Look who's 21!

That's right people, I am officially 21! I can easily say that this birthday was the absolute best one I have ever had. Thank you to all of the people who made my day perfect :)

My big 21st fell on a Monday this year which made celebrating a little difficult. Sunday night at midnight my mom and I headed to Pechanga to purchase my 1st drink. 
 I decided on a Lemon Drop to start the night. We had a really good time and even won a little bit of money gambling!
On Monday (my actual birthday), all the neighbors headed to Pechanga to celebrate :)

Wednesday brought on my Long Beach celebration with my lovely fam from my old sorority. We had several stops planned for the day with the first being the CSULB bar on campus, the Nugget. After class I met them up at the Nugget and was greeted with 3 girls wearing matching shirts with my face on them, posters, and of course birthday decorations for me to wear.
Must Salute Absolut!

 We left the Nugget to head to our 2nd stop at Yankee Doodle for dinner. We played shuffle board, watched the World Series game, and had some very yummy food...
 3rd stop was Murphy's Pub to begin our passports. This pub serves 70 different beers from all over the world. 
 Every time you have one from the list you get a stamp in your passport.
4th stop was Legends where we met up with some of my friends from work.

Our 5th and final stop of the night was at Panama Joes to dance the night away :) 
We had SO much fun and like I said, it was the best birthday anyone could have :) I love my family!

Jimmy Buffett 2010

The Via Saltioville gang ventured to the Jimmy Buffett concert last month for my mom's 45th birthday. Three jam packed cars filled with over 20 people, tons of hawaiian decorations, and even more "beverages" made the way to the Verizon Amphitheater for the concert. We had an absolute blast! Attending his concert has become an ongoing tradition amongst the neighbors... one we plan to continue for many years :)

 The birthday girl & her cut out friends. Bobby & Janis weren't able to make it to the concert so we decided to make sure they were there in some form. 
 Happy Birthday Mom!
