Sweet 16

Hello to all of my dear followers and readers. How have you all been? I hope the weather at your places has been as nice as ours!
This is super late but hey, am I not know for late blog post or what!? Friday, the 25th of March, I turned 16.

You can't really see my cake, but it is an ice cream one with chocolate swirls on top.

Also you might see that browning deer head on a circle. Well that is a dart board from my brother Jacob. It is from the garbage dump, but it is in awesome condition!

 

Because I turned 16 my lovely parents let me wear make-up now. So my mom took me to Shopper's Drug Mart for a free make over. The lady did a great job and made it super fun for me. Afterwards, we went to Subway for lunch and then to DQ to get my cake.

 



 

 

On our way to Shopper's we had to drive past my friend's house because she said I had to. We didn't have to stop, but this drive past. So, we did.

Unless if you have great eye sight you probably won't see what it says. What is does say is, 'Happy 16th birthday Becky'.



 Then once we got home I got to finally open up my presents.

 

My parents got me 16 gifts which was pretty cool. I can't name all of what I got, but some of the things were a rodeo finale ticket for our stampede, an adult coloring book, American money for my Nashville trip, Harry Connick Jr.'s new CD, and other little things. My brother, Ben, got me the new Tim Neufeld CD which I thought I would never get because I could never find it. Jacob got me the dart board as you already know and also Chicago Mix popcorn. If you have never had that stuff, I recommend you go to the store right now, find it, buy it, and then eat the whole bag in two seconds. It really is that good. My friends that put up the sign for me got me a gift that was really creative. It was a picnic basket with a cute shirt, a blanket, a coloring book with pencil crayons, and food, of course, in it. What they wanted me to do with it is to go on a date, but the thing is that I am not going on a date anytime time soon. It was still a pretty cool gift. The last gift I got that I think is the coolest gift EVER is from my friend in Ontario. I seriously never in my life thought I would ever get Hunter Hayes as a gift. Well, I did!

This is blurry so you don't get the whole effect! Anyways, she drew this though and it is amazing! Right when I saw it I said, "This is the picture is from the Grammys." And I was right.

 

I will seriously treasure the picture the rest of my life. I still need to find a frame for it though.

It was a great birthday! I was spoiled like crazy.

I hope you all have a wonderful day and thank you for reading.

God bless,

Three Year Anniversay

So I didn't always like Hunter Hayes. There was a time I hated him. His songs "sucked" and he was just too "ugly" he looked like Justin Bieber which was what everyone said. But something changed my mind...
3 years ago I got the privilege to go to San Antonio Texas with my dad for his work. On the way down of course we had to sleep in hotels and every night we would get to one at like seven thirty, eight o'clock. To me, that was a little early to be going to bed so I decided to stay up on my tablet and watch YouTube videos. I had heard of this country music star named Hunter Hayes who was basically the "country Justin Bieber" and I had already made up my mind that I hated him. For some weird reason I just had to check him out though because I knew some people liked him and I had to know why. When I searched him up, this video that said For The Love Of Music episode 53 came up so I clicked on it.

It started playing, I thought he actually didn't look that bad as I had thought before when I saw a picture of him. The video was about the making of the Everybody's Got Somebody But Me music video. There was something about his personality that really got me. Even though it was a short little clip, he had me falling. There were more For Love Of Music that showed up so I clicked on the next one which was actually the one before it because the one I had just watched was the newest one. I learnt as I kept clicking and watching them that they were just a weekly "webisode" that just said what was going on with Hunter. His sweetness and his personality in general was great. I had never seen another guy like him. I started listening to his music and it was so great. His songs were always so sweet, always love songs (and some break up songs) but they just make you feel it. They make you gush. As we were driving we saw a billboard with him on it and I kind of freaked out. My dad didn't know what to think of that. Some random picture of a guy and his 12 year old daughter is screaming over him. Also we drove through a state that he was playing in which made me think I was so cool being in the same state as Hunter. When I got back home from San Antonio I was really liking him. I was too embarrassed to tell anyone because I already had announced to everyone that I hated him. It took some time to finally let it out and when I did, people wished I had never heard of him. To this day I won't shut up about him. But that is because he has inspired me to try out music and after I did, I just have to learn the most instruments I can. He has wrote songs that meant so much to me, that taught me something through just one line. He has made me laugh like there is no tomorrow. His sweetness and kindness just warms your heart. His love for music is makes me smile. He is quite handsome, but of course all of you can see that. Hunter is just all around an amazing guy. I am so happy that he is now a part of my everyday life because it has made my life so much more exciting. It has brought me joy and sadness like anything does. My love for Hunter has got me a really good friend. I really don't know what I would do without him.

 

 



So Hunter, I love you. Keep being awesome, keep being a great inspiration, keep writing great music. I will always be a fan.
I hope this story made you laugh because it sure made me laugh when I was writing it. I hope you all give Hunter a listen at some point. His music is all clean so any song is good.
God bless you all, thanks for reading, and keep being awesome!
