Birthdays come, birthdays go in It's a Suhaila!

I’m now 19. In less than a year I’ll no longer be a teenager. My goodness.

My birthday was last Tuesday - wow a week ago already. The Open House plan worked, so people could drop around whenever they liked - that way no-one had to cancel other things for a specific time they had to be here. Alot of people were “aww!” over Jasmine, as she is now getting the hang of pulling herself up to a standing position! When it was all over, there wasn’t much food left, we ad put out a buffet style for people to help themselves to whatever they wished. Scott stayed the night too… and it was really lovely cuddled up to him. And yes, birthday sex is good… ;)

Salena stayed until Thursday when she really had to get back to university. Going to miss her as I always do, but she wll be back for a few days for Jasmine’s birthday.

I am now planning for Jasmine’s birthday. It’s hard to believe that it’s almost a year ago she came in to my world. I think I’ll have a fairly quiet day, I don’t want to overwhelm her, but I’d like close friends and family to come around - and I will also extend this invitation to her father (who is still coming to see her regularly).

I’ve found an old year end survey and tweaked it a bit (cutting out some questions) to summarise my last year.

What did you do in the last year that you’d never done before? Had a baby!

What would you like to have in this year that you lacked last year? A bit more stability with relationships

What dates from the last year will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
31st May - Jasmine arrived!
late August - Discovering my ex was a cheat
14th Feb - first date with Scott.

What was your biggest achievement of the year? Getting accepted on to the Open University course.

Did you fall in love in the last year? Yes

How many people did you....
Make new friendships with? Not counting Jasmine - four
Kiss? Two properly, the rest were family/friend kisses
Have sex with? Three

What did you want and get? I just wanted to be happy. And at times I did get that.

Who did you miss? Salena when she is away at university

Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in the last year: Crappy excuses are just that. Once I was burnt, never again. Once someone breaks your trust, they’re no ood for you.
