becoming 21. {and legal}

Thursday, 11-11  was my birthday!
{Next year I will turn 22 on 11-11-11, how cool is that???}

Unfortunately, birthdays just aren't what they used to be, but they are still super fun.

I became legal yesterday, and now I'm 21. I am so old. Okay not really but it feel like it.

I have the best family and friends- they made my day so great!

The night before my birthday I went to bed at 11:00- I was exhausted! Right as the clock struck midnight I got about five different texts from people wishing me happy birthday, and it woke me up. haha but I loved it, it made me feel so loved.

Speaking of feeling loved: This might sound vain but I know you agree with me- I love facebook on my birthday! Its fun to get happy birthday messages from friends and family- (most of which wouldn't know if it was my birthday)  I love getting messages from family, friends, and people I know from all sorts of different places from all sorts of things I have been involved with. So fun :)

On my birthday, I went to lunch two times! :) My amazing, wonderful, exquisite, priceless, etc. parents took me to Rumbies:

And Kevin took me to Firehouse and gave me Brian Regan tickets, how sweet :)

My mom and I share a birthday week, so Caytee and Jon (and Carl) came up for a day and we had fun:

The night of my birthday I had a birthday dinner at Chili's with some of my closest girlfriends. I was so surprised at how many came! I love every single one of these girls SO MUCH. 

{Bri, Vic, AJ, Joni, Michelle, Kenzie, Ashley, Hailee, Kylie, Courtney, Jennika, JaNae, Shelby, Kathryn, Tessa, Kendra, Candice, and Sarah. }

I love my friends- really- don't know what I'd do without them!

These guys went to the bathroom and missed the group picture. (typical)

It was such a fun birthday and I felt so loved!
