HAPPY BIRTHDAY - to me!

i am 25! my mom will say she can't believe it! :) i can't believe i found these, but here are a couple pictures, just for fun, on or around previous birthdays...oh my gosh, am i really this close to 30 now? Hehe. I know this picture is from freshman year of college... Sarah Shook (now Gompert) and I's birthdays were within a few days, so we were getting ready to go to Applebee's (the only chain restaurant in Murray) to celebrate. White was our residential college and this sign has been gone for a while, although it hasn't been that long since I was 19! From left to right: Sarah Schardein, Brittany Renfro, Ashley Lanham, Paula Singer, me
I am pretty sure this is from 21, but I am not actually positive. We all had birthdays within a few weeks, so we were celebrating together with a theme party! Murray Country Club anyone?

This is 23... in Nashville, TN, with Cynthia Charleville and Sara Stewart. There is a constant theme with these joint birthday parties... but it was also a celebration for Sara's birthday. We traded back and forth this crown so we could get attention and free drinks :)
