Birthday fun!

Well I'm 19, one year older, another year wiser...or so the saying goes!

It was a eventful day, full of fun and a few surprises.

I kicked off the fun yesterday afternoon, shooping with Mom. We were looking for a nice outfit to wear for Grad pictures. We found adorable purple skirt, covered with roses, and as almost a tutu look in the cut, with two teirs in a straight base. (If that made any sense to you, YAY!) and a lovely black shirt with a cute ruffled (not too ruffled) neckline to match! Accent with a beautiful new necklace and matching earrings and TA-DA I'm picture perfect!

We also found a cute camo shirt to match my green skirt, and a bright blue tank top to match my white one. A cute white see-through shirt to throw over the both of those and it's a nice look I can wear any where! Of course that included getting a blue necklace/braclet set to go with my new outfit. (I already had accents to match my green look) Top it off with some cute purple circle earrings with a lace like pattern, with a rose and a moon. Mom said she just had to get them for me...I wasn't going to say no I love them! And so ended Sunday's fun.

Today Dad bought doughnuts, and I opened my other gift from my parents. A cute little bear statue with the little "R" it is tucked safely away till it heads up to my dorm in Augest. Mom and I went shoe shopping and found a cute pair of black wedges that I love! We met Dad at the Japanese steakhouse and I had sushi! Mom and Dad tried it too, we all loved it! The chef cooks right in front of you, it was so neat. He made a volcano out of an onion and set it on fire! COOL HUH?? He even made it "erupt"! Needless to say that was alot of fun! I had a nice time with my parents, and we got to talk alot about college and the recent things that have been going on including my break-up with my first boyfriend, and the surprising letter I recieved from an old friend. It was nice not to be inturpted every five minutes or so for once.

I recieved a reply today from my old friend. I don't know if he knew it was my birthday or not, but it was a lovely birthday surprise. He told me that he wasn't sure what God was calling him to as a vocation yet, and he doesn't want to get involved with any girl, other then friendship, at the moment until he has a clearer picture of what's in store for his future. He did tell me though that the "barriers" he placed up when tempoary and he hoped our friendship could grow to something more. well fingers crossed!

But in honesty, I'm sort of relieved he's not ready to commit to a relationship at the moment. I need time to get over my fear of being hurt again. I don't want to spoil another relationship by rushing into it, and I don't want to hurt him, or get hurt myself. I know pain is a part of life, but he is a very dear friend and I would hate to lose his friendship because we rushed into something when we weren't ready and we got burned...

So as for now I think we'll just spend the summer getting to know each other better, and we'll see what happens.

All and all I had a wonderful day my family and friends made me feel very special and loved. So thank you everyone!

Good night
