#43 17th birthday in the US

Hey guys,

Last week was my birthday and I turned 17!

My birthday was during the week so I had school and rehearsal for drama. That’s why I came home pretty late and we went to Olive Garden for dinner. I love this place so much, they have the best food and I even got a desert for free :D

After dinner, we went to Sweet Frog to get Frozen Yoghurt because I didn’t want cake and then I opened my presents at home. My host family got me jewelry, clothes, a picture frame and some stuff from Lush. One of my friends also got me a bracelet and a Kinder egg, they are illegal here but somehow she managed to get one :D

I was so happy about all the wishes from my family and friends in Germany, I didn’t even think so many people would text me. And thanks to my parents for the sweet card, my best friend Rebecca who wrote me a cute letter and my best guy friend who wrote me 7 pages!

It was very different from how I’m used to having my birthday in Germany but I had a great time! And I can watch Rated R movies now :D

Sophie :)
