surprise!!

Yesterday was kind of a busy day so I didn't have much time to post anything. I was going to do a weekly recap and then list my likes and dislikes of the week but when I got home last night from my meeting I had for my internship I was surprised by a few friends with a party my older sister planned and set up for my graduation. I was under the impression my mom was only having a few friends over to drink wine and see our new bathrooms so when everyone jumped out and yelled surprise at me I was a little confused. I wasn't really sure why so many people were there so my first response was, "for what?" Later I figured out that it was for my college graduation and then sort of my half birthday (I threw in that reason, I like celebrating my half birthday).

It was so much fun! I saw friends I hadn't seen in a really long time and my friend's band came to play. They sounded so good. It was so nicely decorated and around the backyard were sheets of paper hung up asking questions that people could answer with markers. It was so funny. The question that probably got the most answers was "How many ducks could Caroline beat up in 3 minutes...no water breaks." My favorite response was -10. There was also a mini photo booth set up! I took like two pictures in it.

My sister did such a good job and I am so thankful. She spent the entire night before (I am pretty sure) cutting out paper stars and attaching them to strings to create a garland that was strung out around my backyard. She even hung individual stars from the magnolia tree in the backyard. It was awesome. She is the best.

Also all of my friends are the best for not spilling the secret! My meeting was in Old Town Alexandria and only lasted till 4 so my two friends met me afterwards and spent time with me down there looking through lots of shops stalling so everyone could get the party ready. I had absolutely no idea. If I were one of my friends stalling me in Old Town I would have been going crazy trying to keep it together. They also did a good job.

I hate to say things like this but I am so blessed (blerssed) to have great friends and a great family. I really am. I had such a good time last night. It couldn't have been any better. Ok, I'm done gushing now.

Until tomorrow, maybe I'll post my likes and dislikes then.
