It's Always A Great Day For A Birthday

As we get older, birthdays aren't as special anymore, but this year my family and friend made it a memorable one.

Today I celebrated my nineteenth birthday with some of the greatest people I have in my life. I am so blessed to have so many people that I know will make my day special for me. Through thick and thin I know that they will always be by my side. Here are all my favorite things I got to do for my birthday!

It is always great when you get what you asked for.

For my birthday from my boyfriend I was given a (much needed) new pillow, a home-made strawberry candle, home-made wax cube melts, and beautiful jewellery. Lets just say that I am pretty excited about my new pillow... I feel like I am getting old! I also was given a beautiful necklace and matching earrings from my boyfriends parents along with the Alice and Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass eyeshadow pallet from my sister. I am absolutely so excited to try it out! From my mom I was given a huge makeup box to keep my huge collection of makeup and from one of my best friends I was given a travel makeup bag and a whole bunch of new makeup and perfume! From my other best friend she painted me a beautiful painting of us under a purple willow tree. Also all of the cards that I have gotten from my family. It all means so much to me.



All the sweet and loving words from family and friends.

All day today my phone has been blowing up with so many notifications from my family and friends wishing me a happy birthday, sending their loving, wishing me a great day and an even better year to come. A majority of all of my birthday wishes came from my friends and family on Facebook. All my other birthday wishes came through loving texts and calls to sing me happy birthday! I beyond grateful for all of my loving family and friends.

Getting to do whatever I want!!!!

Today for my birthday I chose to have lunch at Chilli's with my amazing mom, sister, niece, boyfriend and my best friend (and the mother of my future goddaughter.) After we went to Chilli's my boyfriend and I took my four year old niece to Build-a-Bear since her birthday is seven days away from mine. All three of us made our own stuffed animal. My niece made a Peppa Pig, my boyfriend made a Superman Bear and I made a Donut Bear. We got to stuff them and make a wish and give them a heart. Then we named them then the next step was to print out a birth certificate (which means all of our animals have my birthday.) My bears name is Pixie, my boyfriend bear is named Smokey and my nieces pig was named Pinkie Pie. Then we all came home and sang happy birthday! This has been such a great birthday. I would not have wanted it any other way.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
