My Sixteenth birthday was a good memory.
I started the day with an early wake up. I had choir rehearsal before school even started. I was NOT happy about that. I wanted more rest! As i walked outside to get in the car i noticed that two posters of "happy sixteenth birthday!" was on my garage and in the yard. Then, we went to get some donuts. This made me ten minutes late to practice, but hey, its my birthday! i want donuts! My teacher got mad, but i didn't care.
Around lunch time my mom took me out to eat. We ate at Fridays. It was yummy! We then went to the mall and got "drivers ed in a box". I will soon be posting a blog of that. Then i returned to school and went to math. I didn't tell many people it was my birthday. But in math i told my friend how happy i was that i was finally sixteen. The class clown of our class heard and in the middle of our teachers lesson starts singing happy birthday. The class joins in and I'm sinking in my seat blushing.
After school i went home, because i had birthday plans. ( Because i didn't cancel my b-day plans and go to the second debate meeting of the week, so i got in trouble by my debate teacher. Apparently she didn't care what day it was.) It was raining all day. My family and I went to Texas Roadhouse that night. I LOVE that place. We brought my neighbor and best friend Michael. My dad told our waiter that it was my birthday, and my sister joked that i was turning 21. Ha, ya right. We thought nothing of it and had a great dinner with lots of laughs.
Then, the whole staff of Texas Roadhouse came clapping down the aisle with a sattle on a Roley stand. The made me get on and wave a napkin in the air as they sung happy birthday. Then they announced to the restaurant "hey everybody! this is Candice and shes 21 today!" We all started cracking up.
When we went home we ate an ice cream birthday cake.
A couple days after my birthday i went to a traditional birthday shopping spree with my Grandma, Memaw. I was soo much fun! We pigged out at El Fenix and then went to the mall where i bought two pink shirts, a white Lacy spaghetti strap, and a blue/green shirt with matching earrings. Before we left she gave me a cute goldish purse with Victoria secret "pink" perfume and lotion. I'm now addicted to that stuff and wear it everyday. We has such a good time and engaged in deep memorable conversation that i will remember for the rest of my life! I love you Memaw!
What a great sweet sixteen.

Wow! You had a 16th birthday to remember! I still remember mine with fondness too. It's obvious that your whole family loves you, including Memaw!
Happy birthday, again, candy girl. I still remember my sweet 16. I was recovering from Mono, I didn't get it the fun way, and I couldn't even ride on the ski boat at my "ski at the lake" birthday party. Your spleen is very vulnerable after you have mono and the jostling around could have made it explode and I could have bled to death. Now that would have been a birthday to remember.
On my sixteenth, I had my friend Natalie over after school and she went with me to get my driver's license. Then we, Pa, and Memaw met you and your parents at Chili's for dinner--did you know you spent MY sweet sixteen with ME? You were almost 1 year old. I do feel old now after relaying that story. :(
So happy you had a memorable one! So have you been kissed...?
What a great way to celebrate! Happy 16th!
My friend Sherry Graham gave me a surprise birthday party on my 16th birthday. I'm still in contact with her.
