~ Birthday Blessings! ~

Oh how birthdays remind us of the many blessings in our lives! This morning, I woke up to find a note outside my door that said "Last night some ninjas came by and said to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY" in Ninja font! LOL (you're so creative Vicki!) Then I got serenaded with the birthday song in my pj's by pyjama-cladded Vicki and Rebecca (who came bearing gifts!). Thank you so much for everything. It really started my day off so well!

Today was fun! Grace and Lynne wished me a happy birthday and Grace presented me with a plant in a magic egg that will apparently grow up to say "Happy Birthday" on the leaves! The rest of the day was studying, with a brief break for lunch with Thomas, who is leaving Waterloo soon. We had a great chat!

Then I went to get some groceries and bought a new dress-top for the Science Banquet/Christmas party (dual function!) with my gift certificate and money from Nannie and Aunt Cindy (thank you, thank you!). And now here I am!

So many thoughtful notes and emails through the day...I think that the thoughtfulness that people show on birthdays is really heartwarming. Thanks be to God for such warm friendships!

Lab-writing awaits. Scary times are ahead with exams, but we must take life one step at a time.
