The Adventure Begins!

So last night my sister and I stayed up late NaNo-ing with three other participating friends, using Skype to cheer each other on. Roughly two adrenaline laced hours later, I had roughly 2700 words. Yay me!
I cannot vouch for the quality of these words, but the fact that I wrote them is what I'm choosing to focus on and celebrate. It was so much fun! Heart pounding, fingers flying, and a lot of lip gnawing when we got stuck.
Today I continued writing and boosted my word count up to about 3500. Yay me again! Haha.
Mom and Dad left the house around 11:00, presumably to run some errands. When they got back, Dad had a large, rectangular box with the word Acer on it tucked beneath his arm. With a smile he placed it in my hands and helped me set up my brand new laptop. I think I giggled with sheer excitement for the next hour or so.
He said it was an early birthday gift, (I'll be 18 mid November,) and that he wanted to support my writing. I wanted to cry I was so happy! Thank you Daddy!
