21




It was my birthday yesterday.
Since I am far away from everyone I love, I decided to throw a virtual party for myself.


It was so lovely.


All of my favorite people came.

Her, her, her, her, her, her, her, him, them, them them....
And all of my other friends too.

We ate dinner in the sunshine under the trees,

And had sparkling cupcakes, hot cocoa, and ice cream just the way I like it.

(strawberry shortcake and strawberry ice-cream)

Then we played Scrabble and I won.
(because it was my birthday you guys)
We played croquet.
And I even got my very own pink beach cruiser.


It was the best birthday I have ever had.


Being 20 was magical.

Being 21 will be even better.

I can feel it.

Happy Belated Birthday!

Sounds like a perfect day... and I'm sure you will get to celebrate when you get home again right??

I need some sparklers on cupcakes when my b-day rolls around again.

Anyways, I hope your 21st year is the most magical and fantastical one yet!
