Today was without a doubt in my mind the best birthday I have ever had. I've never felt so loved, appreciated, and important to all these people around me. I am so grateful for all the things they have done for me over the year and I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart for everything they have done for me. Days like these really show who really cares about you, and it really showed today.
The day for me technically started at midnight. The first text I received was from Eryne, followed by Jaclyn, then Kaci, Morgan, Carissa, Tommy, Johnny K, and Catie. All of these texts meant the absolute world to me. I am a person who understands that sleep is one of the most important things for a teenagers. Someone who may have given up their sleep strictly to wish me a happy birthday the minute the clock strikes 12 is someone who is forever special in my heart. Along with everyone giving up their sleep, the content of the texts brought me to tears of joy. Eryne's was the first I read the whole night. I was already flowing after 1 text. I truly love her to death and she means the world to me. The fact she was the first person to wish me a happy birthday and my entrance into adulthood means a lot. Morgan's Jaclyn's and Kaci's were next. After reading 4 birthday texts, I was a complete mess. I could hardly read my screen! These girls are my best friends. I've known them all forever and they will forever hold a special place in my heart. They are my sisters. The best friends imaginable and I am so blessed to have them in my life as well.
The day then started off just amazingly when I entered school. I was greeted with happy birthdays from nearly everyone I passed and I couldn't help but wear this stupid huge smile on my face. I couldn't help it. I was so happy. I was greeted by Morgan and Jaclyn with birthday hugs and I just knew my day was going to be amazing. Mara then came and did the exact same thing. Just all these people are the best. They know exactly what to do to get me in a great mood. Eryne was running late but got to the locker just in time for me to see her before the first period of the day. I finally got my birthday kiss.:)
I usually dread going into English because I hate the senior project, but everyone there wished me a happy birthday, so I guess the class was a success. I didn't want to kill myself staring at a computer today. It was the best start to school in a while. The day continued with more wishes, smiles, and hugs. I was practically on cloud 9 from the attention I was given today. Not to sound a little greedy or diva-ish, but I really like attention. I'm not hungry for it, but I really enjoyed being noticed. It's something that kinda gets me through the day if I can make a group of kids laugh or smile. It's a great feeling.
After first period I arrived at my locker with a big sign and an even bigger balloon on my locker from Kaci. She then proceeded to run out of Ferk's room with a big cookie cake saying "Happy Birthday Levi." I almost cried right there. Like I said, I was very very happy today.
5th and 6th period were easily my favorite two periods of the day. 2 German classes sang happy birthday to me and Frau continually cracked jokes about adulthood. Needless to say, her jokes made being an adult sound a little overrated. I'm not too worried though. I'll always be a kid. In the German 3 class I sit in with, we also started watching Swing Kids. It is one of my favorite movies we've ever watching in my German career, and I'm looking forward to watching it for the next few days. In German 4, we practically did nothing but talk and it was a nice relaxing period. The highlight of the class was seeing John Kaltenecker in class. I haven't seen that kid in a while and he gave me a big birthday hug. He will be receiving the shout out tonight for many reasons.
The rest of school and track cruised by. So it brings me to the short amount of time I got to spend with Eryne. She had softball at 7 so I only had about and hour and a half to hang with her, but it was definitely an amazing time. She got me a gift that I'll be wearing at school tomorrow and it is probably the best shirt I have ever received. She knows me way too well and knows the perfect gift to get me. I truly love it.
This brings me to where I am now. I've kinda just been hanging around so it's time for John's shout out...
It feels like I have known John Kaltenecker forever now. We started off as enemies on the baseball diamond during the Oakdale youth league. His dad had a team, but I was on Brett Rackie's team. We later became teammates on the all star team later that year. That is where our friendship started. I always like the kid, but never really got to know him until about last year. With the mutual friends we had, John and I started to hang out a lot. We became pretty damn close friends and he is a great dude. He will always have my back, and I'll always have his. There is another big thing I have to give him a ton of credit for. He is one of or possibly the biggest blog reader I have. He always gives me a nice text after a post saying how he loved it and how I should keep going. Johnny K is a person who represents exactly why I blog. He is someone who definitely supports me for this and I love him for that. He is like another brother of mine. I love him like family
Thank everyone for reading this and thank everyone for making my birthday so special. I don't know how any future birthdays could top one like today. I love you all and goodnight!!
