Hello Naomi!
I hope your friend didn't turn 18 already.... :jap:
I am NOT a native japanese speaker, but I have a good level of proficiency so I will translate it for you...it might not sound "natural" to a japanese mother tongue, but given the purpose of the text I think it should be all right :)

I have one question: what do you mean with "we'll make the best out of it"? What are you referring to? I did not translate this for now.

Note that: -I am writing in a polite way, such as you would do with somebody older than you, let me know it this friend of yours is much younger than you
-"I miss you" doesn't exist in Japanese.... :D I know, shocking isn't it.

お誕生日おめでとうございます。最近元気にしていますか?
いつ訪問してくれるかな?覚えていますか?週に一回訪問すると言っていましたよ!
そちらは天気はどうでしょう?寒くはありません?時間を楽しく過ごせたらいいですね。
あなたのことを心配してあげる友達がいるということを忘れないでくださいね!
では、18歳になっておめでとうございます!
