21st Birthday in Napa Valley

This post is going to be SO picture heavy, so prepare yourselves.  My 21st birthday was a week ago and for it, my mom took me to Napa Valley along with 3 of my aunts and my best friend.  It was amazing and my love for wine just grew and grew! 

First though, here is the beautiful necklace that my Jacob got me for my birthday.  I am so lucky!

 Now...Napa Time!

Our first stop...the Winery "Castello Di Amorosa"

So much wine!

My first legal drink came straight from here

Wine and Chocolate.
Does it get any better?

Another Winery.. Del Dotto

The Best Friend!

Anna and I got to try on wedding dresses
(just for fun)
But I fell in absolute love with this one.

My favorite Winery..Sterling.
The view was amazing, you had to ride a gondola
to get to the winery.

Monday Morning Coffee

Happy Monday my bloggy friends! 
Today is Jake's 21st birthday so I am super excited because I finally get to give him all of his gifts.  I am awful, awful at keeping presents a secret.  I managed to keep 1/3 this time though.  
He will be receiving a Fossil Wallet, a phone case that looks like an old GameBoy, and a mug that I made full of a 'bouquet' of shots that are made for coffee.  
Because I don't turn 21 for another 2 weeks or so, I threw him a birthday dinner last night since I know that tonight I will be left to fiend for myself whilst he goes out and enjoys his 21-ness.  
Sigh.  Its hard being 20 in a world of 21 year olds.  2 more weeks, 2 more weeks!

As for the rest of this week, there is not much planned. My air conditioner finally works! Going 2 months of summer with no A/C was not really the best thing ever.   I need to clean my icky, icky house and spend some quality time at the gym working off all of Jake's birthday celebrations.  But I can live with boring this week because in less that 2 weeks, my best friend will be flying in to spend a week with me and we are taking a girls trip with my mommy to Napa Valley so that I may bask in my wine obsession.

I think I'll play this playlist today. It has some pretty darned beautiful covers.  It is lovely.

I hope you all have a fabulous week! Oh, and if you have access to PT's Coffee, buy the kind called 'Cookie Doodle.'  My oh my, it is good!

Bentley Scrilla's 1st Birthday Party

I know, I know...its slightly lame that I had a birthday party for my puppy- but really, I treat him like my child on any other given day so I figured a party wasn't too far of a stretch.  Here are some pictures from the little guys big day.  :)

All the cute stuff I got from the Doggy Bakery.

Singing 'Yappy Birthday'

Are you guys sure I can has this?
