Birthday Recap

My 24th birthday on Friday was SO. MUCH. FUN!!!!

The day started off with a birthday card awaiting me on my computer. It was from Christian of course...my lovely esposo. He actually bought me my presents about two weeks ago--a fitball and a yoga mat so that I can work out at home! In the bday card he gave me, he included another little something that I had been wanting: a tape measure to take better measurements on my fitness journey. It's in centimeters so I had to change the past two weeks of records, but that was no biggie.

Work was busy on Friday thanks to some deadlines, but we had free Starbucks in the office for some reason so that was great! I will never pass up Starbucks :) For lunch, Christian and I went out for some free Subway (we had filled up two of the stamp cards) and then for some torta at Starbucks afterwards. When I got back to lunch, these were stilling on my keyboard:

(A little something from our secretary, Susana, she is just too sweet!)

Friday night around 8pm we headed over to Play3 (one of the Playback bars) on Pedro de Valdivia to start the celebration. Slowely but surely everyone started to arrive and although everyone was a little apprehensive to start singing...happy hour helped that out and soon you couldn't get us off the stage!!! ;)

Pretty much everyone who RSVP'd was able to make it, and a few other people stopped by too which was a great addition: Christian and myself, Emily & Rodolfo, Kyle & Seba, Heather & Vuko, Leigh, Rachel & friends, Katina, Andrea & friend, Jimena & René, Gabriela & José, Felipe, Verónica, Carol, Emma & Diego, Sarah & Sebastian, Jamie, and Iván. People kept bringing presents which was more than I expected--I just wanted everyone to come hang out--but I am very appreciate of the beautiful gifts I received. (¡Gracias amigos por todo!)

En fin, I had a blast and we got home from Play3 at like 2:30am. The only thing that could have made this birthday better would have been seeing my family (in person) and having La Boricua, Clarita, Kathy and Staci here to celebrate too!!!

Here are some pics, and best of all, the remix video that Christian made of our performances:

I had a ridiculously fun time at your birthday! I'm glad you enjoyed it too :) feliz cumple, mujer, and way to be motivated about fitness madness! (Although you already look awesome, btw)
Thanks for the brilliant idea (karaoke...never thought i'd be so brave) and for organizing it! See you again soon.
