How does an LDS hipster girl celebrate her 18th birthday in Canada, where the legal age to drink is 18? Let me tell you. (sorry the formatting is a little messed.)
Victoria and her sister threw me the greatest 18th birthday party of all time. She surprised me about a week and a half ago saying that she and Amanda would do my party for me! I was ecstatic because 1. I knew that they would do an amazing job and 2. I really had no time to plan a party so they took so much stress off my back!
I wasn't supposed to know the theme (thus the surprise element) but it got spoiled before the party. But, it was all right because I had time to prepare the best outfit because it was hipster themed!
I showed up at 8:45 Saturday night and this is what I discovered:
The dreamiest mantle I could imagine; seriously, I was drooling.
A lovely gift and record station with the most amazing present- Layelle gave me a real papyrus from Egypt because she knew how much I love it!
Here's the kicker I found in the kitchen- a professional root beer keg. Manda covered it with parchment so everyone could sign it!
Besides the obvious decor and food, I found some crazy people I love.
Around the corner you will find a totally sweet photobooth complete with props. Victoria and Amanda handmade the backdrop- love you more than words.
Thank you eternally for a party that I'll rememeber for a lifetime and then some!How's that for an ironic statement?

A convenient mustache and tattoo application station- complete with temporary Ed Hardy tattoos which made the night that much better. |

The night flew by and I wish it would've lasted forever.
Today was spent at church, enjoying a homemade Cafe Rio pork salad (thanks mom!), chocolate cake, (I live for my mom's frosting) some present opening and a visit from my young woman's leaders. Here's my last post as a 17 year old, and it's bittersweet. This year has been so "awesome, spectacular, astounding, astonishing, confounding, breathtaking, extraordinary, dazzling, fabulous, eye-opening, miraculous, mind-boggling, prodigious, overwhelming, remarkable, startling, staggering, stupendous, stunning, surprising, wondrous, wonderful" I can't even say goodbye, only thank you golden 17 year.
Love,
