Post- Sweet 16, 2 a.m.

It was very late, probably around 2 in the morning. Kaitlyn and I had just come back from one of our friend’s party, and we were still overexcited and hyped. It had been a really fun night, with lots of games and laughter. It was a sweet 16 birthday party, and there were a ton of people in attendance. We had a lot of fun with all the people we knew, and we made lots of new friends while we were there. It was very hard to pull ourselves away, but we had curfew. All the way home, we sat in the car and sang very loudly (and very badly) to the radio. We honestly could not stop giggling the entire way. When we got back to my house, it was hard to go to sleep. We kept talking about everything that had happened at the party and gossiped late into the night. At one point I was laughing so uncontrollably that almost fell off the bed. It was so late in the night and we had been talking for so long that everything was funny. Our eyes were still bright with excitement from the party, and everything we did or said was hilarious. The only thing I remember that stands out in my memory was that I was calling Kaitlyn a burrito because she had pulled the sleeping bag up all the way over her head and was rolling around on the air mattress. After a few minutes of this, we were both hysterical. I don’t remember much else from that night as it was a blur of joy and exhilaration, but it was still a fantastic and fun-filled night. I remember having a great time at the party and then coming back to my house and sharing a great bonding memory with my best friend.  Awesome!!!
