Everything is done and finalized. I am going crazy with excitement. It’s gonna be a hunky-dory party. Jake is going to be 27. I am so happy. I am feeling so electrifying. It’s like everything I have ever wanted is with me. Sometimes life can be a mess, a full puzzle but you know what the secret is, ‘Hang in there and you will come out stronger’. If life is a plain road then what s the fun of living? Every one of us curses life for giving us hardships but those hardships make us who we are. I have learnt one thing very well; nothing is permanent in life except change. Sometimes change maybe not what we want but it is what we need. My life changed when Jake, Emma and Emmet came into my life. I have never been happier in my entire life. Life is not merely the breaths you take; life is the moments that take your breath away. Have faith in God and everyday the sun will be brighter and you will be happier. I love my life and I love the thousand priceless moments life is filled with. I closed my eyes and smiled as everything got better and beautiful.
Finally it is 24 January and I have gone insane. It is 7:00 in the morning and I am already up, as if a slept at all last night. I was so thrilled. I woke up my parents too.
“Ashley, the party is at night, could you be a little less perky.” Mom said, yawning.
“Come on mom don’t be a spoil support.” I said.
“Honey I know you are a bit jaunty today and there is an adrenaline rush but your mother is right. The party is twelve hours later. Calm yourself.” Dad said.
“Okay I know I am going wild so I am going for a walk to bring my hyper activeness to a rest.” I said and walked out of the house. I really don’t want to walk I want to scream loudly to the world that I am on the cloud nine. I started running around the block and I am smiling at total strangers. I ran for an hour and then I couldn’t feel my legs nor could I breathe. I walked to my house and I could feel my energy levels coming in control. I feel a bit relaxed. It is 8: 20 and I have not wished Jake yet. And I have planned I won’t wish him so he thinks I don’t remember his special day and then BOOM… the surprise. Actually it was Emma’s idea. I am continuously in touch with her through the phone. Jake reached there early and since then he is making both of them laugh. Even Emma and Emmet didn’t wish him.
I am so happy yet so nervous and a part of me is so excited that it wants to hug Jake and wish him Happy Birthday, but I control her deep desire. I have not done something this huge in my entire life and I am quite excited I am doing it now. Everyone should experience everything in life, that’s the fun part of it. Everyone else too is super excited, especially Emma and Emmet. I want everything to go perfectly. Fingers Crossed.
