Dear Diary,

Today was my 17th birthday. I got this journal as part of one of my presents. So far, this has been the best birthday ever! I got brand new materia that my mom was able to find, and all the kids I teach got me a new paint set... It was so sweet. The angel flowers growing in the church seemed to be glowing today, and everything was just great. Yuffie swung by, gave me a lucky shuriken. (Im pretty sure its just one she had on her, but I liked it anyway.) Today i felt like I was literally in Seventh Heaven. When Gunner came by, and we went to the abandoned park near the church. He knew it was one of my favorite places. Its just always had a special aura around it, and I immediately felt good when I stepped on the gravel. We kissed, at the park... hah :) ok, I've gotta go, moms calling!
