{I'm here!}

Hey y'all.

I'm sorrry for the lack of posts. It's that time of year. Getting ready for finals and packing up the apartment. I officially can NOT wait until June 7th. I'll have a great summer with my family to look forward to, and a fun-filled week in Disney world with Treasure and his family. Good lord I hope I can make it until then. 

This evening Kate and I stopped off at The Blind Lemon Cafe here in Cincinnati for a couple of cocktails...

Kate with her Merlot

 Me with my Twisted Tea (I <3 sweet tea vodka)

As I mentioned in my last post, I recently celebrated my 21st birthday.

My roommates Kelsey and Kate concocted QUITE the chocolate birthday cake for me. I was thrilled. I am a complete chocoholic.

 Don't let the picture fool ya. It was scrumptious.

They even allowed me to play Justin Bieber in the background while the cake was in the oven. 

That's love, friends. 

At midnight Kate and I went out for some birthday drinks and met up with a couple of my favorite ladies, Bennett and Caroline. I didn't get any pictures really because I didn't want to carry around my clunky camera but Kate snapped a couple!

On my actual birthday I was greeted with these beauties:

 My mom, step-dad and sister sent these to me along with some dark chocolate. Flowers + Dark Chocolate=my heaven. Such a lovely surprise :)

Then Kate and I made a trip over to the mall to browse around and ate dinner at The Cheesecake Factory with our friend Alexandria :)

I had a second birthday cake (Red Velvet Cheesecake. Amen.)

And Kate and I ended the night in the best way I could ever imagine: watching The Real Housewives of Orange County with wine and M&M's. It was such a great weekend and I'm so thankful to have such thoughtful friends, and especially Kate for navigating the whole weekend. It's great to have friends that go the extra mile to make you feel special, and I'm really lucky to have that in her.

By the way, if you are wondering what Treasure got me, I assure you I'll fill you in as soon as his gift arrives, the shipping has taken a wee bit longer than expected. Hopefully this week :).

Hope you're all having a great holiday weekend. I'm probably going to spend tomorrow going for a run, packing up my room, getting some school work done and being lazy. How about y'all?
