Who would have thought being 24 would be so much fun! Boy, I am exhausted but it is so worth it. I just had the most fantastic weekend. My wonderful sorority sister and best friend drove in from Chicago to celebrate my birthday and spend time with me. I've only seen Emily once since we graduated nearly two years ago and that visit was a short half hour. So being able to spend some time with her was amazing. Emily drove down to see me on Friday and finally got to meet Drew and little Lexi (ps. she's already 25lbs!!).
The next day, Emily, Drew, my two brothers and I met for breakfast down by Drew's house before heading to the Reds game. As luck would have it, the Reds were playing the Cubs.
Between the Cubs winning and Emily trying her first Skyline cheese coney, she left the stadium a happy girl.
It really was the perfect day for a baseball game. Each one of us left with a crazy farmers tan!
The fun didn't stop there. After taking a short nap, the four of us (minus my brother Kevin) headed to dinner on the river.
We were starving. Can you tell Drew and I were pretty excited to get our dinner!
Not only was the food fantastic, but so was the view. A handful of the Cubs players sat diagonally from us! Emily was in heaven!! She left the restaurant with the first baseman's autograph thanks to Drew embarrassing her! The laughter and fun continued through the night.
Sunday morning she said goodbye and headed back to Chicago. My family gathered to celebrate birthday's. My 24th birthday was Monday and Kevin's 21st is today!! We had lunch at Uno's. I really enjoy going there once in awhile because I can order a gluten-free pizza. Every so often it's nice to have the option of
not ordering a salad. We came back home for presents and dessert. My mom made a mouth-watering trifle for the two of us.
The celebrations continued on Monday (my actual birthday). Drew and I went out golfing. Now, the first hole was pretty rough. I definitely had some problems there, but after we got through that first one, I started to play better. I didn't expect a lot from myself. It was only my first time playing this year and 3rd time playing ever! But, I will never get better unless I practice. My fabulous four days wrapped up with a fun birthday dinner at a Mexican restaurant and a sand volleyball game. So far, 24 feels good.
