Happy Birthday to me! Almost...
Moi, Rachel, Elaine, Jessi
What an honor it is to share a birthday with Jesus... truly.... but some years, it can be tough sharing that day with Him because my birthday always seems to get overshadowed with everyone being caught up in their own holiday things. Regardless, my friend Rachel, the ultimate party planner, is always so good at making a point to throw me some kind of fabulous birthday party. This year, the theme was bringing out our inner divas, and everyone dressed up in cute cocktail dresses and high heels. The inner princess in me couldn't help but sport a tiara too. It was fun to have one of my brides, Jessi, join the celebration also! My friend, Elaine, also helped plan and the girls surprised me by later in the night taking me to the coolest dive to sing karaoke!! As much as I love to sing, I totally loved it! It had been so long since I was brave enough to get up in front of an audience and belt my heart out.
Rachel and I wanted to sing one of our favorite party songs, Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody", but they didn't have it in the list of songs to sing. So instead, we went with another 80s classic, Madonna's "Material Girl". Elaine tried to take some video of us on Rachel's point and shoot camera, but:
a) It was pitch black in there
b) You couldn't hear us for all the bar buzz
c) I don't know if I would even want to hear how I sounded after one too many cosmos!
It was a fun night celebrating turning the big 2-7 and thank you girls for your friendship and all you did to help me feel special and not forgotten about in the midst of the holiday season!
Even though we couldn't sing to it, here's a slideshow of pics from the night to "I Wanna Dance With Somebody!" Rachel was so cute the way she decorated our dinner table below with pictures of... me. ha!
EDIT:
Elaine just sent me a bunch more from her camera! So here's a few more fun ones!
Elaine got a better video of Rachel and I doing karaoke, so if you are interested in hearing how bad we sound, check out the video here! (Sorry I couldn't figure out how to embed it!)
