kev was violently ill with some kind of food-borne bug. so we postponed celebrating until the day after, which realistically was my birhtday anyway with the time difference and all.
there is a new mall here that we refer to as "little america." it is well equipped with a subway, h&m department store, air-conditioning, real toilets, and (most importantly) starbucks. kevin's gift to me was a day (well 3 1/2 hours)
there. all by myself.
as you can see i was ridiculously excited:)
quiet reading for an hour with a frappuccino. dreamy. if you have little's, you've
got to read this book by the way. loving it.
mom and dad gave me some birthday money and kev insisted i take a bit extra to get something new for myself, so i did something i haven't really done here... i tried on clothes... and i bought a couple new things. and it felt great.
but after 3 hours i really missed these guys. seriously they are the best birthday gift a girl could get. God has been so merciful and GOOD to me. and really... it just keeps getting better and better -this journey with Him. i have a feeling year 32 is gonna be the best yet!
we had our usual birthday meal at our favorite western joint - bacon burger for kev, nachos for me, hot dog for W, and mangoes and banana for this little peanut.
and, of course, a milkshake to top it off:).
I'm so glad you had a great birthday!!! Wish I could have hung out at "little america" with you and shopped, talked, and tried on clothes together. Maybe someday... :)
