"Happy 21st birthday Mauricio!!" will be echoed numerous times in just a handful of hours. As the clock strikes midnight my little bro, the baby of the Rocha trio, will be 21 years old. This day has been imagined many ways and times since I was old enough to know what it really meant to turn "21". Being almost eight years older than Maudi and only 1.5 younger than our older brother, Jr. I can recall the short wait it was when Jr. was 23 and I was awaiting my 21st. The wait we all have had for Mauricio's big 21 will soon be over or already is if you're barely reading this TABO, and it's past midnight... FELIZ 21!! I LOVE YOU!
It all goes down 11.15.11, the celebration of a new era. After all tedious details of choosing a guest list, sending invites, making reservations, choosing dessert treats, and finding decor/recuerdos, family and friends will come together and celebrate in Mauricio's honor. I am thrilled for the gathering and excited to see it all come together. The late night thoughts and occasional dreams about 11.15.11 will be a highly anticipated dream come true.
After our celebration tomorrow night, we will be off to celebrate in Las Vegas! Not only will we maybe.... probably.... ok most definitely stop by a local club after dinner with those who choose to join us, the adventures of Sin City are screaming for us to arrive. Three days til Vegas, just some hours til his birthday. I am so proud of who you are, what you teach me, the laughs you bring everyone in your presence, all you have done and still have to accomplish. Happy 21st Birthday brother, the day has come.
