So this past Saturday, September 8th to be exact, was my 14th birthday!!! Oh my gosh I feel so old! But anyways, my mom is in LOVE with Bruce Springsteen, so she had to go to his concert. There was one on Saturday, my birthday, and one on Friday, and being the loving mother that she is she went to the concert on Friday, as to not interfere with my one and only birthday. On Friday I went to the Maine South game and what a blast I had! I always love going to the MS football games because I always have so much fun. Now that my friend's brother is on the varsity team, I will be accompanying her to every home and away game (he's number 55, if any of you see him shout, "GO GREG!!!"). I woke up on the morning of my birthday and I walked downstairs. My mom greeted me with a big hug and a, "Happy birthday!" The next sentence she shrieked, "I TOUCHED BRUCE!!" Apparently my mom, dad, and their friends had very good seats to the concert, which was on Wrigley Field. Bruce ran right by them and stretched out his hand. My mom was still in shock and couldn't pretend any longer that my birthday was more important. My mom and dad gave a brand new CHI flat iron, my brother got me another Vera Bradley tote type bad with a luggage tag in the pattern Twirly Birds Pink, and my grandma got me a locket and a new pair of UGGs. I also got a new North Face, and I think my aunt got me some Costco "fuggs" but I'm not sure. So my dad set up an entire volleyball court in my driveway and my neighbors came over to play. There was some pretty intense competition, mostly because my dad is the most competitive person I've ever met, but it was a lot of fun. Then I headed to whirly ball which is this crazy fun game where everyone is in bumper cars, but they have a lacrosse type stick and you are on teams. You fight for the ball and try to score on a basketball backboard with a little hole in the middle. It really is a blast and the hour that we were there went by like that. After numerous ping-pong, darts and basketball wars I settled down to watch the movie "Act Like a Woman Think Like a Man." It was hilarious!! Oh my gosh Kevin Hart is so funny, I don't think it's possible not to laugh at him. Overall I had a great birthday, one of my best. I can't wait until the next one!!
