The Best End-of-HighSchool party EVER!

Yesterday was a crazy day. It was the last day of my four amazing years of high school. A couple months ago I had planned a awesome party I was going to have to celebrate it, but now I had a job and life was getting very hectic quickly so it didn't look like it was going to turn into anything. What I had originally planned was just something small. I just wanted my family to attend and we were going to have pizza, glass bottle sodas (because that is the only real way to drink soda!), tye-dye shirts and watch a movie. It sounds kind of boring but it's all I wanted--nothing big. I had work that night till 8 p.m. and so it seemed like my plans were doomed. My mom, however, was adamant about having this party probably because I was just as stubborn when I told her I didn't want a big graduation party and she thought I was nuts. She kept on asking "What kind of pizza you want?" "What movie do you want to watch?" "Where is the stuff for tye-dying?" I kept trying to tell her that we should just post-pone it since there was no way we were going to be able to fit it in that night and since I was unprepared. That was the last I heard about it. I went to work; my mom picked me up; we went home. I was dead tired and I couldn't wait to eat something, brush my teeth, and hop into bed. I opened the door to our house and walked inside and I was amazed! I was revived almost immediately upon walking across that threshold. The bright lights and decorations sucked all the tiredness out of me. The giant Elvis wall decoration made me giddy and the 50's music just completed the feeling. On the counter my favorite candies were scattered: Dum-Dums, Red Vines, and Laffy Taffys. Out back under the overhang were streamers of home-made decorations and a CONGRATULATIONS center piece on the picnic table. It was so perfect! I must have looked ridiculous because I was honestly in shock. My mouth was probably hanging wide open and my eyes may have been popping out of my head, but I didn't care. Later after Costco pizza (the best), vintage glass bottle sodas, making super cool tye-dye shirts, and watching Sky High I reminisced over the whole ordeal. It was the best graduation party ever and cannot thank my brother, sisters, and my mom enough. They are the best. Plus since it was a surprise party I can now cross that off my list of things to do before I die. :)
