Eighteen

This weekend, I celebrated my eighteenth birthday! I have been waiting to turn eighteen since, I realized that so many of the projects I want to start require me to be this age. I wanted to publish my book without the help of my parents, be a member of the business I co-started with my father, manage financial accounts, monetize my work, and attend blogging/business conferences I could not before! I have a lot I want to do, and well now nothing can stop me!

The small birthday gathering I had was oodles (yes, oodles) of fun and I was glad to have my friends and my sisters all the in the same room talking, laughing, and taking pictures. It was great!

Of course, this blog post would not be complete without a photo of my Dad and sisters alone. They managed to put this get together for me and deal with me without getting too frustrated and I appreciate it so much! I love them all very much!

How awesome are my friends?!

Beyond that, on a personal note...somehow I feel that I have been eighteen for quite a while now. Just now I have an official ID to match. Is it just me or did age really become just a number?

My Birthday Weekend!

My birthday weekend was great! Of course, it was about two weeks ago, but due to my procrastinated ways, I am posting about it now. (If you're a new reader, you will get used to my procrastination and learn how I am trying to cope with it).

My best friend celebrated my birthday with my on Friday at a really nice diner. I had a great time and at the end, I got to make a wish after being sang Happy Birthday to by our waiter. It was really sweet. I have the most amazing best friend ever!

This was my outfit for the dinner. I usually don't post my outfits on my blog, but I found this cool iPhone app called "Go Try It On" and couldn't resist posting a couple of outfits or two! Plus, my birthday weekend outfits are the perfect first outfit posts through the app and on my blog! If you download the app, be sure to look for my name!

Mini-Jacket/Sweater: Style & Co

Tank Top: Old Navy

Skinny Jeans: Forever 21

On Saturday, my Family and I celebrated my Birthday by going bowling! We played a nice game and were able to enjoy it, even though we all tried to let my little sister win. I'm not good at sports anyway and that includes bowling! It was great! This is the outfit I wore on day two!

After all of that, I came home to a wonderful surprise my Family planned. We took lots of pictures, had pizza (my favorite), enjoyed lots of cake that lasted for at least a week after, and ended the great day!

Then, it was Sunday (my actual birthday) everyone went back to their normal schedules and I had lots of work to get done and my birthday weekend came to an end. Until next year, of course!

Today is my Birthday!

         Every year for my birthday, it's more or less the same thing. I go out, I do something small. I come home, take pictures, have my little sister act nice to me all day because "this day only comes around once a year and tomorrow she's gonna torture me twice as more", I cry at some point, I feel undeserving at best, I wish I could have done something better, I look back at the year I've had, I think about all the mistakes I've made, but at the end of the day...I remember what's important. The people who I love the most and the people that have made me who I am today. Everyone wants their birthday to be made special. So, despite my mistakes and everything that has happened between last year and this year, I want them to know, I love you all, very very very much! ♥

Just thought, I'd get in a blog post before my birthday ends. 

xoxo,
