this gal is legal.

yesterday was my 21st bday.

with school and everything, it's been a bit crazy.

i did go out on tuesday night and am still recovering from lack of sleep.

i promise to post about my night once i get a chance to breathe! 

briefly: went to sean's for a cookout with some friends.

there i had a wine that i loved! never have i ever liked wine before.

then, we played some games and hung out.

danced, talked....the whole nine yards. 

phil spent a year in south africa and was teaching us some dance.

then we did the dougy and the berney dance. 

both are hilarious.
but first, they sang happy birthday with cupcakes.
i was in the bathroom when they sang and the candles started melting.
i barely got to them in time!
i just love sean's face here.

{dance time!}

at midnight, we went to a bar.

stayed till 2 ish.  then went back for bed.

was in bed by 3 and slept horribly.

i only had a couple drinks and barely felt anything..but apparentally i didn't drink enough water.

woke up with a slight stomach ache but once i got water in me, was totally good to go!

i did skip my 8 am class....someone told me 'there are 16 weeks in a semester to do work.  and only 1 day for your birthday.'

now i'm trying to catch up but it was totally worth it.

it was the best birthday a girl could ask for and i am SO blessed to have friends that take me out on a weeknight to celebrate little ol' me.

it was certainly a birthday i will never forget.

tonight?  i have a date with microsoft word.

helllllo reality!
scratch that....i ended up going to the first home fball game.
it was fun. except for the fact that there were bugs EVERYWHERE.
in my hair, on my clothes, everywhere. 
totally nasty.

{me and jackie!}

ok.  NOW i have a paper to write :].
