15.

Happy birthday to Jacob!! (yesterday, that is) I can't believe he's already 15. Seems weird to me but then again, I'm 18 and so close to graduating from high school. Just because he's 15 and there's a song written about it and I love her music, here it is ya'll.

You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors
It's the morning of your very first day
You say "Hi" to your friends you ain't seen in a while
Try and stay out of everybody's way
It's your freshman year and you're gonna be here
For the next four years in this town
Hoping one of those senior boys will wink at you and say
"You know I haven't seen you around, before"

'cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen
Feeling like there nothing to figure out
Well count to ten, take it in
This is life before you know who you're gonna be
Fifteen

You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail
And soon enough you're best friends
Laughing at the other girls who think they're so cool
We'll be out of here as soon as we can
And then you're on your very first date and hes got a car
And you're feeling like flying
And you're mommas waiting up and you think hes the one
And you're dancing round your room when the night ends
When the night ends

'cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
When you're fifteen and your first kiss
Makes your head spin round but
In your life you'll do things greater than dating the boy of the football team
But I didn't know it at fifteen

When all you wanted was to be wanted
Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now
Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday
But I realized some bigger dreams of mine

And Abigail gave everything she had to a boy
Who changed his mind and we both cried

'cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen, don't forget to look before you fall
I've found that time can heal most anything
And you just might find who you're supposed to be
I didn't know who I was supposed to be at fifteen

La la la la la .. la la la la la .. La la la la la

Your very first day
Take a deep breath girl
Take a deep breath as you walk through those doors.

Clearly little Jacobo is not a girl and it isn't going to be his first day of high school (because that happened a good 9 months ago) but still. It's titled Fifteen. I had to do this. Anyway, onto more important matters of business: the CAKE!!! Which was actually a cupcake-cake but you get the point. I get home from school at about 11:15 every day. From then until about 4:30, I was making this beast. And it's an "easy" design. I do not want to think of how long a difficult design would take me. Oh the horror.


How it turned out.


What it was supposed to look like. I just want to say that I'm no professional baker but I think I did an okay job. You can't really expect to look at good as the picture; it just never happens.
