Actually it wasn't all that exciting.
I decided next year I should make myself a cake, blow out some candles.
It was a good day though. I felt very loved with all the texts and phone calls I got. I felt sad that I didn't get to talk to my mom. I also felt her love for me and I'm grateful for that.
We had a teacher work day so I got lots of stuff done, which is good. People stopped by to wish me happy birthday and my team and I went to lunch. They wanted me to pick a restaurant, but I wouldn't let them buy me lunch. The other two have birthdays when we aren't in school. So we bought ourselves lunch for our birthdays. It was a lingering lunch because Kneaders was very busy and Miriam finally went up to the counter and got our food that was languishing there, waiting to be delivered. We talked about all the things and I love my team.
Marianne called from the Accra airport and since I didn't have students, I could answer. She was about 8 hours into their hero's journey and she is still in the air. Such a long trip! I'm so grateful that she is coming.
My dad called and I said that I was glad that we would all be together.
He said, "I wish it was for a different reason." And so do I.
Adam and I went to Costco--like you do to celebrate? I like being with him no matter what though. I'm glad I get to share a birthday with that guy.
