A 60s Birthday Party (for my main squeeze).

I put together a little birthday bash for my love's birthday. The twist: we had a 60s theme. The gents came in their finest suits (pocket squares, hats, & cigars optional) while the ladies came in their best cocktail dresses and gloves (pearls, hats, and fur optional) inspired by the 60s era. My favourite dress was Cheryl's vintage dress from the 60s--it was a stunner! And of course, I had to cook and bake everything :) Ryan has turned me into such a cheese fanatic, my favourites were the cheese dishes... well, and the cake I baked (lemon cake with cream cheese frosting and raspberry jam as the filling.

the end of a chapter.

I finally am done with my collegiate undergrad studies in psychology! So long to the midterms, finals, examinations, and 10-, 20-, 30- page papers! Farewell to the all nighters consisting of procrastination, break-throughs, epiphanies, online-shopping breaks, and midnight ramen cravings before due dates... I know they were tough... but I'll miss being in school. I've been taking college preparatory classes since the seventh grade, as well as college courses during my high school years. Sometimes I feel like all I know how to do is to be in school! Alas, on to the "real world"... but not without a little celebrating!
