As I get older, people often tell me that birthdays get less exciting. It's true--turning 24 isn't quite as thrilling as 21. But despite my reluctance to grow older, I still love my birthday!
Everyone is entitled to one day a year that is all about them. One Day. So, why not live it up?!
This year, I rang in my 24th year in ATL with my favorite people. Did I mention it was Friday the 13th? AND a full moon!
The first celebration started Tuesday evening--dinner and treats with my two sweeties, Steph & Jules.
Wednesday night, Taylor and I kept the excitement going with dinner at my favorite restaurant, El Taco.
Thursday was my work celebration, and I was really feeling the love! What amazing coworkers I have!
Late Thursday, the Taylors arrived to help me celebrate!
Friday, we all had an amazing tapas lunch at Basil's, and I, of course, toasted myself with a glass (or a couple glasses) of Prosecco.
Next, it was time to watch the Braves stomp the Angels at Turner Field. Just a side note, the Braves have never lost while I was present. I think I'm somewhere around 8-and-0. And that's saying something!
Although my birthday had passed, the celebrations continued Saturday at the Brookhaven Beer Festival. It was hotter than you know what, but we quickly forgot about the heat and focused on all the delicious brews!
We finished up the day with tacos & ritas at Verde.
Sundays are typically reserved for recovery, but there was no time for that. What a coincidence that my favorite play (turned movie) of all time, Steel Magnolias, was playing at Onstage Atlanta in Decatur! It's no secret that I live by the story line from this incredible Southern drama, released the year before I was even born. And even though I'd seen it twice before, the play was amazing!
Laughter through tears always was my favorite emotion!
And so my week-long birthday celebration was over. I was sad to see my friends and family go, but I'm excited to see what lies ahead for my 24th year.
Thanks for reading, y'all!
