Happy Birthday to Me!

It’s my birthday today (27 July)

It’s the first time I’m in London for it
The last three years’ birthdays were spent abroad (on holiday, of course!)

Last night at midnight
I celebrated my birthday with my parents and sister through Skype
My daddy put on his best shirt
My mama made up her beautiful face
And my sister got up in her pajamas (a big feat considering she’s on school holidays).. all at 7 in the morning

They brought out a cake complete with candles all lit up for the camera
I counted to three and told my sister to blow out the candles while I blew at.. nothing (haha)
It completely made my night, to see all their faces and hear voices again
There’s nothing like having family around on a special occasion

But guess what the biggest surprise is?
My little sister is flying to London to spend 2.5 weeks with me this weekend!!!!!!!
I’m so excited I might pee myself!

ALSO
My boyfriend gave me an electric guitar
I’m now one step closer to my dream HEY
Yes it’s always been my big dream – to be in an indie rock band..
Whatever. I just wanna be in a band!
I love playing musical instruments, I feel like I can pick up anything!
I love teaching myself.. hopefully with time I’ll be able to play some of my favourite songs

So after fiddling with it at 2am last night
I fell asleep.. it was an amazing sleep filled with the most vivid and CRAZY dreams
I dreamt I was being hunted by a pack of strawberry tarts that could come alive and shapeshift in Copenhagen, amongst other things
It was so good that I couldn’t bring myself to wake up until 2pm!!!

In the evening we went bowling with my close friends (it’s definitely NOT one of my talents.. ugh)
And then had dinner + drinks after, nothing fancy
I feel like I’ve done so much this summer that I don’t need to celebrate my birthday in any ‘big’ way
But I’d say my first birthday in London is so far a great one 🙂

And thank you to the couple of you who emailed to wish me, it was very sweet!
