My 18th Birthday

Well, today was a special day indeed. What special day you ask? Why my 18th birthday of course! Let's see I started off the day completely forgetting it was my birthday until my sister said, "Katherine, happy birthday, turn off your alarm!" I found it rather funny. And then I got to my phone and found that Brandon had texted me a Happy Birthday...at 6:30 in the morning, lol. He was the first besides Marissa to wish me a happy birthday. So I took a shower, and finally found something to wear. I love the way every color looks with my new tan (courtesty of Prime Cut's spray tan), but I'm still a bit chubby so it was hard choosing a shirt to wear.

I was a bit late for school, but when aren't I late? But I didn't get a tardy because we had a NHS meeting. It was cool because I was talking to Marissa completely unaware that everyone had started singing to us, lol. It was rather humorous. So I went to Spanish where we finished watching Robin Hood: Men in Tights. That was one funny movie. Then my day continued and it got to lunch, when Marissa and I left school to go to lunch at Broken Rocks, just the two of us. But when we went to the office to sign out we found that there were two vases of flowers in the office, and guess who they were for! One for Marissa and one for myself. And guess who from! Sam Koppert. It's sweet enough to get your girlfriend flowers for her birthday, but to get some for her twin sister too, is just so sweet. I really appreciated it, since I myself have no boyfriend to give me flowers.

Then after lunch we headed back to choir and basically did nothing. That was also nice. Also, another great thing I got at school was a birthday card from my wonderful cousin, Brittany McMullen. It included pictures of Marissa, Britt, and I when we were little and recent ones. The card included a few inside jokes between the three of us, and I wanted to cry. Brittany is just about the best cousin ever! So, after school Marissa and I drove to Mansfield to get our nails done, for prom, and just because. We both got manicures and french tips, on our own nails of course, no fakes. I have never gotten a manicure before, it was cool. Now I can cross it off my list of things to do before I die (Yes, I have a list like that...)

So when we got home our grandparents were here for our little family party. My mom informed me that Seth stopped by, which was so nice of him, and we weren't there so she told him to come back for cake and icecream. So, Sam came over, and we all ate dinner. Then after dinner Seth came back and we had cake and icecream. Jello cake and ice cream! Jello cake is awesome just so you know. Alright, so after we stuffed ourselves(which wasn't a good idea for me considering prom is tomorrow...) we opened cards and presents.

I got a SHeDAISY c.d., I like them. Also I got a $25 gift certificate for the mall since my parents pitched in for Marissa's new digital camera. I think I'll eventually buy one too, but I don't need one just yet. I also got some money from my Aunt and Uncle and Grandma and Grandpa. Then we each got our main present, suitcases. They were the perfect gifts since we're just about to graduate and will be going to college soon. These suitcases are awesome, each one has like 5 suitcases, that all fit into the biggest one, pretty cool. Then my brother, Christian and his girlfriend Kate came and gave us each a very cute sunglass case and sunglasses, very cool.

So after all of this we just hung out a bit, and now here I am, just waiting for someone to get online to talk to. I should probably be working on Trevor's scrapbook or writing senior pictures (considering I'm really running out of time, but don't worry I'll have them done soon). However, I will probably procrastinate and stay up late doing nothing really, even though I should be getting sleep considering prom is tomorrow (night of no sleep whatsoever), my hair appointment is at 9 in the morning, and I have to babysit basically then entire day after prom....I must have been high when I agreed to do that....oh well though. Hopefully I'll have such a good time at prom it won't matter.

Alright, well I'm off. I'll update later on prom and the rest of my weekend. Maybe we'll have some stories to swab. Talk to you all later!

P.S. I can't believe my birthday is almost over...I won't have it again for another year....and then I'll be just finishing up my freshman year of college...wow...
