Hey all,
What a great birthday my sister and I had! I felt so special and lucky because of all the gifts and birthday wishes! I am so very fortunate to grow up in the family that I do, not only because my parents are always so supportive of everything I set out to do, but because they spoil us, their children, to death! My sister and I have shared a car for the past 2 and a half years, but now we get our OWN cars!! I still am so shocked to be able to say that! I think I am going to keep the car we have now, its a cute and very reliable vw beetle. 
Ill just get it fixed up a bit, and itll be all mine! It’s tough sharing a car, especially when we have different schedules…but it’s been an adventure all the same. I am so grateful to even have a car to drive, that I cannot believe I’ll have my own for college. This is so exciting, and just another step toward independence and becoming an adult. Aside from the big surprise, we had a nice dinner and reminiced about our family memories together. (And ate birthday cake of course!) That’s really the only way I can imagine celebrating my birthday’s, family is the best. We had some friends over the next night for a laid back mexican food fiesta at our home. My dog was probably the life of the party though, he has such weird quirks and eats the embers that fly out of the fire pit in our back yard! Haha.
Well aside from a great weekend….I am looking forward to a beautiful two weeks in Michigan. My sisters and I will be in Chicago for two of the days as well! Such a fun city. And the best part…I got a great lil camera. I will try to remember to take pictures, but I am so bad at capturing moments! That way, I can get some pics up on here more often I hope!
I’ll be on again soon, I’m sure…maybe while traveling :p
Enjoy this great month of July!
