I'm Old

Today is my birthday and I turned 20. That's the end of that :)

Today was also part two of Claire's Hen Party and it was so much fun!

My first job of the day was to collect balloons for the dinner table so I went to the local party shop and chose pink and silver balloons as well as an L plate balloon to tie to Claire's chair. Apparently I'm incapable of carrying eight balloons ten metres to my car and somehow managed to burst one on the way!

When I got home I got a quick visit from my sister and her family so they could give me my birthday card and a gift. It was really nice to see her because I haven't seen her since we met for the first time a few weeks ago (I'll explain that one another time!) The gifts they got me are just what I love! They got me a beautiful smelling candle with a little porcelain lampshade which sits on top of the candle to make it look like a little lamp! It's sooo cute! They also gave me a really beautiful bracelet which has two rows of black beads which are joined with a big black heart! It's really lovely :)

After they left I had a bath and got ready for going out for dinner. We got t-shirts made for everyone which said "Hen Party" with little stones. They looked great on everyone! I travelled to the cute Italian restaurant with my friend Ali and met my friend Emma outside. We went upstairs and decorated the table with the balloons and with table confetti. Emma also brought pictures of Claire when she was younger as well as a beautiful cake which we place in the centre of the table :) Claire loved it all and dinner was amazing.

After dinner we headed to the cinema to see "The Time Traveller's Wife" which was really confusing. My friends, Ali and Laura, and I sat discussing what was happening the whole way through cause we didn't really understand why the guy time travelled and why he was stuck in the year that he was and also why he could come back when he was dead or travel past the date of his own life. Who knows? It was a good movie if you don't think too much about the plot... ooh and I love Rachel McAdams. I think she's a great actress :)
