Last week I turned 16. I decided to do my party in something rather than July 4th celebration. So I did a garden party. We had it outside for a few minutes until we got rained out so we moved it inside. Mama said that my party was a lot of hard work because of the planning and cost of everything. But it was succesful.

I invited my family and my youth director, other youth workers from my church and my good friend Addy. For food we did pigs in a blanket, fruit/veggie trays, chips, kool-aid, tea, and lemonade. We bought a glass pitcher and sliced lemons, then put the sliced lemons and lemonade in the pitcher.

For my cake this year we did something a little different. Mama still made the cake but we put fondant on the cake. We made the flowers out of colored fondant, also. Ok. Maybe we did use a little icing for the cake but that was so that the fondant would stay on the cake. Everybody says that fondat doesn't really have a flavor to it. But I think it tastes great.

I opened my presents. I got:

A ton of cards, a few journals (guess I'll have to write a lot more), a new bike with gears (not used to the gears yet), flowery tote bags (one small one big), DDR (Dance, Dance, Revolution), an extra DDR dance mat, butterfly stickers, and other goodies. 

Woo. All that typing - my hands and fingers hurt.

Mama asked me what if I going to do college or be a stay-at-home mom. I told her I am not really sure. A part of me wants to go to college but the other half wants to be a stay-at-home mom. I might buy an herbalist college computer program for home. But I am going into 10th grade right now.

I follow the Lord's path to when I grow up.
