Deanna turns 21

So my beautiful friend Deanna Shanae Atkins turned 21 on June 7th 2015.

FINALLY!
She is the last person in our trio of friends to finally turn 21.
Very small close friend group that hangs out all the time since we are a bit anti social.
Of Carter, Deanna and myself I turned 21 first and then Carter was a few weeks after and finally Deanna can hang out with us at bars.

This occurrence does not happen all that often.
So for her 21st we went all out.

Now for those of you that don't know, Deanna, Carter and I were in band together freshman year and we never really talked to each other.
Then first semester of sophomore year we were all in the Indy together. And I got to know Deanna there because we were both reporters. And then slowly I also go to know  Carter as well through Food lit.

Now this girl is crazy gorgeous and she pretty much kicks ass and takes names all the same time.
She has been the Print editor for the Indy for quite some time now but now shes moving on to video because she is just that cool and I know that she will do fabulous there too!
We are both middle children and because of this we are both really over protective older sisters to our little sisters.

She's a freaking model.
No joke and really if you've ever seen her you know why.

I love this girl to the moon and back and we've had so many classes together that we sometimes plan our class schedules so that we are in similar classes at the same time.

We may have different approaches to getting men, hers being the most effective.
But we can always gossip about the current herd of men or whatever is happening in the Indy.

She can bake like nobodies business. I'm actually quite surprised that Carter isn't 200 pounds already.
She has a real talent there.
And she can write too and I love being paired with her when we have to edit in class because she knows her stuff, but she is also great at giving feedback so it doesn't hurt.

So happy 21st beautiful!

Here is what happened on that gorgeous day.
Well the night before we had a party and Deanna and Carters place and then we headed to the bars whilst all dolled up and a bit tipsy to celebrate at midnight.
MOM we had a few DD's so we were safe the entire night.
I didn't drink after we left the party because once i'm tipsy I stop because I have this nagging feeling to always be somewhat coherent.
So I turned into full on control freak and herding people with Sierra, Deannas sister, from place to place.
We accidentally lost her but it was just that the group behind us decided to stop at the roadhouse and we didn't see and just kept going to Joel's.
Yep well we found them again.
Ended the night at the ranch like the best of us.

We went home and went to sleep.

And then we woke up that day and I went home got some sleep, ate some food and then came over again for round 2.
We made waffles. I put on some more make up and tried to make my hair manageable.
And then we headed out again!
Because we are just that cool or something.
Started in the office, went to Joel's, then the roadhouse and I was dozing off there which probably wasn't the best idea and then ended the night once again at the ranch.

So it was a crazy weekend but I wouldn't have had it any other way to celebrate her birthday.
Welcome the 21 and over crew
