My 21st Birthday + Link-it To Me Link Party #18

First of all, I want to thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday yesterday!! I appreciate it SO much! I had such an amazing day and couldn't have asked for anything better! I went to the Yankee game (on the most beautiful day of the summer might I add) and got to see my favorite team win SUCH a good game to see! I then went to a brand new shopping center on the way home that is literally like a small town of nothing but stores! It looks like NYC with so many tall buildings and sidewalks with pretty flowers but instead of skyscrapers there's nothing but endless stores and shopping! My jaw hit the ground the moment we drove in - it was every shopping lover's dream!

A couple pictures of my new favorite shopping center:


I then got to have my favorite dinner ever and of course, my favorite cake ever - the Hershey chocolate bar cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory!! Too good to count calories for a day! I am so blessed to have the best family and friends who gave me the most beautiful day, gifts and love on my 21st birthday!! Here's some more pictures from my day:

The beautiful flowers I got from my older sister

Gotta love Google!!



My first legal drink!!

Thank you again to everyone who wished me a happy birthday and who made my day so special! Definitely one of the best days I've ever had! As my Dad always says, it's my birthday week and you can bet that I'll keep celebrating! I'm now working on planning my trip to Las Vegas that I've been anxiously awaiting since I was a freshman in high school : )
I also have to thank my best blogging friend Chantal for featuring me and my blogger's spotlight questionnaire during tonight's link party! You can check it out to see my answershere!
