7th Grade All Over Again...But Even Better!

My friend, Carli, decided to spend her 27th birthday at Medieval Times. Little did I know how much I'd enjoy this birthday party. Not only was it different than a typical bar or house party but it brought back so many memories of when I went there in 7th grade for my birthday party.
And yes, it brought back the memories of my birthday party but it also brought back memories of who I was and where my life was way back in 7th grade...who I was friends with, how much I loved horses and riding, what my big concerns were as a 7th grader, how I still keep in touch with some of those friends who were at my 7th grade party and how I'd never have guessed when I was there cheering on the blue knight back in 1992, where I'd be in my life16 years later cheering on the black and white team. What a wonderful night of flashbacks and appreciation for how blessed my life is! And even more fun being able to celebrate with a dear friend of mine and 15 of her friends eating with our fingers, shouting at the knights and pretending like we're in 7th grade all over again. Go Black and white night!! And Happy 27th Birthday Carlina!!

  1. LOL Oh, god, it is wrong on SO many levels to publicly post that picture of me! That hair...the goofy half-smile...and WTF is that sweater??? Thank god you at least didn't get a picture of me in my patchwork neon jacket like I have from that night! My GOD. Good times, though, Stephanie. Good times. Middle school was awesome with you guys.

  3. LOL, I think we look cute. We look like we're in that awkward stage of a 7th grader, pretty fitting! Yes we did have good times! I really wish you still lived here, I am sure we'd be close friends. :)
