Emily's Birthday

Today and yesterday I had Emily’s birthday all planned out! Yesterday I had the plan to invite all her friends and have cake. I went and ordered a cake so it’d be personalized of course. In the beginning of the week is when I started to tell everyone, and I tried to invite everyone that knew her. I wanted it to be special for her, and I wanted her to remember it. Yesterday came along, and I called her telling her not to go anywhere for the next half hour so she’d be in her room when I had to go get her. There was quite a few people that showed up, and when most people were there, I went to go get her. I went and go here while everybody else hid to surprise her. I yelled when we were coming, and everybody popped out and yelled happy birthday. I could just tell that she was really excited and happy to see that so many people cared about her. We had the cake, and she hugged everybody and left. It was an awesome feeling knowing I made someone’s day. I’ve always been optimistic, and I’ve always had the saying that every day is a happy day. Knowing that I made her day was a good feeling. Today it was her actual birthday, and we had a plan to give her the gifts that we all got her. Just last week she told me not to get her anything and if I did she’d be mad. Well, we didn’t really listen to her. Last night we decorated her door at one in the morning, and she woke up to that surprise. After our chemistry exam, we went to lunch. As we were all leaving the Mensa, she said her goodbye’s since she was going home for the weekend. The three of us all knew that we’d see her again before she left. I went to the bookstore and got her something small, and then I went back to my room to wrap everything. Sarah and Kellie met me there, and we all walked to her room together. We got there with a piece of cake and her gifts. She was upset at us for getting her something, but at the same time she was happy. I think she hugged us all like five times in the matter of 6 minutes; it was awesome! I thought she was going to cry she was so excited. It’s always a good feeling knowing you mean so much to someone. She told us that she doesn’t know what she’d do without us and that we all mean a lot to her. We’re special to her; she knows that we’re here for her. I know we made an impact in her day which makes me feel good inside. I know I made her birthday at lease a little better. What would someone do for me on my birthday? It’s a good question, but now she knows. She knows that she means a lot to us since we went out of our way to make her day special.
