29: Time to live it up

So, Tuesday I had a birthday. And while the number is nothing special, the age actually is. It's a wrapping up, coming to the end, closing of a chapter kind of age.

29. Last year of my twenties.

It's funny how you begin your twenties in one state of mind - college, class, dorms, partying, shackin', traveling ...and finish your twenties in somewhat of a different state of mind - job, career, travel, weddings, husbands, houses.

Well, at least for me.

But what's even funnier is while I started and ended the decade in a different place, I'm still {for the most part} doing the same things at 29 I did at 21.

The twenties are accepting. If there are things you're still doing at 29 that you did at 21 but shouldn't be doing, you can get away with it. It's ok to figure yourself out, change jobs, drink too much, spend too much, date and break up and marry. It's also ok to find your dream job, grow your family, and actually stay in on a Friday night, if you want to.

That is what your twenties is for; to make decisions, to make mistakes, to go and do, see and be seen, grab life by the horns and run with it.

With all that said, I'm embracing this year. I'm going to keep doing what I've been doing for the past 9 years.

How is that for a preachin???

Here is my birthday week in celebration....

Cheers!

Happy Birthday to my sweet Lil Sis as well. She made her debut 23 years ago on my 6th birthday and while I may or may not have thought it at the time, it's still my best birthday present yet to this day. Love you Lina.

M & K are Hitched!

This post is lonnng overdue but I wanted to wait for the newlyweds (aka. LTK's fave readers) to return from their incredible honeymoon to Argentina, Uruguay, and somewhere else? fancy & fabulous.

M&K got married St. Patty's Day weekend in Charleston. And not just Charleston...but a beautiful historic plantation under the Avenue of the Oaks. We all stayed downtown on King Street which I had not visited in years. Best shopping, nightlife & food.  Not to mention how fun it is celebrating a best friends wedding with all of your friends together in one place.

Everything about the wedding was perfect from the gorgeous setting, grilled cheese station, 80's band (ohhhh yea), and just the simple elegance.

Complete Southern Charm.

Not to mention, M was super chill ;) and had the time of her life which always makes for a fun wedding.

Oh & she let us bridesmaids where any color dress and any style.

People ranted & raved over how good it looked and it just so happens everyone wore complimenting colors...yep, she knows her friends well.

Enough chat, here are the few (sadly) pics that I took.
