It's my birthday...
for another 5 minutes here in New Orleans so I'll make it quick (and I've got 9 am church). Yesterday I was feeling blue and homesick knowing that tomorrow was my birthday and I'm so far from "home." I voiced my depressive state to David and so he made today the best birthday ever! He came home from work and cleaned the whole house, which was a mess. We went out to dinner and had yummy food, he got me an ice cream birthday cake and Daniel put dinosaurs on top (that's all Daniel could talk about for days, which kind of dinosaurs I wanted) and he surprised me with a birthday party. I don't think I've had a party in at least 10 years. I think the last one was when I was 15 so I guess its 12. It was great, I loved it, I love him, and as long as we are together that is all that matters. Today was by far my best birthday because I learned that "Home" is here with my little family of 4 in New Orleans.

It's hard to be away from home for the first few birthdays but it gets better.
Have a great day!!
I am proud of you, I know it is hard to be away, but think of all the wonderful growing you are doing. I still remember the day you were born. ONE of the best of my life!!!! Hope you had a wonderful birthday. AND we will celebrate again when you are back at your other home.
Love you,
Mom
