Well, it’s official: no longer is a child writing this blog. ‘Cause guess what?! I’M A TEENAGER!
Yesterday was my thirteenth birthday (and the thirteenth anniversary of 9/11) and all day long I kept thinking, “OMG I’M A TEENAGER NOW!” I’ve always felt older than I actually am (don’t think of me as the kind of kid who purposefully tries to act like they’re older than they are), but I’m officially a teenager now. You’re only a teen for seven years, after all, and I’ll only be a “kid” for six more, so I’m determined to make the best of it, that’s why I asked for a great party Soft Play Design and Installation included so I can play with all my friends.
Lucky for me *sarcasm, ha!* my birthday landed on a Thursday this year, which is the day out of the week my mom, my sister, and I head to our home-school “co-op” from 9 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon – which I should not be complaining about, because just in May I was in public school from 9 in the morning to 4, sometimes 5:30 at night! Look at me, already spoiled by the very relaxing home-school schedule! 😉
So yesterday I brought cupcakes to my fellow home-schoolers and then last night my family and I headed to the heaven that is the restaurant Longhorn (my favorite restaurant!), and then to (guess!) Barnes & Noble.
I got a book I’ve been meaning to read for ages – you may have heard of it? 😉 – Code Name Verity. It’s a historical fiction that I’ve heard SO many awesome things about (including one from a good friend of mine), and JUST READ THE BLURB:
Oct. 11th, 1943-A British spy plane crashes in Nazi-occupied France. Its pilot and passenger are best friends. One of the girls has a chance at survival. Arrested by the Gestapo, “Verity” is given a choice: reveal her mission or face a grisly execution. They’ll get the truth out of her. Only, it won’t be what they expect.
How AWESOME does that sound?! I haven’t even begun it yet, but I’m uber-excited to.
I’m going to sign off here, so I can go stress-fully try to organize my book shelf, because it’s been bugging me. (THERE SIMPLY ISN’T ENOUGH ROOM!). Logging on to Spotify now so I can crack up the music and turn my room upside down with all the darn BOOKS I OWN! I KID, okay?! Really! ;P
Happy, happy birthday! 13 is such an exciting age 😀

Happy birthday, Emily – it’s great to hear you had a nice day! 🙂 I’ve heard wonderful things about Code Name Verity… I can’t wait to hear what you think about it. Oh, and fun fact: our birthdays are 13 (!) days apart, apparently… 😀
