Thank you thank you everyone! Man... I feel so loved- especially because I've heard from my dearies across the many oceans (or well, if you really want to, across one ocean and a whole lotta land)
Hugs for twin because its our birthday- love you lots! We keep missing each other when we call.. so sad! I'm not usually in my room.. and your cell has no voice mail! Hugs for my parents who I thought was only sending me my forms - but more than that came! Hugs for ben, clemence, fannie, j and ak for the flowers - what a surprise! Man.. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the size of it. I had to clear a shelf for it. Lol. Hugs for lala for your thoughtfulness and trademark pen - I'm using it now! Hugs for my roomie who ran off early in the morning to surprise me. Hugs for uniz who wrote a lovely blurb on her bloggie. Hugs for my bible study group who made a huge brain poster and stuck it on my door, who had to deal with my bad timing but persevered through it all. Hugs for my leader who despite her own heavy workload, took time out to spend with me and take our class out to dinner. Hugs for everyone for the emails and tags - thank you for remembering! and of course.. hugs for my God who surprised me with a beautiful sunrise- for some reason I woke up at 6.30 and looked out of the window- and there it was, waiting for me. (though I did fall asleep after.)
Dang it sounds like an oscars speech. Too bad.. hahaha. I'm feeling super loved and blessed- what more can I ask for?
