Since my birthday is on Saturday, I thought that for todays walk down memory lane I would share with you my favorite birthday. The year was 2000, and I was turning sixteen. Awe sweet sixteen, lots of people I am sure would choose this as a favorite year because of nice elaborte parites or the car they recieved from their parents. This is my favorite birthday for a different reason.
Let me start by saying that my mom is an amazingly fun mother, who always wanted my sister and I to have the best that she could give. So for my sixteenth birthday she agreed to take me and my best friends Chelsea, Jessica, and Katrina to Myrtle Beach for the weekend. My mom allowed us to stay in our own hotel room (she and my aunt were next door); we went to dinner at Dick's Last Resort, we walked down the strip in tight pants and sequinned tops, we went to the Ripley's Haunted Mansion, and stayed up all night talking about boys.
We all had a blast, but the reason this birthday has become so special to me is because it gave me wonderful memories to look back on with one of my best friends, Chelsea, who passed away at the age of 21. When I think of Chelsea, I have many fun memories of times we shared, but I always think of our first "grown up" weekend in Myrtle Beach.
What a sweet 16 party. How fun. I am so sorry to hear about your friend passing away so young. So glad you have so many good memories of her though. Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteSounds like it was a fun time. How sad that she lost her life at just 21. =0(
