Best. Birthday. Ever.

I tuned 25 at the end of July and it was probably the best. birthday. ever. I told Brett that I wanted to take the day off and go on a hot air balloon ride. I thought I was going to have to make all the arrangements, but Brett did it all. He researched all the companies we could've gone with and picked what he thought was best. I have the best boyfriend. =)

So on the day of the balloon ride, we work up at 3 a.m. to drive to Napa. We had to be there by 5:30 a.m. We found out that the wind and fog was preventing us from flying over Napa and I was a little disappointed. We were going to fly over Winters instead. We could've left, but we were already there so I thought we should just go. I'm glad that I didn't leave because it was such a great experience! Sure you can see the same thing from the plane, but there's nothing like being in the open and up in the air, breathing in the crisp, fresh morning air, and shivering on the ground then warmed up by the flame of the balloon. It was a wonderful experience and I can't even describe how happy it made me.

Then on the weekend, we went to SF to party hardy! It was my first time clubbing there so I was just hoping for the best. My friends and I got a hotel room so that we would've have to worry about driving. I'm so thankful that I have such wonderful friends that wanted to celebrate with me. We had a blast and I got so wasted. I pushed my limits and had 5 1/2 shots (maybe more?) I totally paid for it the next day and it weakened my immune system and I've had the worse cold of my life for a little over a week now, but it was worth it! I'll never drink that much again, but I had to do it at least once in my life. I'm always really cautious about how many drinks I had, and this time I just didn't want to worry or think about it. I don't know how I managed to get out of my head.

Thank you to everyone that made my birthday such a memorable and fun one! I smile just thinking about it.
