I can hardly believe it!! How did this happen!! It's also me who distinctly remembers that my birthday was last year - it can't possibly be again! But time goes on and I've gotten a year older. (I've actually been telling people that I'm turning fifteen because I don't act my age and I don't want to!)
And, sadly, this is the last time that I can sing that great song from The Sound of Music. So, for the last time....
'I am seventeen, going on eighteen....'
Also, today, I got to serve at a distribution center for Operation Christmas Child, which was a blast! It's something I've wanted to do for years and years but have either been too young or too busy. But, anywhoz, I finally did it today with a group from TeenPact. So much fun!!
 |
| Our entire group! (TeenPact is amazing, by the way....) |
 |
| Here's where all the shoe boxes went from the processing center! Really neat! |
 |
| My job was to make sure the 'filler boxes' were full. Sometimes, the boxes weren't full enough, so they stuck these things in to make the box better for the child. |
 |
| Some of the boxes with the un-processed shoe boxes inside! |
 |
| This lady found the shoe box she personally sent to Operation Christmas Child! Is that neat or what?! |
 |

 |
| Awesome TeenPact friends! |
 |
| At the end, after we'd worked for about four hours. Loads of fun! |
Almost needless to say, I was really tired by the end of the day. I could fall asleep right now, actually.... (Zzzzzzz....) But that's my fault - I cleaned two houses yesterday, then came home and stayed up designing my birthday cake until... really late. (My cake, by the way, looks ah-mazing and I can't wait to show you guys pictures! Not telling what it looks like, but it's very green and geeky.) And then I woke up early, got fingerprinted for our next adoption (luckily, they didn't find out about my criminal record...), and then went and processed Christmas shoe boxes!
I am so sleeping in tomorrow....
Which is fine because it's a Saturday!
