Happy 91st Birthday to Me!

Today I had a birthday party for my 19th birthday! My official DOB is on Friday but I can't wait! Tonight just seemed to work better for people than on my real birthday, and I enjoy celebrating the real day with my little family, it's cozier and fun! We had such a fun day celebrating and chose a great local restaurant that seems to be extremely popular for birthdays. I owe a huge thank you to my parents since this dinner was a birthday present from them. I had such a great time and couldn't be more thankful for a great way to wrap up my Christmas break!!

I really ended up making my outfit decision at the last minute--and by last minute I mean I bought the shoes this morning, yikes! I got the dress yesterday also from Black Market White House (or whichever comes first in that title) for 50% off! Yes!! And the shoes I got are very NOT me, but they were super fun for a party and surprisingly comfy. Here's what I wore:

We all had a fabulous night catching up and eating wonderful Thai food. It was a great dinner before we all go back to school. I head back on Sunday from the North Pole, although I hear its just as cold in SC...oh no! I swear it was 75 degrees the day that I left and I got funny looks going through the airport in my wintery clothes. I'm thinking about hosting some kind of giveaway (maybe a set of my painted letters since they got such great reviews from everyone...?) for some event soon, I've never hosted a giveaway and I think it's just about time for me to do so! Just a thought for now...maybe a Valentine's giveaway? Or just a wintery-slump giveaway? Who knows, more details to come obviously.

Back to my birthday though. You're all probably wondering why my title is happy 91st, right? Well friends, it is not a typo. When the waiter brought out my cake (a fabbbbb 7 layer caramel cake, which coincidentally is very southern) they waitstaff put the number on wrong. The numbers were not only in reverse, but the 1 was also facing the wrong direction! My friend Caroline was snapping photos of that moment because I was almost crying I was laughing so hard, I'll have to post a few once she sends them to me, or post a link to her blog if she posts them. She got a fancy new camera for Christmas and had a great time being our photog!

I'll be sure to post soon with birthday greetings!!
