If you haven’t told Amanda happy birthday yet, do it now. This lovely little lady turned 24 this past Monday! I personally think that this will be her best year yet and here’s why:
1. She’s going to graduate at the end of the year.
2. She’s become more independent.
3. She’s finding herself more and more as the days go by.
For those who don’t have the privilege of knowing Amanda as well as a select few do, she’s truly a great girl to have in your inner circle. Her sarcasm and sass get me through the day. She’s so hilarious, I find myself laughing at the smallest things. Her style has always influenced me to express myself more. She can literally pull off anything. I’m so blessed to have her in my life, and I know all of her friends feel the same exact way. So this post is for her. I hope you can see how effortlessly cool she is through these badass pictures.
For her birthday, I treated her to dinner and yummy Happy Hour drinks at 50th St. Caboose. It was our first time eating there, and we will definitely be back. (The “Fajitiladas” will give you a food baby that you will cherish forever.) We worked all those carbs off in the arcade section of the restaurant. From ski-ball to Guitar Hero, we walked away with about 900 tickets. It got us a pizza keychain and 1 cat eraser that looks just like Mollie.
We went straight home and continued the festivities by watching HBO’s Girls and drinking wine. Shortly after, Amanda busted out her new GoPro camera and used it to take these awesome pictures for this blog. I mean, our outfits were totally killing it. I think I can speak for Amanda by saying she had a great birthday. It was my goal to make her feel as loved as her family and friends from back home usually do, and I feel like I accomplished that.
