I am unable to tell you how overwhelmed I am by the gifts, cards, poems, e-mails, snail mails, calls, and other reactions to my birthday. I will eventually get caught up thanking you all and just ask for your patience as I do.

I don't know if I will ever get caught up with all the blogger's posts, comments and e-mails but, hopefully I will by my 19th birthday.

I have so many pictures to edit and post that alone will take weeks.

In any case MY BIG DAY started off with Terry and Chuck dropping me of at the AMC movie theatre where Allen and I saw "the Other Bolelyn Girl"--review to be posted eventually!!--while they went 'sightseeing' at the Ft. Lauderdale Beach and Wilton Manors--just some of the 60+ pictures they took (mostly 'eye candy'!!) will also be posted.

At 4:30 we met up at Sweet Tomatoes where the party tool place--I lost count of how many pictures were taken between Terry, Chuck, Francis and me--won't post them all but quite a few over the next week.

Just to give you an idea of how much I love Chuck and Terry I even got up at 7:30 AM (yes, in the morning) on day 4--more about that tomorrow. :O)
