I’ve never been keen on big birthday celebrations for myself. But this year, I decided that a trip to New York would be warranted (this WAS a milestone birthday – 21, again, you know). Gian made arrangements in Chelsea, took me to see Next to Normal and Hair, and dinner at one of my favorite chef’s restaurants! On top of all that, we got to see some wonderful friends and spend time with them. It was the most spectacular birthday celebration I’ve had!
