Hello! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!! :) Finally sixteen & I'm super excited!!
I wasn't able to have a party because I had a band performance and I didn't want to plan/host a party. But surprisingly, I enjoyed myself a lot :)
So my parents got me a pretty cake with pandas and chocolate palm trees and a mango rose. I'm honestly not a big fan of cakes, but I fell in love with this cake. It was so cute and yummy and it was perfect. But because I had a very busy schedule on the day of my birthday, we actually cut the cake the night before.
Okay, so when I woke up on Thursday, I received a text from my boyfriend asking me to get ready by 10AM and that he's taking me out to breakfast. Which was a cute idea, until he accidentally overslept and picked me up at 11 instead. LOL. Besides that, I thought the whole idea was pretty sweet and I was so excited to start the day with him. We went to a small cafe in our area and ordered what we considered 'american breakfast'. I got a kale smoothie and a breakfast bagel with eggs, cheese, and ham. Nathan got a very berry smoothie and a breakfast croissant with eggs, cheese, and sausage. I thought the price was reasonable and it was VERY filling.The reason I wasn't able to have a party like most other girls do for their 16th birthday was because I had a performance. I am involved in my school's marching band, and for the past five years, my school has been competing to be the best parade band in SoCal. Today, we debuted our parade march for this season and holyshizzles do we sound good. I'm genuinely excited for this season because I believe we can kick some butt. We have such an amazing group of people this season and every single person is absolutely amazing. I started marching band as a freshmen not knowing too many people, not being able to play at a high level and had no idea how hard marching was, but I was glad I had the best section leaders to guide me to where I am today. I'm so glad that as a junior, I am now a section leader and having such a great flute group. I met some amazing people and learned a ton and when Mr. A says that this will be the highlight of my high school life, sometimes, I truly believe that it will. Being here sounded like a horrible way to spend a girl's 16th, but honestly, it felt like a huge party I didn't have to plan, which was amazing!
A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who said Happy Birthday, to everyone who made me smile and influenced my life in one way or another. I love love love love love you all and I couldn't ask for better people in my life. ❤❤❤
