Re: PW-in honor of MandeeFoFandee

  • I want to say my 21st birthday. I could finally legally go out and have a drinks with my older friends.

  • Mine was my 25th birthday. DH totally surprised me by taking me to a cabin in the mountains. It was so relaxing, we had a hot tub on the deck and that faced a river. Both nights we were there we watched the elk from the hot tub. We also went into a small town near by and had amazing food and tons of fun walking through all the little stores.

  • Probably my 24th birthday. H took me to JoeVision in Detroit to watch the Wings play the Avalanche during a playoff round (Wings won it all that year). He tried to get tickets to a playoff home game but it was out of his price range, so he took me to the jumbotron game on my birthday instead. The Wings lost that game, but it was still fun! He saw my crazy hockey side for the first time (and still decided to stick with me Wink). I remember my mom was mad I wasn't spending my birthday with my family.

    This year's (33) will be good, I think, with the Paul Simon concert on that day.

  • Mine was my 26th. It was the first year DH and I were together. He took me to a great restaurant and had planned a surprise party after dinner with all our friends. It was really special because he took the time to plan it and surprise me and I'll never forget it.

  • My 33rd. My BFF & his twin have a birthday the day before mine. So 4 years ago a group of 18 of us went to Vegas to celebrate. It was so much fun. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

  • Either my 18th- My ex got a bunch of our friends together and we all had dinner at Carrabbas- I got a WHOLE cake of my favorite dessert there and then he booked a hotel on the beach for all of us. So fun!

    Or my 22nd- DH (before we were seriously dating) surprised me with dinner (again at Carrabbas) with my family and a few of my friends.

    I like surprises.

  • Since I'm a New Year's baby, I always celebrate New Year's Eve since most people aren't up for celebrating again on evening of the 1st.

    My 18th B-day was my "Golden Birthday" - 01/01/01.... which was a lot of fun.  Basically just your usual high school party at someone's grandparent's shore house, but my friends and I all got ridiculously dressed up, my bf at the time came home from college for the night, and I drunkingly made everyone sing me Happy Birthday when the ball dropped...

    My 23rd was also a blast.  We did this nye ferry boat ride that went up and down the Delaware and stopped to watched the fireworks over the Ben Franklin bridge. It was on of those get really dressed up and have open bar things, but all my college friends and some high school friends came and I just remember it being one of the greatest birthdays....

  • I have to say that my bday generally is not good at all. I think if I had to pick one, it was my 24th. I had the worst exam of my life that night, but I came home to flowers from my dad and cupcakes and a bottle of wine left from my BFF. DH also brought me home a stack of Wendy's deliciousness. I think this year might be good. We've got a BBQ scheduled and it's actually on a Saturday.

  • I'm not a huge fan of celebrating my birthday, but I'll go with my 21st. I started it out by going to see Aerosmith in concert. Then because my birthday fell the week before finals my friends kept it fairly low-key. It was also my first birthday spent with Kyle. We'd only been dating for a month or so, but after a night out at the bars he took care of me all night long.
  • Mine was my 16th (i know typical) but my mom and then boyfriend threw me an amazing suprise party. It was hawaian theme and they invited all my friends it was a total shocker. I enjoyed it so much.

  • awww I love this! thank you Eva!

    I'd have to say my 21st was one of my best birthdays ever. a bunch of friends and I flew down to Miami to celebrate. we got into Miami the night before my birthday and so when the clock hit midnight, I was down in the hotel bar having my first legal drink. that night we all got super dressed up and I wore a crown and everything... cheesy, I know, but it was so fun! the whole trip was a blast... laid on the beach during the day and hit all the nightclubs in the evenings. definitely memorable.

    my 16th was really awesome too though - my parents threw me a big party and rented out a clubhouse and invited ALL of my friends... there were about 50 people there and they hired a DJ and everything. it was also my last birthday with my mom, so it's special.

  • For me it was my 22nd. Dh threw a surprise birthday party for me. He secretly went to my work and my design school and told all my friends. It was one of the best parties and birthdays ever.

  • I would have to say my 21st I don't rember alot saw some great pics of me but i do remember my sister spent the whole day with me and we had a fun time going to the mall to get me an outfit to go to the bar then back to her house to do my hair and makeup for the night. I also rember wearing knee high six inch hooker boots over some tight black pants and a red shirt with lots of cleavage. to bad it was the first time i got drunk and my sister took tons of pics of me doing various things like making out with one of my cousins friends and falling flat on my face when I stood up in those stupid boots and didn't get teh whole balance thing. best part ever though was laying across the back seat of my cousins Jeep eating greasy McDonalds and ruining his carpet and seat covers. poor boy!
