I was all prepared to have a pretty terrible birthday. Last year I had recently moved to Arizona, didn't really have any friends there. Some key people in my life didn't wish me a happy birthday, so it was kind of depressing. Hence why I was ready for this year to be a bust. I have friends here in Hawaii (despite what some of my students think...) but I have only been living here for about 7 months, so I wasn't getting my hopes up. And woah. This was one of my favorite birthdays ever.
There was so much love on the days surrounding my birthday I just didn't even know what to do with myself. I just want to publicly say thank you to everyone that contributed in any way, even if it was a text or fbook message. I felt so loved and it was the perfect day.
Here's a recap of the events in Hi.
This girl is the main reason my birthday was SO great
Dessert waffles are always the correct choice
Other highlights/favorite presents:
Crayons shaped like mustaches
iPhone 4s (I love it so much and only fight with Siri occasionally)
Birthday cake/cookies from my second period
(it's still weird to see Ms. Wright written out)
Also, this is chantilly cake and if you have never had that I suggest you do so IMMEDIATELY.
It is amazing
Ice cream cake from my co-workers
(Did I mention I ate lots of cake?)
A BEAUTIFUL new journal/notebook
BEAUTIFUL new purse
Birthday "song" voxed to me from the London airport
