Let's see, i stayed home, ate, watched my favourite tv show "What not to wear", laughed a bit, and took a shower. then steph called and asked if i wanted to have a drink with B after work, i said "SUUUUREE!"..after that i headed to work
During work, it was the usual, i had some really nice customers, had fun with my coworkers and had my share of headaches...after work i called up steph, she told me she was going to come pick me up from the mall.
I went to walmart to kill time while waiting for her, when she arrived b and rox was in the car..the car ride was somewhat normal, until steph asked if i had lipgloss in my room. Then my mom called and told me to invite steph into the house because she's never seen her face before. I was like "um...sure..."
When i walked into the door, my mom was like "hiii" and i saw a lot of food on the table, i was like "why the heck did she ask steph b and rox to come in if they invited guests? jeez" but then i just went up to my room, meanwhile steph b and rox were frantically taking off their jackets, bouncing up the stairs in such a giddy way, which was weird because they were usually more "calm" and polite. I noticed that my door was closed, which was unusual, but "meh". Just when i was about to open the door, gencan walks by and said "HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
It was then that i realized that my door was probably closed because my room was really messy, the lectures my mom constantly gave me about keeping a clean room just in case guests come in suddenly rang true. So i opened the door a bit and peeked in.
......when i looked in, on my desk sat a) a flat screen monitor b) a white keyboard c) two thin speakers d) a little white box
Just when i was trying to figure out what was going on, a HOARD of people came pouring into my room endlessly, yelling "SURPRISEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Yeah, 30+ people got me a completely new set of computer. They even video taped the whole surrpise.
My intitial reaction was...no way, i coudln't believe it and i didn't want it. It was really too much.
My feeling now is still somehwat the same, i feel like i dont' deserve such a big gift and that it's just too deluxe.
What i need to learn though, is to accept it.
Although i do not feel like i did anything to deserve this wonderful gift, i am thankful, and extremely grateful for all the friends i have. Words cannot describe how much i love all of them. I don't know how to thank of all them. I wish i could just rip my heart out and show you guys just how aggressive my thankfulness is. I just want to give you guys all big squeeze hugs forever and ever. I wish i could give you guys all a complete set of computer.
It's the best christmas iv'e had thus far, and it's not because of the computer itself, but all the people that were willing to come out to present to me this gift, all the friends that i know love me, and all the people i love..to celebrate this joyous holiday with me. I am grateful beyond comprehension. God is so good to me. I rreally wish i could write this more eloquently and express my feelings a bit more clearly, because, clearly, i am not demonstrating enough just how thankful i am.
Just know that i am, and i will never, ever forget it.
i love y'all..soo much.
After bubble tea and all we all went home, i failed everyone by not succeeding in shedding tears, but when i got home and relished the moment, i started tearing up. I still do whenever i think about it, it's like...random surges of tears welling up in my eye. Steph called me at like 2 something and i started crying, this is a pic of me on the phone with her and her asking me to take a picture.....haha. i did cry, just not in front of you guys :( sorry

I MISSED YOU GENDI! I'm so glad your internet hiatus is over.
HAHAHAHA...I can just imagine your reaction during the whole thing. I was so scared that you would become suspicious, but I only wanted you to look pretty when people surprise you with the computer. I did not mean for it to sound so random.
You completely deserve the gift. You have touched the lives of so many people and this is proof to show how important you are to all of us, especially me. I love you!
I wish I was there to see your reaction...but I'm glad you enjoy your new computer.
