Birthdays seem to come around every year

Since it was just my birthday, let’s have a chat about it.

I spent my birthday in the Czech Republic.

Some would say birthdays away from home are hard.

Some would say “Wahoo I am away from home! Let’s have a party!”

I say they are simply...different.

This year was my second birthday away from home (in this case, Tennessee).

I received a birthday box from America a couple days early. These are the best.

I turned 23 on a Friday.

We had no school. Bonus!

We were headed to a weekend staff retreat on this particular Friday.

The staff sang me to a total of 4 times. Yep, count ‘em. FOUR.

To celebrate, the director of my school made a Texas sheet cake that was fabulous.

My friends threw a room party for me with brownies, party hats, and balloons. Oh and I can’t forget the awesome mittens and photo/drawing of Prague.

4 of my students brought presents and sweet cards just for me.

I miss being home with my sister on our birthday weekends but I love my friends here in CZ.

Family, friends, and skype…I am not sure what I would do without you.

Birthdays are great but I love the people in my life more…

So, here’s to 23. I am not sure what you will bring but I know it will be unique just to me. And this is how God made it to be.

Until next time...
