Surprise!

When I turned twelve, my friends from school planned a surprise party for me. It was the end of the school year. I was moving from Maryland to Pennsylvania during the summer, so I guess this was supposed to be our final farewell. But I ended up hating the whole process. Not knowing what was going on, I started to get upset because my friends were always whispering behind my back and giggling when they saw me.

Call me an insecure girl, ready to enter middle school.

How was I supposed to know they were in the midst of planning my surprise party and weren't doing a very good job at keeping it a secret.

Fast forward...seventeen years later (oh, I mean twenty-three). I didn't hear much whispering and giggling or maybe I'd given up my middle school ways, but this surprise party completely blind sighted me. Completely shocked, I was. And I felt completely spoiled.

Thank you everyone for making my birthday extra special this year!!

Making a wish...
that your next birthday will just as fun and exciting!
