Recap of my birthday =)

Ok, so I woke up and immediately rolled over and opened birthday cards I have had from my family for about two weeks. Wonderful, magnificent! I went to a briefing at the International labor organization and learned about their work again child labor. Then, Julia and I went back home, and went to IKEA with my homestay mother and her friend, where we delighted in IKEA cafe...quite delicious. We came back, and she had bought me flowers =) So nice, and then she melted chocolate bars with a little milk and poured it over vanilla ice cream...mmmmm. That evening I decided I would go for a long run...I ran down to the lake and looked at my favorite little island (at night it is all lit up with orange and green spotlights and it is just trees....it is borderline spooky, oh I love it). Then as the night progressed, I, and a pair of scissors proceeded to the bathroom where wonder was worked on my hair. Yup =)

Ahh shucks, now that I am 22, I must say, because I am 22 and all, and 22 year olds...ok,
haha...

Gaela- Thanks for the birthday wishes =)

Mom- Love you, and thank you for being one of two amazing happy birthday singers (Amber later did). I love you, and any good that you see in my new hairstyle I attribute to you.

Amber: Thanks =) I was thinking the other day how nice it would be to have someone from back home speak a little French with this struggling French student, seriously. I love you, and the video worked perfectly!

Denise: Thanks for the text message and all the love =)

Love you all. Thanks for the constant love, it uplifts me =)
