Capto Veritam: Funness...

So...Wednesday we go to New Jersey! I'm really excited--really, we all are. It's going to be awesome. It's supposed to be rainy for the first week, I think so we got some umbrellas for the trip. I really like mine--it's black with rainbow [lots of different colored] polka-dots. I think it's so cool! My parents almost got me a fadora [a kind of hat] but they decided to have me choose between getting the umbrella or the hat and...well, like I said I got the umbrella so I guess you know which one I chose. Anyways...

The rest of this post is about a surprise birthday party that I took part in yesterday [Saturday] for a girl who's in my Writer's Bloc group at my church. Her name is Juliane and Saturday was her birthday. The leader of the group [Mrs. Hansen] organized the whole thing pretty much. What happened was Mrs. Hanson brought Juliane to Cold Stone Creameries where we [me and some other people in the writer's group] were waiting. When Juliane came inside, we all said "surprise!" I think what Juliane's response was [other than a look of shock] was, "This is the best surprise EVER!" So we got ice cream...which was VERY good [I got cake batter ice cream with Crunch pieces all in it]. Then us "younger people", me, Juliane [of course], Danyelle [she's going to Rhema's school and does NOT like chocolate], and T [a nice guy who is cool enough to open the door for us girls] went to the movie theater to see "Shrek 3". Shrek 3 was very good. After that, we went to this barbeque place, ate, and had cake. That was pretty much it. We had lots of fun and...it was great! [It made me feel very teenagery--no, that isn't a real word.]
