My Friends are GREAT Liars...

Tuesday was my 21st birthday.

I spent the morning on the couch watching Cougar Town, then I went and finally saw Les Miserables with my friend Imogen. I then got the lounge set up for a old school sleepover extravaganza. 

Little did I know my friends had been lying to me for weeks and had a bit of a surprise in store....

So some background info to this story. My best friend Alanna has spent the last 12 months living in Calcutta, India. 12 whole months. Obviously I missed her like crazy. Now she had told me her flight home was on the 6th of Feb, the day after my birthday. I had accepted this, she was coming to my party so I wasn't too bummed.

HOWEVER

I hear Rachel and Imogen (who remember I had been hanging out with all afternoon) arrive at my house, and all of a sudden I'm told to stay away from the windows, apparently they had a big present and I wasn't allowed to see it yet. So then obliviously I wander downstairs to find this at my door...

BEST BIRTHDAY SURPRISE EVER!

Obviously, what with my squealing and crying reaction, I had no clue this was about to happen, so I have come to the conclusion my friends are extremely good liars. It really was the best gift!

Ignore my tired face, I got about 3 hours sleep that night!

Now to catch up on some sleep, plan for my party on Saturday, and spend some time with my friends! 21 is going to be a great year!

21 Years Young...

That's right kids, today (or tomorrow depending where you are) is my 21st Birthday!

It's kind of bizarre saying I am 21 now, I still can't really wrap my head around the whole in my twenties thing. Although in my friend circle I am one of the babies of the bunch, so I guess I should be used to 21 by now.

This last year has been non-stop 21st celebrations, which has been fantastic, bringing everybody back together after sometimes years apart. As today is a Tuesday,  unfortunately I will be home alone most of the day :( but tonight I am having a sleepover with a few close friends, going old school with sleeping on the floor, eating pizza and watching movies. 

But come Saturday it's party time!

I am having a whole bunch of people who have had an influence on my last 21 years come together and help me celebrate! There will be pink punch, a castle cake, cute candles, and lots of music and laughter. I cannot wait!

I have a feeling 21 is going to be my best year yet!
