Happy Birthday to Me...(part 2)

On Saturday I had SATs which wasn't so difficult but still not the best way to spend a Saturday. Luckily, Sunday was amazing.

I woke up at around 10:30 (still early for me haha), got ready, and met Dylan downtown for lunch. We had lunch at the Burger Bar which is on the 6th floor of Macy's overseeing Union Square. Speaking of which, I don't think we have ever gone to a restaurant more than once, besides Scala's haha. The food was good, we shared a giant Nutella Milksake, I got fish'n'chips, and Dylan got a classic burger with swiss but the service was SLOW.

Dylan's burger and we still wonder who's fries those were

After we were full and happy, we wandered Macy's a bit, looked a dresses, and then we headed to Union Square for our classic picture there. Afterwards we went to forever21 so I could get Joel a cardigan haha.

After our fun times downtown, we headed back to Dylan's house to relax and get ready for dinner with 2osomething of my friends haha.

comfy time! I love his PJs haha
Bobby is so cute!
walking to dinner (it was like 5 blocks away)

Dinner at Isa was amazing. I had a great time with all my friends and the food was delicious. I think the grand total came out to be about $700 for the 20some of us which isn't too bad. There were fun convos, delicious dishes, and just plain good company. Also Ellen brought us a giant brownie cake (: Oh and Sam asked me if he could ask Astra to boat at my birthday and of course I said yes.

I won't go too much into detail about what I got this year so I just made a quick collage of everything and while I was at it, I couldn't help but make a college of all the group pictures of my high school birthdays. Time seems to fly and I can't believe this was the last one. I'll miss all my friends and the love they give me but hopefully my next birthday will be even more amazing. Thankyou to everyone for the love/wishes you've given me this year. But...on to the big one eight!
thankyou everyone
nostalgia (: <3
