21

Today I turned 21. The big TWO-ONE. No, I did not go out drinking for my birthday as the typical 21 year old would to celebrate. Anyhoo, how did I celebrate...

Friday afternoon at work my wonderful family sent me TWO DOZEN Gigi's cupcakes (a new favorite sweet treat) to my job to kick off my birthday celebrations. One dozen was quickly devoured by my fellow co-workers and I. They went quick...

Saturday night I met my friend and future apartment mate, Lauren for dinner at Olive Garden (YUM!) and saw Water for Elephants. We were celebrating both of our birthdays. Hers was this past Monday. We had a great time and the movie was excellent. It's better than the previews make it out to be.

Today, I met my best friend downtown for church and then we shared a lovely meal at the quaint French café, Papillote. We decided that one day after we're both married and our kids have grown, we and our husbands will take a trip to Paris and eat at a real French café.

After we parted ways I spent some time browsing at the mall and ended up with three new dresses -- happy birthday to me!

It was a perfect birthday weekend. I got to spend time with some of my favorite people and received birthday wishes from friends near and far!

Oh, but the celebration is not over...Skydiving on May 14 is yet to come!!!
