It's pretty fun I suppose.
The month leading up to my birthday I dreaded, because, come on..18. Like what is good about 18? It's almost as awkward as 16. Wasn't really looking forward to it.
Buuutt my birthday way pretty spectacular and being an adult...[uh that word still makes me cringe] is pretty neat.
8am:
Woke up to Sally's annoying alarm (someday from the august rush soundtrack), followed by a "Ellie wake up" and "Ellie you have to be ready by nine".
Huh?
and a response from me "I'm not waking up this early its my birthday". yes, already pulling the bday card...but it didn't work.
I did what she said and soon after nine I was blindfolded and stuck in a car... & I didn't even get to talk to whoever was driving the car because they wouldn't talk to me....like oh okay..
9:30am:
Stopped in a parking lot and I heard the glorious voice of Ryan! "okay you can get out"
Like holla at my sadies date!
We ate breakfast at village inn and it was delightful.
Following that we headed back to his house (apparently he was stalling me). & after leaving he told me to put on the blindfold again, so I was like okay sure. We drove around and then pulled into a driveway.
We got out of the car and getting from the car to inside wherever we were was like being guided through an active land mine... blind, it was scary and I probably looked like a chicken walking so cautiously. But we made it in one piece and headed down some stairs anddddd
11am:
"SURPRISE!".
I took off the blindfold to see all my sweet friends gathered to celebrate me.
like wow
i felt soooo loved!
it was truly wonderful.
ya it was pretty great & sal is pretty great for throwing me a surprise party. Loves on loves for that girl!
The rest of that day was wonderful and I got to spend it with some truly amazing people!
Thank you all my dear friends and family for making it soooooooooooooooooo special & thank you all for blowing up my phone with such sweet messages it made my day!
oh the other hand......
One year until I can serve the Lord. I am so excited.
I know it will be hard, but I have been sooo blessed by having the gospel in my life- it has brought me so much happiness and I want share that with others and allow them to feel the love of our savior!
Ya okay 18 will be pretty great.
