Birthday!!!

So yesterday was my 16th birthday. During the school day, I was okay. My day hadn't been great, but it hadn't been terrible either. It was just another day. Well, other than some of my more obnoxious friends yelling "Happy birthday!!!" at me as I sprinted to class. But what I really loved about yesterday had nothing to do with school. Yesterday, I worked my church's rummage sale because my birthday party is tonight, and I had to work one of the two days. I didn't really want to work on my birthday, but I did. I can't tell you how glad I am that I did.
Yesterday while I was working, I had so much fun. I realized how much I really love these people in my church. They are fun and sweet and just good to be around. They are such a good influence on me, and I appreciate them for it. They are encouraging and they help me when I need it. They give me good advice and they're fun to talk to. And another thing. I talk about my youth group a lot, but it's not all youth. I consider our Sunday School teachers, our Wednesday night leaders, even just some of the women in our church, and our Missions Pastor to be part of our youth group too. And of course our Youth Pastor Tamara. All of these people make up my youth group/second family. And I know I got really off the topic here, but I just love all of these people so much, and they are what made my day yesterday fantastic. So, thanks guys! I love you all!
