Last friday was my birthday. I turned 18 finaly! :D I want to thank all of yall for your kind words! Its friends like you that make my birthday so amazing! ^ ^ thanks amillion!
The story is my mom called me on the phone after my parents and our crazy yet loving naibor left somewhere. My mom called and said "get ready, ill be there to get you in 2 minutes". goodlord this better be good 0_o. So i put on my jeans and got one boot on when she pulled into our carport and blew the horn. I was hoping out with my second boot in hand and jumped into the passenger seat. I put my boot on and asked her what was up. She says there was this new store they didnt know about near my school so my mind imagens, i think its a hardwear store and they found a cast steel anvil iv wanted and other ideas wrole threw my mind. We get a about a mile and she says to close my eyes and no peeking. I close them and put a hand over them and after 3 minutes she starts saying, "you better not be peeking, i means it Brett no peeking, Youl ruin it if you peek." Now im laughing my ass off because of her accusing me of peeking so she places a hand over my hand covering my eyes. So now she shoving my pawn into my eyes.
finally the van stops and she says open your eyes. I open them and i see a white blur, that blue lightens abit and i see a parking lot. I look around the parking lot and its at my school. confused and vision yet to be full again.She says look to your right, i turn and see my dad and our naibor standing there waving next to the school rock. My face lights up and I get out. What I see made me speechless. The painted the whole face of the rock in JOHN DEERE GREEN! and in John deere yellow that painted, "Happy B'day, 18 Brett" and off the the bottom right they put FFA. I gave them all hugs and i couldnt think of what to say other then i was so happy. I got some pics taken and stuff. idk if ill post them here.
but that was friday and nothing else happend then but today was amazing!!
I worked hard cleaning up the rest of our fallen tree and blew off our pateo and carports for the people to sit under incase it rained. When everything was cleaned and ready for people to show up I took a shower and got on some fresh clothes, grabbed a mountdew throwback and plopped onto the couch to watch man vs wild. My cousin was first to arrive with his new girlfriend, who is pretty nice. :) and before long people started flooding in and i began to be more social with people. After a while of talking and everything we got some food and we went outside to eat on the patio. well me and my naibors did and Richies wife and his sun. (Richie was my cousin killed on a motorcycle wreck). We chatted about college and everything which led to talking about weirdos in california, idk how it got that way. A short time later everyone inside so like half my moms side of the family walked onto the patio.
Richies birthday was the same day as mine so to honor him we had alittle thing for him in his memory. We filled up i think was 24 balloons. I held them all and i said a few words. "Richie, we love ya and we miss ya and we know your in a better place, these are for you, CATCH!", and i released them into the clowds. MY aunt and my mom hugged me and we went back to being social. Before we could clear the patio we heard a loud bang. My aunt being a paramedic went running to the top of our street. Her son Rusty who is X-marine and brother of Richie went ranning after her to help and I wanting to be useful went with them. Turns out a tire exploded on car as it drove by and was now in a drive way so it was no big deal. Cops were there before we were cause they patroled our street a few seconds earlier.
To play around i got a few smoke bombs left over from the 4th and lit a few of those. My mom called us in for presents just then and the cake was so cool! My naibor took pics of me blacksmithing and put them on the cake! :D sweeeeeet! so i blew out the candles and opened a stack of cards but it wasnt over yet. I was sat down in the middle of the kitchen and was facing where the hall ends waiting for my parents to turn the corner. My dad was videoing and my mom brings in a long box. I was happy to see it of course but when i got it, it was light as a feather. I open it and it was empty. Everyone starts making comments like "thats crewl" and stuff and my first thought was, "My parents are jerks". Then mom tells my dad to come in. I look up and he turns the corner holding a Mossberg 590A1. I have been talking about getting one for a few months now but i didnt see this coming at all.
. He gives it to me and i cover my mouth with my free hand. I began to get light headed and cry. I thought i was going to faint for sure. My mom hugged me and stuff and wow I cant remember what happend after that. Mustve been in shock or something. This was without a dought the best birthday iv ever had.
