Forever 21

So yesterday, I finally got to celebrate my 21st birthday with a bunch of my friends I haven't seen in a long time! I must admit, the last couple of hours preparing for this dinner were quite hectic (seeing as a few people could not make it last minute and my inability to cancel other reservations at "backup" locations creeped up behind me) but it all seemed to come together to make for a perfect evening! I was finally reunited with my childhood bestfriend who I have not seen in over a year (long distance schools make it quite the impossible task) while Milestones (located in the Atrium of Dundas Square, Toronto) kindly opened up the private dining room for my friends and I (yay, us!). It was such a nice experience- the waiters were friendly (mind you they were sometimes few and far in between), the food was yummy and the company made the evening that much more special. A great start to to the 21st year xo

My 21st

Yesterday was my 21st birthday and even writing that number seems incredibly foreign to me. Maybe it's because I still act like a 12 year old and look about minus 3 years from what I really am. Whatever the reason is, I woke up the next morning and prayed that this year would be blessed with happiness and good health. 21 I feel is a big year, one where the smallest of decisions can make a dramatic impact in my life and I can only hope that I make the right choices. Anyways, the day continued on celebrating with my family and friends! At night I finally had the chance to go to Joey Eaton's, a somewhat new restaurant located right at the heart of downtown, Toronto, with my brother and his girlfriend (just arrived that day from their vacation in Cuba), my boyfriend and mom (my dad refused because he said it was too expensive *rolls eyes*). The dinner was lovely, although my mom could not fathom how loud a restaurant could get at night! I would recommend this place for a crowd that does not mind shouting at each other at such a close distance! Other than that, the dinners had its ups and downs but it was nicely topped off with coming home and having the cake that my dad bought me. We finally had our first family photo in ages (our house is soo messy because Jeffrey just came home and we left right away for dinner) and I fell asleep that night exhausted. So here's hoping the rest of my 21st year is somewhat like my day yesterday (despite some arguments) and many more years to come xo,
