22deuce deuce22

so this past july i unwillingly turned 22. (july 31st to be exact!) to me, 22 sounds SO much older than 21. but oh well. so as most of you know, my birthday lasts the whooole month. so we started it off with a bang: me, lo, kt, & rox went to vegas to celebrate my bday, girls style. which i've already blogged about :) then i did a family dinner @ bjs (which im STILL waiting for the pictures from, ahem *sarah!!*). it was so amazing. the original plan was to go to fred's on main street for taco tuesday, but it was a joke down there cuz not only was it taco tuesday, but main street has the street fair on tuesdays! the wait was at LEAST an hour and a half, so after a slight change of plans, we ended up @ bjs in HB. :] sarah already had a shot of patron waiting for me (like the great sister she is). so it was me, j, amy, ma, sarah, jake, sheila, jack, jess & rick. the whole fam. it was really meaningful to me knowing how crazy and ridiculous everyone's schedules are we can never find a free minute (let alone a WHOLE night) together. did i even mention my free pazookie!? next on the celebration list, was my work birthday party. heather, sara, & rox (&holly) bent over backwards to make sure i'd have a great birthday. the original plan was to party it up @ holly's, but she unfortunately got really sick, so we ended up pre-partying @ anthony's house with some AMAZING jello shots, then movin on over to sara's, then to dave & busters. SO MUCH FUN! :] the next morning (@ 4am and still very much drunk) me, jason, jaimie & james headed out to laughlin! after some extreme hangover and a few un-classy shots (my first time vomiting in a plastic bag.. IN a car) we made it to the river, where i got to test the best cure for a hangover.. drinking some more! :] laughlin was amazing. super hot (120 degrees) but water, gambling, & alcohol? it doesn't get much better. the weekend was pretty much filled with beer (looots of beer), water, suuuun (lots of sun), jetskis, gambling, vodka (LOOOOTS of vodka) & some good fkn food. jaimie went all out to make sure my birthday was celebrated. it was so cute. she got me spongebob pancakes & took me out for sushi that night! i've realized that my favorite thing to do in a casino is to sit @ the cheap blackjack table ALL night, suck down the free drinks & find a good dealer. i had SO much fun!! i can't wait till our next trip to laughlin or vegas!! LET'S GO!
