All the excitement.... Turning 25

I'm officially "old"

Well this year I was excited to celebrate as i blogged before... So i thought I would recap my celebrations. Of course NOTHING went according to plan but thats ok.

So it started in Dallas as I said before and Toneisha surprised me with a really sweet and thoughtful gift. Since I love to travel she bought me a passport holder and luggage tag. I love it. she knows me too well!

We had a game night, drinks, cake and lots of other things over the course of the weekend.... I was so sad to come home.

During the week my mom mailed me my gifts. She sent me some clothes from Victoria Secret that I wanted. My personal fave.... the convertible dress. Omg its hot and its fits like it was made for me. They ways to wear it are ENDLESS. She got me another adorable sundress, a tank and a cardigan. Most of which are in pink... my fave. The convertible dress is in a purple color. Sooo pretty!

So on the 8th I had a tiny brunch with a few girlfriends. This month was hard to coordinate because EVERYONE has either a graduation/wedding/race/something going on mother' day weekend or the weekend after.....

We ate at the Hobbitt Cafe on the patio and it was such a lovely day. The food there was so good and the mimosas amazing..... My dear friends Kat, Emily Daniels, Emily Gerger, and Alicia were able to join me and they gave me really sweet gifts.

When lunch was over i went home and met up with Rebekka at her pool with her roommate Sarah and Sarah's boyfriend. Some neighbors were out there with their dog and we had a hell of a time. Shanna and her boyfriend showed up and we had a fun time by the pool. Since Shanna, Bekka and I all have birthdays within a week of each other we got a little photo.

Bekka and i spent the rest of the night watching the movie the Kite Runner ( which was excellent) and then Betty White on SNL ( best bday gift ever)

The next day on my actual birthday i did absolutely NOTHING. my dad came over in the morning and brought me a card and then he went with my step family and did the whole mother's day thing. i really missed my mom and last mother's day was the last time I saw my grandma before she died so i just didnt want to remind myself of that so i opted out. I stayed in my pjs all day and relaxed. It was quite nice. I think the dog enjoyed it. I was a little ticked off that he didnt do anything for me for mother's day.... when will dogs learn? haha jk

Friday the 14th my heterosexual life partner hahahah my best friend Michelle came in town to celebrate for the weekend. That night we met up with my oldest guy friend Ryan and his amazing wife Lea and one of my favorite places... Amazon Grill. We drank Mojitos and Michelle gave me my gifts. She found my favorite pair of earrings in another color, a wristlet, some cute notecards and.... Single girl's madlibs. We had a blast and came up with some funny and sometimes rather inappropriate madlibs lines that has the 4 of us several new inside jokes.

The next morning Michelle and I woke up and joined my friend Shanna, Bekka and Jenny for Brunch at the Hobbitt cafe again. It was raining the entire time but we were able to sit on the patio under the cover. We ate yummy food once again and enjoyed the girl talk.

That night we had dinner at the W Grill ( my review will come later in the month) and then met up once again with Bekka and Shanna at Rebel's on Washington to celebrate their birthday's as well. We stayed awhile and then left once my buddy Mike showed up.

US BIRTHDAY PEOPLE

I had told everyone to meet at Open city and we got a text from my old boss and friend Mike that he was headed that way so we did the same, only to find that Open city well... isnt open. We went next door to the Tipsy Clover and hung out for quite awhile. Mike and his gf showed up and James made it. We got over to shot bar shortly before they closed and unfortunately didnt get to spin the wheel, but we ran into some other people and when the bar closed we headed to katz deli for some late night eats. lol i saw a guy when i came out of the restroom i hadnt seen since highschool. we were cool then but you never know if someone remembers you, so i just kept walking and giggled.

Since it was graduation weekend a majority of my friends couldnt make it which i understood but needless to say i had a BLAST!
