This was the actual day I celebrated my 16th birthday because I would leave for school on my birthday weekend.<br \/>\nFor my 16th, I decided to have a game and a movie night outside in my backyard. This idea originally sounded fun to me because I always wanted to go to a drive-in movie. What would be even better would be a drive-in movie and my\u00a0friends all in my backyard.<\/p>\n<p>So on the day of the event, I woke up\u00a0early in the morning and went to get my nails done. My makeup appointment followed that. I went for a soft- glow-glam-look with gold glitter eyes.\u00a0I proceeded to go home and get dressed in my birthday attire. For my outfit, I had a white crop blouse with ruffled ends and high waisted bell bottom jeans both from Forever 21. I paired it with a pair of leopard open toe heels. All I can say is&#8230;<em>your girl was looking bomb!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Shortly some of my friends arrive and we went to take pictures at the Renaissance Mall.<\/p>\n<p>Around 7 o&#8217;clock the party started so we made our way back to my house. As I opened the front door of my house to find rose gold and white decor including balloons in all quarters of the living room. A huge birthday banner across the dining room wall with a sweet table below it including chocolate covered Rice Krispies, Oreos, pretzels, and a light pinked flowered icing cake to top it all off.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the party soon arrived with great smiles we played games like Jenga, Bummer Ball, dice, etc. Later, we ate, danced to some bops, and shared some laughs while watching Scary Movie 2 on a projector outside.<\/p>\n<p>Before I knew it, it was 11 o clock and it was time to say goodbye to my friends. Of course, this was emotional considering I it would be a while until I saw most of them. I tried to stay strong and hold\u00a0back my tears, but I couldn&#8217;t. My tears weren&#8217;t all sad. It was a mixture between missing these dear people and being hopeful that I will see them again soon.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the party was a success and had good energy throughout the whole event. I was happy that I got to enter my 16th year with the ones I love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August 4th, 2003 was indeed a good day&#8230;one might even say, a magical day.
