Even though my birthday was yesterday, my party was a week ago. I did this because a lot of my friends take off to go home to faraway countries or to the States right after school ends and I wanted them to be at my party. It took a bit of planning and we didn't know how smoothly it would go because some people weren't sure if they could come or how long they could stay but we went for it and expected the unexpected.

    It was a blast and almost all of the girls came! We had a great time talking, eating, doing activities, taking pictures and then after some girls left the rest of us got kinda silly. We danced to the songs that the girls picked out for me (I asked for that instead of presents) and laughed at each other's silly moves. It was really nice to create some final fun memories with my closest friends. I am so thankful for the impact that each one has had on my life and it was really hard to say goodbye. It is such a comfort to know that I will see most of them for my senior year and if not then, someday in Heaven. It is my prayer that they all saw Christ in me and that my actions and words pointed them to the cross and the Savior on it.

Here are some pictures:

All the girls who came! I am so glad they did.

Great birthday!!
