lucky

i wanted to take one photograph an hour on my birthday [like i did on daniel's birthday a couple years ago], but i ended up being a bit more overwhelmed than expected! so here are a few photographs of my day :)

 daniel woke me up to a super amazing french toast breakfast :) i ate it while replying to some super sweet birthday wishes.

when i arrived at work, a couple co-workers [one just HAPPENS to be my BFF!] were decorating my office. :) i played the creep-oh and photographed them unknowingly ;)

the streamers are still up. they're too pretty :)

 i tutored some students...which is always refreshing now that i'm not in the classroom much.

then there were a couple meetings...

look where i get to go soon! yay!

and received the bestest surprise when people started showing up to our PLC [planned learning community] meeting with loads of food and drinks.

maybe i'm just slow or naive...or something!...but i didn't think about a beautifully decorated room coming with a party. my co-workers are awesome! and they are great friends and i am so lucky :)

 

the glorious day ended with my parents taking daniel and i out to eat. :)

they are swell. one of my presents was guitar hero 5...and i'm obsessed again. haha

guitar hero 3 was all i played my first year teaching...the cycle continues!

thank you SO much to everyone that sent me a birthday message [ or told me in person ;) ].

i really really appreciate it. there are so many amazing people in my life and i am incredibly lucky.

<3 i think i can stop having birthdays now. no more aging please :)

p.s. last year around this time....
