One of the highlights for me was being able to celebrate with Andres for his 15th birthday. I love him like he is my little brother! I also know that Andres lives in a house where no one is going to make a big deal about his birthday. I really believe that everyone needs to feel special and loved on their birthday. I loved being able to do that for him!! Brittany (one of the New Song staff and my future roommate) and I showed up at his house in the morning and surprised him with breakfast. He is getting to that age where he is much to cool to show his emotions. It was really difficult to get past that tough facade at all, but when we showed up to wish him a happy birthday  his face absolutely lit up and he gave me the biggest hug. I could tell that it really made him feel special. We were also able to take him out to dinner with my family and just continue to shower him with love.
