Happy Birthday

Well, it has been quite a long time since the last post and I'm very sorry for that.
Anyhow, on Tuesday, the 27th, it was my birthday! I turned 16 and I feel like it as well. I don't feel extremely different or anything, just a little older I guess. I'm still trying to figure out if that's a good thing or not.
I had a great day at school and Ventana and My surprised me with a vegan pumpkin pie and a cranberry orange bunt cake! We decided to have some of the pie at school, it was really yummy! I had all the usual classes, Main Lesson, which is Physiology, German, English, Orchestra, Math, and Golf. After school I went out to Beverly Hills so I could visit my favorite store and have dinner at a restaurant I adore. I went with mom, Greg and grandma Martha. I have loved Anthropologie for a couple of years now. It seems as though every time I go in there, I see tons of things that I love. I found a green blouse shirt, a pair of cute stockings and a little sweater that feels Swedish or German. I wish I could have bought everything in the store!
We next went to Il Fornaio, which is my favorite restaurant. I always get this amazing chicken, broccoli, pasta dish which I could eat all day long! It was just as yummy as always. Then it was time for my favorite desert, whose name always escapes me. It is a fruit cup like dish, with sherbet and berries and cream. Yummmmm. It is fantastic! By the end of the meal, I was so stuffed I could hardly budge. When I got home, my dad arrived with a very special gift. A Kitchen Aid! I've been wanting one ever since I was little and now I have one! I'm so excited to be able to whip my whipped cream in a minute rather then five. I can't wait to start cooking and I think I'll start this weekend.
Anyhow, I had a wonderful day and I am so thankful for all the wonderful gifts! Thank you all very much!
