You know that feeling where you laugh so hard it feels like your about to throw up? Well that’s basically what all of last night felt like… in the best way possible. It was Julia’s Sweet Sixteen birthday party, we all rode it white limos to Waters Edge in Westbrook, a very prestigious country club might I add. The room was absolutely beautiful, we were just on the edge of the ocean, we could even see it from the balcony of our room in the morning. Anyways, when we arrived we went into the lobby and saw a sign that an Elvis impersonator was going to be there and I guess Julia loves Elvis so that’s when she found out her surprise. After we put all our stuff down in the room and took just short of a million pictures we went back to the main building for dinner in the ballroom, which is where we would see Elvis as well. I really didn’t think in my lifetime that I would see an impersonator of anyone, let alone Elvis. I mean maybe if I was really drunk in Vegas or something… but I still highly doubt it. After dinner and Elvis we really didn’t want to go back to the hotel because we were told we were going to “dance the night away, ” and we really fucking wanted to dance. So as we were walking we saw this bar Illy and heard live music so of course we investigated and what do ya know there was a perfectly sized dance floor for all 10 of us. It was live music as well, the singer/guitarist was so amazing it made me fall in love with him it’s crazy how someone’s voice can do that to you. They played throwbacks all night it was really great, we were truly the life of the party. As the night went on we noticed a few boys who kept watching us and running by the dance floor so of course we invited them over, the more the merrier right? Dancing with the one boy was great, he had some very…. interesting … unique dance moves. As we were dancing we looked over at the window and saw his other friends peeking through looking quite jealous and I guess proud of their friend. Maybe an hour or so later his other friends came over to join us. Soon the adults started coming over and oh man did it quickly turn into a “should you be this close to me?” party. At times it felt quite awkward and uncomfortable with the adults, they quickly brushed to the side the fact that we were only 16 and used the size of the dance floor as an excuse for why they were that close to us. A bit later when push came to shove, literally, we had to get off the dance floor and take a break because old Scott couldn’t hold his liquor and spilled it all over the dance floor along with his glass. Poor Scott we didn’t even see him at breakfast this morning… he’s probably just getting up now. After we took a short bathroom break to take a few more pics and freshen up we quickly retuned to the bar. Julia’s mom was giving us quite a hard time because she was tired and wanted to go back to the room, however, us being girls who never got this opportunity to have this much fun managed to convince his for 2 more songs… which really meant like 10. The band continued to play fabulous music and even promised to play at our weddings when we got older. As we were leaving we of course said goodbye to Scott and the rest of the people at the bar because Lord knows they’ve never had this much fun with “a bunch of kids.” Leaving the main building felt like the end of the night but it was truly just the tip of the iceberg. When we got back to the room we changed into our pjs and opened gifts. I have to say I truly think my present was the best, yes the fur vests were quite exquisite, but I mean nothing beats a home made card with Harry Styles and Evan Peters on it, the movie Endless love, a Vera Bradley set, her favorite candy, a ring with a J and a diamond on it (fake one of course), and a Christmas mug. I mean if I got that gift from one person, that would just make my night. My card also almost made her cry might I add. After opening gifts we watched Endless Love, and ate candy pounds upon pounds of candy. We then did the usual sleepover stuff like talking about the latest drama and and never have I ever because as girls we need to know all your secrets to make us feel like we truly know you. Looking at the clock we then realized it was 3 in the morning and the sun was going to rise in about 4 hours and we had to get it up in 5 hours so we should probably call it a night, that however, was a complete fail. We then decided we should do a challenge like the Youtubers do so we picked the whisper challenge. That game might possibly be the hardest but most fun challenge ever. This is also where the laughing so hard I feel like I’m gonna puke part comes in. All in all it was just a great night and we finally went to bed somewhere around 5 or 5:30. We then woke up in what felt like a matter of 10 minutes and honestly I felt worse waking up then just not sleeping at all. This is the part of sleepovers that I dread the most. It always makes me really depressed when we have to get up and put all of our stuff away and actually clean up the mess we made the night before. However, this wasn’t so bad, we got all our stuff together and a guy came on a golf cart and took it to the main lobby. We then walked to the main building to get some hot chocolate and find a breakfast place because we were not going to pay 30 bucks per person just for a breakfast buffet. After being informed upon all the local hot spots we decided on a place called Christy’s. When we got there it was so packed we didn’t think we would be seated to we were just going to get it to go but then we just ended up staying. I got chocolate pancakes and bacon of course, it was actually really good and the size of the pancake was just enough for one hungry person. We got picked up from the diner in a big white van and no it was not a “rape van” it had windows…. it might as well have been one of those “carrying school children” van. We all got dropped off at our house. Now I’m here procrastinating studying for this history test. I can’t believe this entry was a page and a half, I honestly did not think it was going to be this long. I love life. I love connecting with people and becoming friends with people. It’s truly one of the beauties of life. I feel so blessed to have all these wonderful opportunities to connect with people and share laughs and secrets. *Deep breaths* I’m happy.
