Hello friends, I hope you all had a great weekend!

My fiance’s birthday was a couple weeks ago and mine is coming up in a week, so our super awesome friends decided to surprise us with a joint present. We had no idea what was in store. All we knew is that we had to show up at their place by 6:00pm, and I shouldn’t wear a skirt. So we showed up on time and headed off to our super top secret birthday surprise. A few short minutes later (after driving past the road where Kristin Wiig epically drives back and forth in Bridesmaids was filmed) we arrived at Van Nuys airport. No sooner than 10 minutes later we were standing in front of a helicopter getting instructions on how to get in. What?! Amazing!

Only four people can fit in these awesome little things, two drivers and two passengers, so we took one and our friends hopped in the other (the one you see above!)

So excited!
