A kitten and my last day of being 16

My Life (For as many posts as it takes) #104

Happy Independence day!!! To celebrate my family has completely torn up a good portion of our house and we're putting in new flooring! ;) Okay, so we're not actually doing that to celebrate, its just when we had time to do it. 

Tomorrow (Tuesday) I'll be turning seventeen. I'm really not sure what to think of that yet. Does anybody else know that scared, yet excited feeling when you are about to do something big? Thats how I feel this birthday. This year has already been packed with life changing and building stuff and I can only see that increasing as I turn seventeen. Let's just pray that I manage to survive myself. Just in the last week alone I've managed to get a dog bite from a dog that is not up on his rabies shot. (Prayers for that would be appreciated, but don't worry, because the doctor said the chance of me getting any illness is SUPER small and we have taken measures to make sure I don't get anything.) 

So yeah, surviving myself is harder than it sounds. ;P 

I do want to thank y'all for being so awesome and reading my blog, because that alone is a birthday present to me. Y'alls comments, friendships and messages have by far been the best thing about blogging. THANK YOU!!! 

I already feel birthday-ed with all the awesome things that have gone on this week: Getting new books, messaging friends, getting to see a live production of Beauty and the Beast, texting, getting funny emails, going out with siblings, taking goofy group selfies in the back of a car, getting autographs from actors, being able to hang out with friends, and being told you had a birthday present and going out to find this:

My sister Rebekkah, my dog Luke, and my kitten Shadow, all of which have been around awhile, but they made perfect presents. =)

Now for a photo dump of pictures of Shadow: 

This is my favorite photo of him. Hes just so cute!

Shadow and Luke meeting. 

And he can fit on my camrea bag. (Rebekkah took this photo)

He is actually attacking my skirt, not sucking on it like the photo makes it look.

He atacked his own tail.

I just loved the look on his face. XD

Trying to get the 'mouse'
