Lyrics I love

Heaven's not a place that you go when you die,

It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive,

So live for the moment

-- The Spill Canvas --

Here's just one of my moments. What's yours?

The week of twenty-first celebrations...

Okay, so I've been super slack and this is a little late, but yes! You heard correctly; I made it. I am now twenty-one years of age. And what a celebration I had!

It began on Saturday July 3, 2010. My darling father for my 30th Anniversary State of Origin jersey (courtesy of big sis!) be signed, and personalised with "Happy 21st Amy" by the entire Queensland team; the most successful and amazing Queensland team in history. It truly was the most incredible gift I have EVER received. EVER.

HELLO BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER? Well, one of...

Then came the family dinner. All of my rellos under one roof certainly causes tension (and is the sole reason I decided to separate my family party from my friends party). I know everyone says that "every family has one". You know, the one you're embarrassed to call family. The one where this phrase would fit perfectly: "I can choose my friends, but I can't choose my family", when explaining HOW on this Earth you are even remotely related to someone like this. But other than that one, the night was lovely.

My gorgeous Grandad and I. Can you believe he's 81?!

On Monday July 5, 2010, just chilling in Mooloolaba having coffee with friends, I turn my head and who should I see but my beloved Queensland Origin team? Coincidence or what?! Not letting an opportunity pass me by, of course I went up to chat with the sweetest soul in the NRL, Darren Lockyer. We chat for a good while; I explain that Wednesday July 7, 2010 (the day of the final State of Origin game if the 2010 series) is my ACTUAL birthday, and that I will be attending, seated in Row 2. I proceed to tell him that he simply must win for me, to which he laughs and says they'll do their best. Turns out they did win, and I stand by the fact that they did it for me. Don't argue, they did.

And so to Wednesday... My best friend, Pauline and I arrive in Sydney at around 12:30pm. Depending on your sense of adventure, this may be an ideal time for you to call us "nuts". For our 19-hour flash trip to Sydney, we have no accommodation, only the clothes on our backs and strategically packed essentials in our handbags (money, tickets, lip gloss, mints, deodorant, phone and camera).

We lunched in the city, then trekked to ANZ Stadium to witness my spectacularly good-looking Queensland Origin team beat the incapable New South Wales Blues 23-18. (A quick Did You Know? There is an entire generation of kids who started school this year who weren't born when the Blues last won a series? FYI.)

   

As I said earlier, we had no accommodation, so what are two girls in Sydney to do for about eight hours on a Wednesday night/Thursday morning? Well, duh! Go out and celebrate Queensland's monumental series Maroon-wash!

This was our 3:14am photo taken at Cheers. Exhaustion setting in in a big way.

I have to admit, the hardest thing about our Sydney trip was making sure we stayed awake enough to get ourselves to the airport for our 7am flight.

With my friend's party just days away, I had no time to be tired. I had planning to do! Cooking, cleaning, decorating... It was all happening! And it was the best way to end a week of twenty-first birthday celebrations.

Good food:

Good company:

                       

A few drinks:

And lots of dancing!

And it wouldn't be a twenty-first birthday party without a prank on the the birthday girl. Someone had a spectacular idea to fill a pinata with my favourite lollies and have me hit it with a dildo that smelled like peaches. Yes, peaches.

So that was my week of twenty-first celebrations. As you can see, I'm very blessed to have so many beautiful people to share this milestone with.

Happy blogging.
