Last night was my dear friend Angela's birthday party. She invited our prom group down to her house for food and games. (Only three guys came XD). She said that she did not want any presents because she "felt bad for taking your money". *snorts* Whatever :).
So I went and bought her a present anyway. I almost got her a pair of super cute sunglasses, but then I suddenly remembered my birthday party. We had watched The Princess and the Frog. It was her first time seeing it and she absolutely LOVED it. She jokingly said that that was all she wanted for her birthday. Well, luckily I was in Target so I put the sunglasses back and grabbed the DVD.
Later that night at her party she was opening her presents. She got some super cute bags/purses, candy, and goofy little trinkets (these are typical birthday presents amongst our group of friends). My friend Anna, gave her a dream come true... strawberries. She was so happy when she got the strawberries. Mine was the last present to be opened. She almost missed it.
She picked it up, probably expecting candy and pulled the tissue paper from the bag. She looked inside and saw that it was a DVD. She did not pull it out, but instead pushed the sides of the bag out and looked at the cover. Immediately she put her hand down and just held the bag, staring into space. I was not sure what she was thinking. I thought maybe she already had the movie and was ready to offer her the receipt. Then she did something truly shocking... she started to cry. I stared at her confused. She was crying with a smile on her face. I realized that they were happy tears. I started laughing and everyone (all of whom had not not been paying any attention at all) looked at us. Angela pulled the DVD out just to confirm that it really was what she thought it was. I had never seen her so happy about a present.
She gave me the biggest bare hug ever. "Thank you Kelsi! You are awesome!". So are you Angela :)
