July 28, 2004- Today I turned 15 officially. It didn't feel much different because I have been telling everyone I am 15 since April. The other day my best friend came over with her sister and her sister's friend. She brought over some homemade puppy chow- it's a dessert, it was really good even though they ate most of it (LOL, I didn't mind). They made me cards and put candy inside for me. It was really nice of them to remember. Today I awoke with the sound of my door bell ringing repeatedly at 7:30am. It was my neighbors. They brought me presents, a balloon, and cake. We put candles on the cake (which they baked themselves) and lit them. It took forever to light the candles and we came close to burning ourselves. LOL. When I blew them out, wax was all over the cake, hehe it was all good though. The cake was yummy. I got to open presents after that. One of my neighbors gave me the Ashlee Simpson CD and the other gave me a brand new football and tee. It was so awesome. Later that morning, around 11:30am, my neighbors and I went to a special movie presentation they had at the theater. On certain mornings, the theater played movies for the little kids that weren't exactly new. We saw Cat in the Hat. It was my first time seeing it and I enjoyed the movie a lot. After that, I went to the theater and saw A Cinderella Story with my other friend. It was a lot of fun. When my parents got home, we went to the Olive Garden, one of my favorite restaurants. The wait wasn't too long and the food was great. When the waitress brought an extra mint my brother said to give it to me since it was my birthday. The waitress is like "It's your birthday?" even though I said no (as a joke) she said that they had to come and sing for me. 5 minutes later about 10 waiters/waitresses were by our table singing Happy Birthday really loudly. It was a little embarrassing, but it was fun and memorable all the same. When I was home and checked my e-mail, I got 6 e-mails saying Happy Birthday; it was very nice and thoughtful of everyone. Thank you to everyone that made my birthday so memorable and special.
