My mother, best friend, cousin, and boyfriend all teamed up and threw me a surprise birthday party. It was the sweetest thing. I knew about it the entire time, but its just the fact that they put the effort in to do something special for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: book antiqua,palatino,serif;\">Some of my friends from my old school came. That was a big surprise. It was hilarious when I went to walk into my room, and he walked out, looked right at me, turned back into my room, and slammed my door in my face. Apparently, I had gifts and people in my room. That includes my boyfriend and my cousin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: book antiqua,palatino,serif;\">When the twins from South Pike showed up (Neveah and Destiny) I was blown away. I hadn&#8217;t seen them in a good four months, and I hadn&#8217;t realized how much I missed them. My best friend was in charge of the guest list, and I&#8217;m really grateful she went to the extent of bringing people she knew I would want to see.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: book antiqua,palatino,serif;\">My big brother came with his fianc\u00e9. He was just as annoying and embarrassing as usual, but I just let it happen. I never see the idiot anymore, and I suppose I miss the rough-housing a little bit. To top it off, he got me a polaroid camera! I was so freaking happy. I have been wanting one for ages now. I barely see him, yet he still knew what to get me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: book antiqua,palatino,serif;\">My future step dad&#8217;s family came. His mother gave me a plague that she painted a feather pen on to symbolize my writing. He gave me a beautiful necklace with my name engraved on it. It was all so thoughtful, and I am so grateful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: book antiqua,palatino,serif;\">My best friend showed me how much she really knows me. she bought me a pair of unicorn slippers and a cacti covered wallet. It was so sweet. I had mentioned my want for the two items to her before, but she took it to new extent and really showed me how much she pays attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: book antiqua,palatino,serif;\">It was a great party, and I truly enjoyed myself. I love everyone who came, and I am forever grateful to my mother, best friend, cousin, and boyfriend for going through all that trouble and caring for me so much that they&#8217;d do this for me. I couldn&#8217;t ask for better people in my life.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend was so carbonated.
