You are amazing and thank you so much for planning my surprise party. My mom filled me in on all the planning and time you and Jessi put in. I feel so blest to have found such a great friend in you, and if we're not friends at graduation, I'll know something went seriously wrong. If you ever need me, I'm here. I'm sure the look on my face was priceless and thanks for making this birthday my best ever, for sure :)
I'll never forget this birthday and it's all thanks to you and Eileen. I'm sure it was crazy organizing it all behind my back, but I hope you think it all payed off. I know I think it did! Thank you so much for the cake and just making this birthday so fun over all. You got to see my house and my room and my family and my park and it was great! Te amo tu, y we better be friends for a long, long time, because I'm proud?!? to have you for my friend :)
Thank you for the surprise party! And for the malted milk eggs. I know you really love me when you give me candy, because lets face it, what does Laurel love more than sweets? Okay maybe you don't love me more, but just as much? We'll leave it at that. I'm sure the look on my face was priceless when you guys jumped out. I'll never forget it, I know that for sure! Thanks also for Sixteen Candles, we're going to for sure have to watch it together sometime. Wow I didn't catch on at all. 'Do you have it?' 'No' 'Okay well I gotta get going..' Haha well thanks for everything!
Oh you're a tricky one! Keeping me at your house until 4:30 so I wouldn't be at Command Central aka My House until almost right before the party! You even got off early from work for me, now that was special. I'm so glad you could make it to the party, it would not have been the same without you. Now you got to meet some of my new friends. Reuniting for two straight days was definetly a fun time and it helps me to remember all of the fun times we had at St. Lukes. The party reminded me of summer and it was that much better because you were there. Maybe being at different schools made our friendship different, but also it made me appreciate you more! Thank you for always being there (or here?) for me and helping me be the "special" person I am today :)
Note that they said "Trouser snake." Now do you know what that means? It rhymes with machinist, FYI. I apologize for taking your shoes, but at least it forced you to respect my grandfather's wishes. It was great seeing you over break, and for what better occasion than my very own surprise party?! Thank you for the wonderful Sausalito cookies, I've had a few and I must say they are quite (ful)filling. I'm also really looking forward to listening to that Sinatra CD, that'll be a treat. You know me too well! I felt honored to observe your first date. That was special, I must say. Well I'm actually really happy we had so many classes together this year, so we could get to being friends. Oh and I'm honored to have actually gotten a gift, too :) All right, fine. I'm a weepy drunk. I love you man!
'So where exactly in New Berlin do you live?' Wow I didn't catch that one at all! Although I was a bit bewildered and mystified to not know a guest on sight that was at my very own surprise birthday party, it was all right once I knew it was you. It was so fun to finally hang out with you and you got to see my park and know where I live and, my gosh, you even got to sit in my family room. And see my room. That's a treat, I must tell you, not everyone is as privileged as you. I say that you further develop the love/hate relationship you have with New Berlin. Please? Well I see many more buena times in our future, LYLASBNR :)
Need I even mention that it had been way too long since we've hung out? Well not anymore, but that was one good thing about St. Lukes, hanging out with the few super-cool people all the time. It was such a treat to see you and just that we got to talk and finally hang out for the first time in what felt like forever! I cannot believe you have your temps already. We will definetly go driving around sometime when you have your license! I'm so happy we got to be close friends during the summer and since. Everybody else can say you're shy, but I can be too and I know what a cool person you are inside. Thank you so much for coming and making the party even more special. And thanks for the CDs, I can't wait to finally listen to them! Room en Fuego & Coldplay, what could be better? We'll have to hook up a portable CD player and play them when we drive around in your ancient van on our joy ride come license time. I'm expecting you at my LOTR weekend! Marquette, schmarquette, Memorial, shmemorial- I hope we're friends for a long time :)
As you may have read above, I was a bit bewildered to see someone I did not know by face in my kitchen for the surprise. But it was amazing, regardless, to discover someone so cool lived so close by. It's always astounding to discover that kind of stuff. I'm so glad you could come by, and it was more fun because of you. Hopefully we'll get to hang out more, too. Thanks for the awesome card, too ;)
