birthday fun!

Last night was a ton of fun, celebrating the birth of my dear friend and fellow English teacher, Robyn! We began the night at her place, where she served a bunch of yummy appetizers and provided drinks for the party goers. I am still abstaining from alcohol, and I've actually decided to do so all the way through the holidays and into the new year. I love waking up after a night with friends and feeling so great- no headache, no tummy ache, just perfect. I have just as much fun when I don't drink, so I'm not really sure why I choose to do it in the first place. It's also very easy to abstain when you have a husband who is straight edge, like I do. He doesn't care if I drink, but he knows that I am happier with myself when I don't, and he encourages me to be my best self all of the time. So anyway, after the cocktail hour at Robyn's house we all made our way over to the Taj Mahal, a fantastic Indian restaurant right downtown. The night was full of laughter and fun, and delicious food! Everyone really enjoyed the cake I made and the entire dinner party was a huge success. After dinner a few of the girls and I headed downtown for some dancing and ended the night on a great note! Happy birthday Robyn!

Here are some pictures, of course. If you'd like to see more, simply click on any of these photos to be transported to my Flickr!
