I wanted to update you all on how my birthday went. So here goes...
I woke up at 7 am after going to bed at 2am to talk with my family. They all wished me a happy birthday and sang Happy Birthday to me. Then the three young girls of the family I am living with all gave me birthday cards they had made me. It definitely made me feel special. Then I was off to church and a potluck lunch afterward. The Shepherd's Pie was amazing, especially since it was made by somebody probably from England or Scotland. I came back and played with the girls as they taught me to count to ten in Nepali (although one would think I would already know this having been here for a month and a half).
Then we had pizza and cake for dinner and they sang to me.
They bought me some socks (a universal truth I've realized), some really nice Adidas socks.
(please note the sexy legs)
It was an incredible gesture on there part to give me such a birthday. They know how much I miss home and wanted me to have a good birthday regardless. And they succeeded. And for that I thank God, and I am grateful.

As your mom who could do very little from this distance, I am very grateful for Stephen and Serena and girls to have gone "all-out" for your birthday! Please relay my appreciation!
