Birthday blessings

I have had such an awesome birthday this year!!!! I just want to count
my blessings. :) I lot has happened over the year. A serious
relationship of 5 years (on and off) ended. I lived with the Thorn's.
Wow!!! I really love them!!! They are family. I have survived my
first year teaching kinder. I moved into my first apartment. :) and I
love it. It is a little quiet, though. I have never lived by myself. I
have a new church family. Which, I have been looking for, my whole
life. And it is so awesome to hang out with them!!! My mom is almost
finished with chemo (diagnosed with lung cancer November 2007). The
parents in my class are just so great!!! They know just what to do and
be there for me so that I have been able to teach their child.

They threw me a surprise party for my birthday!!! My kindergartners
tried so hard to keep it from me. They wanted to tell me so bad. They
did a good job for the most part. My favorite was when we got to my
decorated clasroom door, they sang happy birthday to me. It was so
cute!!! We even had a piñata.

I went to dinner with my dad and family last night. My mom and sisters
and nephws, and have plans for Friday and Saturday.Yah!!!!
