My birthday was on Sept. 3rd so I didn't have a lot of time to make friends before my birthday so I was expecting to just have it go by quietly here. On Friday the day before my birthday I was so surprised when I was at work and had a cake and flowers delivered to me. It made all the teachers around me come and look and ask who sent it. I was so excited when I saw the note and found out one of my awesome Korean pen pals sent it to me. She wanted to make sure that I didn't have a lonely birthday. Both the cake and flowers where so beautiful and they made my day!
Then on Saturday my actual birthday another one of my Korean pen pals brought me another cake. It was such a cute cake too! If you know me then you know that I love to make my birthdays last as long as I can. It was a fun day, I spent the morning studying Korean and that night I went with my friend and had some really yummy food.
Then on Sunday I was able to talk to my family using my iPad and some free wifi that I found on the street. It wasn't a great signal but I got to see my family and they sang Happy Birthday to me. They where all together because it was the same weekend that my new nephew was getting blessed so they where all in Arizona together.
Between all the fun I had here and all the birthday wishes I got on Facebook it made turning another year older easier. I'm grateful for all my friends that I have!
I missed it, so here is a belated Happy Birthday! If I was there I might have encouraged you to take a bite out of your cake. ;) What did they say on the mission? Mordelo?
