My 21st Birthday.

First of all, I would like to apologize for not having updated this blog for a while. I don't think I have ever been so busy as I have been over these past few weeks. With my birthday, finals week, graduation, and moving all creeping up at once, it's been chaos.

For my 21st birthday weekend, I didn't want to plan TOO much as my birthday fell on a Sunday and the following Monday was the start of finals week (I've always had wonderful timing).  On Friday, I went to dinner at Republic Bar & Kitchen with my closest friends which was a great time. Afterward, a few of us went to our friend's birthday party at his house.

On Saturday, my family came over to our house and we had food and drinks. It was really fun and I ate about 1000 cupcakes so all in all it was a good time.  After everyone left, Kim and I went out to our friend Eddie's birthday party and then out to Town Square for when the clock struck midnight. I was so excited and Kim and I sat in her car with a countdown until it was officially 12 a.m. As soon as it turned December 5th, we both screamed with excitement, only to get out the car to see two guys stood near the car who probably thought we were insane.

Our first stop was Blue Martini. Kim bought me a "Fly Me To The Moon" martini which tastes like Skittles. It didn't really taste like Skittles but it was tasty nonetheless. My friend Amy met us there and we sat there for about an hour before we went to Nu Sanctuary, a relatively new spot in Town Square that seems to be really popular. We saw our friend in line who told us he'd been waiting over an hour so it was pretty sweet when Amy, Kim and I were just pulled straight in by the bouncers (I felt so official haha). There we hung out with some more of our friends and before we knew it, it was 4 am. Kim and I took Amy home then went to get some food. I finally got home around 6:30 and was completely exhausted.

On Sunday, I went out to dinner with my parents and my brother. My parents said they would buy me Tiffany's for my present, and I was so excited. We went to the Tiffany & Co. located in the Bellagio and I picked out a beautiful ring with three little diamonds. Then we went to eat at Maggiano's and had a great table next to the windows so we had a pretty view of The Strip.

All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better birthday. It was so nice to spend time with both my family and my friends, and it's definitely a birthday I will never forget.  Below are some pictures from my birthday weekend.
