31

tomorrow i turn 31.  it has been a busy year for me and during this year, God has grown me more into His image through times of failure and times of joy.  i am currently sitting in our house all alone and it's so weird being in this place without any noise, without someone asking me to play with them... RB, my old housemate and friend, has organized a dinner for me tonight for my birthday and since who knows when, this is my night out.  i'm so excited!!!

i was surprised this morning with a flower delivery.  i couldn't think of anyone that would send me flowers and i thought... ooo this is exciting.  when i opened my card, i started to cry.  my good friend send me flowers from across the world and they are so beautiful.  flowers just make me happy!!  thanks jm for sending those to me.

not much more to say, except having a birthday after my first full week of school is good.  it gives me hope for this year to come and i am so excited to see what the Lord will do!!!  (although there is some side of me that is also sad... P just made birthdays extra special for me... for weeks at a time...  hope trumps it by far and i can't wait to see what 31 brings!!!)

so here is self taken picture of me at 7 hours til 31.  ha ha...
