Thank you to all that helped to celebrate my 23rd Birthday, through cards, wishes, and sharing a drink! On Saturday, I hosted a brunch with all the closest friends that I have here. The biggest gift that I could have was having everyone together for a good time for brunch at Memphis Cafe. It was a fantastic afternoon!!!
flowers from work!

Upon arriving at the restaurant, our table was split into two sections. That was definitely now okay with everyone, so after much table adjusting, and causing a ruckus with the staff we finally rearranged the tables how we wanted. I was a little embarrased, but hey, it's my birthday and I can set it up how I want right?!
Amber & Matt (the best couple in the world--can't wait for Junebug to appear :-p)
Don and Christine just can't seem to make up their minds about what to order

Michelle and I

trying to figure out what drink I should get...


Bonnie and Michelle

Christine and Nancy (the two girls that I've known the longest in my life)

I honestly thought that I would skate by this year without having a crowd sing Happy Birthday to me. But to my COMPLETE SURPRISE Nancy got me a birthday cake and the entire patio sang to me! Needless to say, I was definitly blushing hence my expressions and redness....
it took 3 puffs to get all those candles out! good thing we were outside because it got quite smokey...
licking the candles is the best part! (I did share, but most of them I kept to myself...)




these are the bouquets that I got that morning at Memphis

Thank you everyone that sent me a card, flowers, or even just thought of my for my birthday!
