5.10.12

Birthday

Another year older or as my friend puts it 21F. He started adding letters after he reached 21.

I'm extremely glad Dane organized an early celebration because today was a bit of a challenge, to put it nicely.  I refuse to focus on the, ahem, challenging parts and have decided to list four awesome moments from today.  Here goes....

1. One of my students gave me a flower they picked on their way to school.  I'm going to assume it was from their mom's garden and he asked first.

2. At dinner, my friend tricked me into looking at the tv, stole my bill, and bought my dinner.

3. I was able to see one of my students show his art work to our principal with pride at the district art show.

4. Dane surprised me with tiramisu after a very, very long day at work.  I may have shed some happy tears at his sweetness.

My hope is that the rest of 27 will not be as challenging as the first day and that the year will be filled with family, friends, and blessings.
