27 years and counting

Yesterday was my 27th birthday and this has been one of the best birthdays I've ever had!  I know I say that every year, but I really did have a wonderful birthday and am so thankful for each and every person that helped me celebrate!  I am a very lucky girl and I can't think of a better way to turn 27 then celebrating with the best friends and most wonderful family a girl could ask for!
Since my birthday was on a Monday, I celebrated with everyone I loved over the weekend!  My parents came up Saturday to take me to a birthday lunch and then we watched the UNC basketball game with them before they headed back to the beach!  OF COURSE, UNC had a basketball game...it just wouldn't be my birthday without sharing it with a UNC basketball game!  They lost...GO PACK!   
 That night we had a few couples over for cocktails and appetizers before we went to a late dinner downtown at Oro.  It was delicious and I am so thankful to each of my sweet friends for taking time out of their busy weekends to come celebrate with me!  After dinner we walked down the street and did some dancing before calling it a very successful birthday night!
Appetizers, sort of...
 
love her, one of my oldest friends who has been at every one of my birthdays since middle school
 
 I had an amazing time celebrating and the fun continued throughout the day on my actual birthday.  We had a planning day at work, so unfortunately I didn't get to spend the day with my little Angels.  However, I did get to spend it with the girls I teach with and since it was a planning day that means we got to go out to lunch instead of staying at school!!!  We went to La Cocina where the sweet girls on my team had the wait staff sing to me...it was a first, celebrating a birthday at a Mexican restaurant, being sung to, and having to wear a sombrero WITHOUT the presence of a margarita!  I guess that means I'm growing up!  And one of my sweet friends I work with bought my lunch, which was too kind of her! 
After work I got home to another surprise, a zappos box waiting at my door from my sweet boyfriend (Thank you so much)!!!  I've been wanting some Ugg slippers and it was the perfect way to end a busy Monday!
After a few hours of catching up on my DVR one of my best and closest friends, Robin, took me out for and treated me to champagne and desert!  It was absolutely the perfect ending to a wonderful birthday!  Thank you so much!!!  I am such a lucky girl, and I can't wait to see what this year has in store for me!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!  Cheers to 27, xoxo!
