24

I am just going to be honest right now and tell you all that I love birthdays. There is something about your special day- that 24 hour window when the world seems to revolve around you. Call me selfish, but I love that 24 hours. Not because everyone caters to me because I'm just so amazing. No, because on this special day, I often get to spend it with those nearest and dearest to me. And that, my friends, is worth celebrating. Here's a glimpse of how I kicked off my 24th year.

At Super Salad's for our last high school girls' Bible study.

Libna and I at The Avengers in 3D at the VIP movie theater. Amazing.

All my sweet friends who came to celebrate with me!

Blowing out the candles on my favorite dessert made by my sweet neighbor, Wendy.

We're learning about the Middle Ages in history, and this "Viking" (a.k.a. Pastor Sean) came to wish me a happy birthday. The kids say I jumped about 2 feet in the air when he made his grand entrance.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. - James 1:17
