21st

I turned twenty-one on May 6th. I spent the day taking a break from school and lazing about, which was lovely (I can hear a bunch of people groaning in protest for the lack of rampant drinking!). However, I wanted to have a sort of fancy party with my best friends and family, so I moved the party date to the middle of the month. After a lot of planning, we pulled it off! It went perfectly... :) Thanks so much for everyone's help and company.

I took some random prep photos! Logan took all the people pictures, so it looks as though no one came to my party... they totally did... real live people, too!

Homemade croutons for the caesar salad...

Cook's Illustrated Lemon Tart with Blueberries

New Chaco's! So excited!! 

The menu consisted of short ribs, roasted rosemary and garlic potatoes, sautéed green beans and a Caesar salad, for those of you who were curious!

My camera couldn't cope with the darkness from here on out. It was late when we sat down to eat and the candles and porch lights looked amazing. The night was so lovely! Someday Logan will post the rest of the pictures, but as for now... check out my presentssss:

Epic tiger painting from Logan. Adorable little charms from Japan from Griffin. And a fantastic travel bag from Sara for my trip.

This is my trip basket. Full of trip things. Gahhhhhh!! It's getting closer and closer to departure day... 

I'll try to update again soon.
