Blessed On My Birthday...

Thank you all so very much for all the calls, texts, and wall posts yesterday. I am blessed by you! My birthday (22 years young) was a good one! Granted, the other half of my life wasn't present and that was saddening but my friends and family really filled the void with all the love. Manders and I decided to trek to the beach for a few hours. Traffic was insane but we were patient enough to find the golden goose of parking spots! We were joined by my sister and caught the spring rays while we could before eating lunch at a restaurant that was only 20 feet behind us. I totally cheated my diet in the amount of food I ate and gained a pound this week instead of losing it BUT it was worth it!!!! I'm back on track this morning and have all my meals tracked and ready to go :) Anyways, when we finally arrived home the oven was overflowing with the smell of prime rib! My parents know how to break out the good stuff ;) We invited another dear friend of mine over and feasted on moms deliciously prepared meal till we were full. After the candles were lit and the last piece of cake had been consumed, my brother joined us and we started a competitive game of settlers of catan. Michael owned us all but it's the fun that matters.  




All in all, It was a really nice day. No math to study, no worries, and lots of sun tan. It looks like today might bode the same since dad is taking us boating. In other news, I don't have any updates on or from Thomas. =[ I completely understand that there is no reception and even if there was who would take out there cell phone while white water canoeing down the green river in Utah??? Nevertheless, I still miss him like the dickens and am greatly anticipating the next phone call or text message that comes through. There's only 45 days till he gets back!!! Just keep praying for him please. That is all I ask. Thank you! The only other news I have is that I'm applying to graduate (with AA) and I take my GKT test April 10th to finally be admitted into the elementary education program at Edison. I NEED TO PASS THIS WRETCHED MATH SECTION!! Now you know how to pray for me this week and next. Math math math math math.....
In Him,
