Wonderful Day

Well, today was my birthday and it was a wonderful day. I feel very loved.

I wrote a final in the morning which was easier than I was expecting and then went out for lunch with some people from my classes.



Darcie's birthday was yesterday, so we were celebrated her as well. Here are the two birthday girls!



Oh, and I spilled a sangria all over the table and on Susan's jeans and Darcie's cast. And I couldn't have spilled just any drink...no, I had to spill the fruitiest drink that would of course be the stickiest. OOOPS!!! So for the rest of the lunch they kept moving drinks away from me whenever I was telling a story (I talk with my hands...I get that from my mom).

Then I went shopping and then off to Blossoms for some carrot cake and my boss surprised me with a LOVELY birthday arrangement.



And then...off to Colleen's for the main celebration. There were about 15 of us...Colleen made chicken lasagna and Leticia made a yummy salad and Jenn made a Saskatoon/rhubarb crisp and brought a banana cream pie. Soo good!



I got some wonderful presents...a Starbucks gift card, the new Hillsong United CD, some yummy body wash and lotion, money, coffee, an upcoming trip to the ballet this Thursday, and the gift of shopping in the form of a gift card for Sandbox in the City! Oh, and a beautiful card from Taryn...this girl makes the best cards!





So, it's now the end of the day and I am very tired and very happy. I just want to thank everyone so much for the lovely phone calls, messages, comments, emails, cards, and gifts.

"I thank my God every time I remember you...since I have you in my heart." (Philippians 1:3,7)

Happy belated birthday! Hope you had a most wonderful day. I also hope that you have a great time at the ballet if I don't get to talk to you before then.
