SUPERPOST #2: Birthday, Anniversary, and Savannah!

Well HEY It's a Super Post!
I have been so busy over the past week, and frankly, it has been the best week of my entire summer!
So, my birthday was Friday, and that was fun. Birthday birthday birthday party party party la la la I'm seventeen, big whoop. What was even better on Friday, was that it was me and Noahsweets' official anniversary!
It is really crazy to believe that it has been a year (really 13 months) that we have been together and perfectly happy. Like, perfectly happy doesn't even cover it. It has honestly without a doubt been the best, most happiest year of my life. So many things have been unfolded and discovered about things such as the Gospel, happiness, love, and just human relations! It's been a pretty wonderful and lovely year to grow, and to grow with such an amazing person makes growing so much fun and I can't wait for more years!
For one of Noah's gifts that I gave him (there has to be something sentimental given, that's just how I work. I find sentimental value in everything.) an "I love.." jar!

I wrote down some of my favourite & funniest memories, everything I love about him and the things he does, all on little (some big) slips of watercolour paper, then painted the backs of the paper, and folded them all up and put them in the jar!
I shouldn't have used such thick paper, the jar got full surprisingly fast, like, in no time at all I had an entire jar of lovely little notes. I think in all there are over 75 slips of paper.
 Originally I had done all the notes in the car and wrote them in my Notes app, then hand wrote them on the paper. I didn't even reach half way on the list on my Notes! I need more jars..

A few days later, on the 24th, Noah, his mother, sister Sadie, her boyfriend Denzell, and cousin Auguste all came to Savannah for Sadie's birthday.
Number one, I think it's pretty cool our birthdays are only four days apart. Number 2, it means I got to spend a day with Noah in my town, and the other day in Savannah with him and his family!
Tuesday, he came to my house and we went out to Panera Bread, a haunted factory building, La Berry, and our traditional Sweetheart Circle visit! We did the same things we did on our first date, even ordered the same order! 

We then went to a super sketchy place called The Packinghouse. The story goes, that  one day, a lonngggg time ago, when it was a meat packaging factory, workers were one day trapped inside and the building was lit on fire and over 100 people died in that building. It still stands (barely) and is home to hobos and hooligans.
We parked the car pretty hidden and ran inside for our lives. If you can't tell, abandoned buildings are our deal.. haha. I showed him around in all the rooms, showed him where the fire started, some of my favourite graffittied walls and told him some pretty scary stories. My goal was reached, he was creeped out, and we ditched that place pretty quickly.

I love this building. And the Modest Mouse reference to the left.

It was super hot outside so therefore we went to La Berry for a frozen yogurt run.
Then we went to the mall and honestly just looked and walked around. The mall is boring and filled with typical looking people. So we went to Sweetheart Circle and then I gave him his present and took pictures together! We walked around GSU and the night was complete!

The next day, we went to Savannah with the rest of them family! We went to Tybee Island. Noah had forgotten swimming shorts, so we stopped at a gift shop and he bought some, and he let me pick them out :)

We got there, ignored the the third degree burns the sand was giving us, and immediately ran into the water! It was so much fun to tackle the waves as a group of six, get slammed by salt water, come up to the surface, and see everyone else recover their balance! It was funny, me, Sadie, and Sister Compton all arrived at the beach with no intention of getting our hair wet. Silly us. It was only a matter of five minutes before we were all drenched.

After about an hour of no sunscreen, we headed over to River Street where we were dying for candy, some of us oysters, and honestly, just some air conditioning.. haha. 

We had tons of fun on River Street, yummy sweets, and a great dinner! After River Street, we walked around downtown to see all the super old and super cute buildings and houses. Savannah is such a pretty place, regardless of all the other bashing I give to Georgia.

We all then wanted to go to the haunted Colonial Park Cemetery. Being believers of ghosts and spirits and paranormal existence, we were really excited to go and even tried catching orbs in pictures when we were there.

Unfortunately, between the six of us, we didn't catch anything. We did have a really fun time though and saw a bunch of odd things, especially all the repeated death dates. Only about half the dead there died on August 25th.. pretty strange.

All in all, it was such a perfect day with wonderful (and might I add, hilarious) people. It's hard not to have a great day when you're laughing every single minute of it. I am sooo glad I had Noah for a couple of days, he is the sweetest and most wonderful person of all, and I was happy to end my summer in the best way possible! C:
