21 and Legal!!

Family Night Out

Wow, it's hard to believe I have finally reached the pinnacle of my birthday fabulousness. It has officially come and gone. Today's weather was most unfortunate: rainy and desolate. Clearly the city of Columbia is mourning the coming and going of my birthday.

It was wonderful having my family and friends come celebrate with me. Conveniently ADPi planned Parent's Weekend on my birthday weekend. This was the best opportunity for my family to come up. The weekend began with everyone enjoying a wonderful dinner at M Vista in the Vista, one of my favorite sushi restaurants. Who could say no to yummy sushi and delicious Apple-tini's? No one. Of course, Edward and I indulged in the finer things in life, such as cheap beer and a fraternity party.

The next day began with the annual trip to Groucho's. So yummy!! Then mom and I went to Party City to obtain my birthday goodies for the night, such as "happy birthday" beads and of course, my tiara. Then we made a trip to the ever popular Cupcake off of Gervais Street. The family now finally realizes why I enjoy taking trips there frequently. Following our traditional nap, we all got dressed and went to an amazing new restaurant called Pearlz, which is on Gervais Street. It is so amazing, and the seafood is to die for!!

Decided to Carry a Stool around with Me because
My Feet Hurt

Following dinner, we went to Parent's Cocktail and danced the night away until 11pm when we departed from the Zone in Williams Bryce Stadium and headed to 5 Points to ring in my birthday at midnight. Highlights of the evening include me dancing on stage alone, singing to myself into a microphone, making my own drink at Sonic, and learning how to break dance in a cocktail dress.

And finally, we finished the weekend with a wonderful brunch at IHOP, you know we gotta keep it classy. It was the perfect ending to a perfect weekend. My family is the best ever!! And I am so lucky to have them. Perhaps the best gift was finally getting my car back after 2 months of not having it.

Now onto Dance Marathon. The date is drawing nearer and nearer. I am so excited, and when February 25th-26th arrives, I will probably cry from happiness. It is an amazing event, and I cannot wait for day of to get here. That's all for now folks.
