17th Birthday weekend...
It's been such a long weekend and I've wanted to blog about it since 3am last night. But unfortunately my wireless wasn't working in my room :(But anyways....so its really felt like it's been my birthday the whole weekend and I'm not complaining in the slightest!
It all started off on Friday. My dad got me out of school early to go shopping with him and my sister that was a lot of fun and worth missing 2 periods of study for let me tell ya! It was good to catch up with Becca and just having fun. Then we got home around 6 and I got my first present...it was a package all wrapped up in brown paper that had come in the post. Very intriguing!! I opened the brown wrapper to find another layer of wrapping paper..with the instruction on the envelope that I must not open the gift until Saturday and I didn't! It was from my dear Rach (Skelton) the whole way from good olde bonnie Scotland. Thank you so much, you made my day coz it was so exciting getting it in the post. Later that night I then had a visit from Miss Mckeown. We were both wrecked fromt the week's events so we just sat and watched Friends and Ugly Betty.
It was then off to bed before the big 'day'. At 8 am I started to get my first 'birthday texts' first one was from my dad (wait Skelton you sent me one at like 2 mins past 12 as well!LOL) then it was just loads of different friends and my phone didn't stop until like 7pm that night! So I was kinda only dosing from then until around 9.30 then it was time to get up and at it. I got ready and headed up to Saintfield for a Czech meeting. It was good fun and they made me smile (and blush) when Val walked in with a gorgeous chocolate muffin with a little pink candle in it, while the team sung happy birthday. It was so sweet. I just had time at the end to catch up with Val a little play with Erin and Talthia then I was off to my next 'appointment'.
I was getting my hair cut and coloured. Although it ended up I couldn't face getting it cut coz I like my length right now so I got my fringe chopped then I got it curled. I loved it. I was there until 3.30pm. Got home and mucked about a bit (which didn't impress mum). I reviewed the 'list of guests' to realise the numbers had changed quite substancely so my mum thought it would be courtious to inform the restuarant. We did so to discover they had wrote down the wrong time. Yes, I am completely blaming Giraffe (the restuarant) because I definately said 7.30!!! BOTH TIMES! Lol. But anyways after stressing a little over that we comprised for 7.15pm. But we had to leave the table at 8.45 which was no problem in the end.
A couple of girls where coming over to mine to get ready and then head up to the restuarant with me. So I got ready before they came to avoid the whole stress and fluster of getting ready all in the same room. After leaving my room in a substancal state (lol not really!) it was time to get on the move. On my way there I got a lovely text from Val which made me smile a lot (thanks dear!). The meal was lovely but I don't think anyone had a clear plate! Lol! We had photo sessions inside and outside. Taking pictures outside was a hoot....guys through food and cd's at us lol!! Check out our snazzy group photos here
Sarah Wilson et moi...we have the art of distraction in study down to a t!Lol
We then scooted over to my pad to take center stage for a lil sing star. It was a good laugh. We ate, we laughed, we chatted. It was imense and wasn't over until 2.45am this morning so I really squeezed every last minute out of it.
oday, I took cake to bible class...which made a delious breakfast for my fellow peers! Then I came home and Tim took me DRIVING! Ahh for the first time. And no matter what he says I'm proud of myself...I did not cause anyone damage or the car. I only stalled like 5 times (lol) and listened carefully to my intructions. It was very exciting and I laughed a lot.
I then only had time to check out my ipod for a bit (my dad got me an ipod nano and it's RED...part of the money goes to the (PRODUCT) Red charity). Then Tim took Claire (his fiance), Matthew and I to Rowallene for a walk and it was beautiful...its been a beautiful day.
It's been an amazing weekend thank you to you all who have made it so special. I have taken so many pictures this weekend its crazy!
Thank you for all the gifts from everyone and anyone...I really appreciate them and every single one of them had thought and effort behind them. Many have brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for a remeberable time guys!!
I love you all so much and I thank God everyday for ya'll
May you feel his peace always!
