23

I'm already failing at this whole photo-a-day thing... I'll try to do better, honest.

Just as I was getting used to saying I'm 22, I turn 23. Goodness. What a great day, though. One of the lovely ladies here had invited Mom and I to have lunch and hang out, a "get to know your Mom" time... little did I know, they had actually planned a whole party for me and another January birthday girl. It was so sweet of them, especially considering i didn't think I would get to see some of them that day.

Afterwards, we had our house gathering, and the four of us went out to dinner and came back for a game of Cranium, which Mom and I won, thank you. :)

I'm not one to make my birthday a big deal; in fact, I don't like it to be so. When others go out of their way, though, to make it special and to be able to celebrate together... I'm touched and so, so thankful for those He's placed in my life.

 

 

The English birthday singing may have not turned out so well... but they rocked the local version!
