on becoming a real life big girl

i turned 21 this weekend.... 
and it was glorious.


people always tell you on this particular anniversary of birth...
"have fun!!!! but not too much! ;)" while using way too many !!!'s and ;) ;)'s. ... but God bless 'em, they mean well.

they always tell you...
"liquor before beer, you're in the clear, clear before liquor you'll never be sicker."

they always tell you...
"don't do anything I would'nt do!"

they always tell you...
 "put your wallet away. i'm buying you a drink, it's your birthday!"

this weekend... i never got sick once, always mixed well, didn't do anything you wouldn't do, and didn't buy a single bev on my bday & it was deeply fabulous.


although, i was pretty spoiled because i had the pleasure of turning the big two-one in puerto penasco, mexico while celebrating my beloved friend shannon's wedding (which was hands DOWN the most fantastic wedding i have ever attended/been in, btw. such a B L A S T)

at 12:01, i was greeted with hoots, hollers and of course tequila by dear friends. followed by the whole afternoon of sauntering back and forth between the beach, the waves, and the pool. followed then by a glam/laid back rehearsal dinner & cocktail after party. 

it was a rough go, real hard day...

great friends, great sun, great times and great day, full of many"best birthday ever" thoughts.

i think i'm gonna like this big girl business.

p.s... i am finally (part-time) employed! i'm a freelance eater, photographer & writer for a foodie website. perfect summer job? i'm thinkin' cheaaa. PTL.

p.s.s... snippets of mexico adventuring to come :)
