I celebrated my 28th birthday this past Thursday. Since it was a school day we didn't do much that day. I did have a small party in my language class where the other 3 ladies and my teacher brought Gallo Pinto (breakfast rice and beans), fruit, scrambled eggs, and bread. Thank you ladies! One of my friends also made me a cake and brought it to school for us to have during our 2 hour break. That night I finished my homework early and sat and watched a movie before I went to bed. It was relaxing! Friday night Aaron planned a date for us. He even secured a babysitter! He took me to a restaurant in the mountains that looks over the city of San Jose. It was absolutely beautiful. We were so high there were small clouds that were sailing right by the window we were sitting by. However, because we were so high the temp was a little cooler. It was about 50 degrees and we were freezing! Aaron told me I could order whatever I wanted so I ordered Filet Mignon. It was a very good steak. I have not had one since we have been here in Costa Rica. We were getting ready to order dessert and next thing I know our waiter was putting a piece of cheesecake in front of me and then there were about 5 other waiters ready to sing Happy Birthday to me. I don't get embarrased often but I was at that point. I just wasn't expecting it at all because the environment is one of romance. But I couldn't be mad at Aaron for telling them, but our friend Fernando who made the reservations. Oh well, we had a good time anyhow. Saturday night our friends threw me a birthday pizza party. I even received some presents.
Joe and Heidi gave me some Yarn for more Crocheting.
Dwyndl and Lori gave me a little Happy birthday bear.
Ryan and Emily Buttes gave me some cookie sticks, Banana Bread, and Cookies.
Dee Jay and Christy Burton gave me a hand mixer.
Thank you to all my friends who helped make my 28th Birthday memorable. I am excited to see what adventures God will bless me with this next year!
We made it through our first week of school! We both love our Teachers and classes. Thank you for praying us through the first one. Only 14 weeks left to go!
Below is the link to the pictures from Christmas and Birthday. There are a few that were taken with our camera when Mom and Dad were here also. At the end of the pictures is a video of the girls opening presents from their other Grandma (Aaron's Mom) Grammy Candy! It is pretty cute.
