My First 29th Birthday...

As my sister states it, this year was my "first" 29th birthday! I like that. From now on, I will be celebrating the anniversaries of my 29th birthday rather than getting older! Ha!

I started teaching summer school on my birthday. After a VERY trying day, I got into my car to go home and get ready for a birthday dinner with my friend Lisa who wouldn't tell me where were going. My car wouldn't start. Dead battery. So I called a friend to jump me and follow me to the car shop to drop off my car. After a hectic afternoon, Lisa took me to the Gaslight Theatre (a melodrama/vaudeville type theatre) for dinner and a show! Turns out, Austin coordinated it and paid for our show tickets! What a sweet guy! Lisa treated me to a fun dinner and we called it a night!

Friday was another frustrating day of teaching. Once that ended, my friend Jeannine took me to pick up my car and I headed home to get ready for a birthday dinner I planned with 13 of my closest Tucson friends! We had a great evening. My friend Jan made a cake and everything! Fun was had by all!

Though this year had its frustrating moments, I'm calling this year's birthday a success! I was reminded of all the blessings I enjoy and look forward to the coming year (as I hope to finish this degree)!

I will continue to celebrate my birthday through the rest of the month, as is my tradition!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONTH!
