Get to know me: Day 18

Your favorite birthday, in great detail.


I love my birthday. I don't know why, but every year I anticipate my birthday and talk about it for at least a month beforehand. So it's hard to decide on a favorite birthday, but my 21st birthday was definitely one to remember.


When I was turning 21, I told my mom that I wanted to go out with my best friend and my 3 aunts (and my mom too, of course!) My mom is the oldest of 4 girls, and my sister and I were constantly spoiled, being the only girl cousins. I couldn't think of anyone else I'd rather spend my birthday with than them.
I was taken completely by surprise when a limo arrived to pick us up at my house and take us into Boston! 
We went bar hopping, and my aunts taught me the rules of drinking. I learned to have a glass of water in between every drink. I learned which martinis were the best, and which beers to order. I tried hard alcohol and many, many mixed drinks and had the time of my life. Unfortunately for Kristin, she couldn't drink, being 2 months younger than me (don't worry, we had our own fun on her birthday!)
At every stop I was given a balloon (there were 4 total, one for each sister) and I made a wish and let go. Each wish was supposed to be from my aunts.


I am not sure I realized it at the time, but I'm lucky to have such wonderful family.
