I turned 16!!
I went to the mall and got a pretty dress. I talked with my family from Mexico and Oregon! I met the Chick-fil-a cow. I decided to have raspberry-blackberry pie instead of cake, because really, when you can have pie, why would you want cake? I also baked a dark chocolate cake (from scratch!) last night, because even though pie is better than cake, cake is still a birthday classic. The first layer kinda crumbled, but Christian and I fixed that with a LOT of dark chocolate frosting. In a few days we’re going to Texas which is awesome, because everything’s bigger in Texas and I’m assuming that includes birthdays.
Mom also made vegetarian pizza. I don’t… dislike vegetarianism quite as much as I used to. It was really, really, really good pizza.
On a related note, all that pie and cake and pizza (even vegetarian pizza) adds up to a lot of calories. But that’s OK because, other than the fact that I have a high metabolism, I’m totally motivated to start training for a triathlon now!! Dad got us a book on training for a triathlon the other day. It looks so fun! And pretty doable!! I really want to go for it 🙂

I agree with the pie/cake comment. (tg)
As do I. I wish I would have though of this about 50 birthdays ago.
Sorry I am late with birthday wishes. Sounds like the day went well.

Happy Birthday, Kelly.
Thank you Lyle and Mrs. Graham!! 🙂
Kelly. Step away from the triathalon. It’s not natural. I’m just sayin. 😉
Kelly,
Happy Birthday! I agree with you about cake and pie. Actually I like cheesecake, slightly frozen, peanut butter chocolate.

Mini triathalons are alot of fun. In my “before kiddos” days, I had participated in several. It feels great to accomplish something like this.
Just thinking about how chocolate frosting fixes SO many things. 🙂
