St. Patrick's Day!

St. Patrick's Day this year doubled as a celebration for my friend Kasi's 21st

So we had a blast going around Athens, decked out in green attire.

and I loved being able to spend time with the girls I hardly get to see!

Some people get REEEEALLY in to the festivities. We saw multiple leprechauns and Sam got her picture with these two hotties ;)

How did YOU Spend St. Patrick's Day?

Let the Fun Begin!

I am FINALLY finished with my semester!

not looking forward to getting the grades back...

BUT no more Physics, EVER.

That is a reason to celebrate if I've ever heard one ;)

and I'm so happy I actually should have time to blog now. I have really been crunched with time and let it go... so sad. 

But a quick recap on my lovely weekend. :) 

My dear friend Sam turned 21 this weekend and we dinner and a party for her at my apartment over the weekend. 

us before dinner:

Emily's sis Amanda, Sam, Elise, Me, and Emily

and more friends joined us at dinner and my apartment afterwards for a few adult bevs ;)

we love our birthday girl!

sadly I had to cut out early and go to campus to study... (trying to be responsible)

but it was so much fun to hang out with all of the girls from High School! We never see each other with our crazy schedules and going to different schools. 

hope you all have been doing just wonderful! can't wait to catch up on your blogs over my CHRISTMAS break!!! (woohooo!)

21st Birthday Bash.

Saturday night we had the birthday bash!

Everyone came over to my apartment for cake and to mingle.. before heading to downtown Athens to dance the night away.

 

 It took forever to get those candles lit. I think next time we'll just do numbers. haha!

And of course.. you have to love an awkward self-timer group pic! ;)

  After downtown a lot of us headed over to Caleb's to hang out for a while since he lives down the street from me! 

and more self-timer pictures were taken... as in probably a good 100. Definitely some good laughs!

It was a successful night. If I do say so myself. :)

Great way to wrap up the birthday week!

I would really love to know how many calories we burned dancing ;) 

Peace and Blessins sweet friends!

and booooogy on!

WILW

I'm linking up today with Jamie for WILW!

Today I'm loving...

[one.]

That all of these sweet people helped me celebrate my birthday this past weekend! Tomorrow I'll have a post dedicated to our festivities! We had so much fun :)

  [two.]

Last night I purchased tickets to another Concert next week!!! :) I'm going to see Green River Ordinance, (LOVE their music), and Boyce Avenue. I can't wait! I'm really into concerting lately.. it's my new hobby I believe. All my spare change is going to these concerts.. I may be living off ramen soon.

[three.]

I'm actually doing decent in Calc II. It's a miracle friends. I aced my quiz this week.. and I've been rocking the homework. #holla

[four.]

My new RED cowboy boots that I got for my biiiiirthday. And I'm not lying when I say I'm loving them; I've been wearing them around my apartment with my nike shorts and t-shirts. I can't wait to rock them at a GA game soon!! :)

pardon my messy bathroom in the background

What are YOU loving today?! Go link up and share it with us!!!

  

DMV

One thing I've been looking forward to about turning 21 has been getting rid of this Driver's License Picture:

 yikes! That's scary.  

I can't believe I'm even posting it. 

I never upgraded my license when I turned 18, because I'm too cheap. So I just held off until 21.. 20 bucks later, I have this beauty:

Can I just say, I HATE taking pictures for ID cards. I hate that you only get one shot.. and you don't even get to make sure it's halfway decent before they send you away with the new card. 

BUT this is definitely an improvement over my 16 yr old one. Wooo!

My UGA ID card is another story.. so embarrassing. I want to lose it and get it replaced, but I'm too cheap to pay for a new one. 

I think part of my problem is that my parents are photographers, so I'm used to being able to pick my picture. AND I know what a bad picture of me looks like. And friends, the UGA ID card is a BAAAAAD Picture. If I get the guts I'll post it so you can laugh.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

21st Birthday

Thank you all SO much for my sweet birthday wishes!

I had a wonderful birthday :)

On my actual birthday my parents came and took me to lunch at the Last Resort in Athens.. it's one of my favorite places to go. (If you are ever in the area make sure you eat there!)

I had pan seared ravioli with an artichoke spinach sauce and feta cheese. Heaven!

When we got back from lunch I had a surprise on the back porch from Caleb and the boys down the road.. they left me a 12 pack of budlight. haha! My first alcoholic gift. ;)

Monday nights I have small group, so before it started a few of us went to dinner for my birthday. :)

we had fun ;)

and after small group Jasmine and I celebrated with some birthday cake and one of the budlights that Caleb had left. 

Now I can't wait until Saturday when all of my friends get to come celebrate with me! :) 

Time Just Flies By!

Today is my 21st birthday.

(yikes!)

I mean really.. where has the time gone?!

It's a bittersweet birthday, because of course it's exciting to be of legal drinking age, but at the same time it's the last exciting birthday there is!

I mean.. the rest are the dreaded "hitting 30" or "over the hill." (not to be a debbie downer...)

 

 

 

But I'm incredibly excited to be the big 2-1. (It's Nicole's birthday too.. so make sure you wish her a Happy Birthday!!) It stinks to have this particular birthday on a Monday.. because I'll have to be in my professor's office deciphering Calculus II this afternoon. (what a DRAAAG! I think I deserve an A for that.) BUT, My sweet Mama and Daddy are coming to take me out for lunch today after my classes. :)

Wow. boring birthday post.

I had every intention of posting my one-year old self smashing chocolate cake in my face... but those pictures are at home.

Sad day.

So here's an embarrassing baby picture instead... 

 

Sushi & A Birthday!

The other day I mentioned that Saturday night we celebrated Emily's 21st.. 

but I didn't share with you all the deets of the night. 

Friends, it was A. NIGHT.

Kris, Jess, Ally, Me, BIRTHDAY GIRL, & Greg

  This was our group of friends (minus Sam). 

See.. the four of us on the left were at the restaurant waiting at 8 to surprise Emily. Well.. they didn't show up for over an hour. and When they finally did.. a bunch of random people filed in behind them! We had rented out a room in this Japanese Sushi place.. and it has a stage for you to do Karaoke. 

Well all these rand-o people turned HER party into THEIR party. And we sat with smiles plastered on our faces trying to figure out what to do. Y'all, it was a TRIP!

[our reaction to the awkwardness...]

I sipped my little coca-cola.. ordered me some sushi.. and laughed my tail off at the predicament we were in.

I mean.. even a Bachelorette Party came by. It was wild!

But we had a good time.. and Emily definitely won't forget that birthday! ;)

Me and Ally before we headed out:

 Now, the countdown is ON until my birthday!! 

5 Days!!! ;)
