I LOVE BIRTHDAYS!

Yesterday was my birthday and I had a GREAT day, but I'd like to tell you about the preceding days first

I went up to the Wilds to counsel at a Teen Adventure weekend.  The weather was cold, but beautiful.  I got to hike to the 4th falls which I had not been to since I was a 9th grader.  I had forgotten how huge it was and how beautiful.  I was thrilled for the opportunity.  I also had a great time just hanging out with the girls in my cabin.  I watched them ride the giant swing.  We got drinks from the coffee shop. We went boating.  We went to fort fun.  We, or at least I, had a great time and then it was my birthday.

I woke up to have 22 flamingos hanging from the roof of the porch of my cabin and under those flamingos was a tiara just for me.  I wore that tiara all day (except during church).  I had a candle stuck in a donut at breakfast.  When I got back to school a friend of mine had hung up balloons on my hall by my door that were signed by a bunch of different friends.  And there was an ESV journaling Bible on my bed.  I've always wanted one of those.  I also got to eat my favorite salad for dinner, and today I went out for japanese with two of my favoritest friends.  It couldn't have been better.  God is good to give us the blessings of friends and fun. 

Now I am back at school with tests and papers all around...only two more weeks until thanksgiving though!
