...



i mentioned the pizza right?...



and i got to hang out with her too!

so i think we both had a nice evening...



at midnight her birthday was over.

but then on saturday it reappeared. emily and i got tickets to medieval times in schaumburg il. to celebrate her birth again, and pretty much technology overall.

http://www.medievaltimes.com/ - go there!!!

apparently the only way to get to medieval times is by tour bus. take route 90 until you see the giant steel satellite tower then a left...



are county was the shit. by far the coolest county of them all. for we were seated in the...



our colors were yellow and red...



our crowns were yellow and red as well to show our perelada pride...



our knight was quite stunning...



our serving boy was julio...



julio did not enjoy the terminology "serving boy" and gave me a modern day smack across ye old face.

as a side note our knight wasn't to much into winning. he was way more into dying. although he was breathtaking he was a little knight bitch too. here's him about to eat it...



i've put together a video montage of the experience...

once the festivities were over we walked around the grounds and got to know the locals. it was really nice to meet people from that time period. it turns out they are just like us. sure, there was a couple of cultural differences but no two snow flakes are alike.

this medieval woman was a student by day at the local university and worked as a castle director part time in the evenings. i believe her name was sarah or something medieval like that...



emily was totally getting hit on by kyle, the arrogant, confident and strong castle security guard. all qualities i do not possess. well not totally, i enrolled in castle training the next day. here's that smug fuck...



later i met up with the ye olde gift shoppe attendant and concocted a plan to teach kyle a lesson...



we will see who will get the lady in the end...


*it will be me.

the night was a blast. i was super drunk off of medieval miller lite...



and we were both going to the bathroom in public. but at designated areas...



i hope emily had fun and is 30 years of age.
