B-Day Celeb...

My birthday this year was very interesting :) First of all, I almost forgot about my b-day...other people had to remind me. People all around me were asking, "so...what are you doing on your b-day?" Because I've been so busy (my fault for not saying NO!), I didn't have time to plan for it. But, it was good. On Saturday, I invited the "girls" over for a little get-together on the patio. Funny thing (well, not so funny)...our ignitor on the BBQ wasn't working, so I burned a piece of paper and decided to throw it in there...not knowing that I had the gas running pretty high on the grill. As soon as I touched the grill with the fire...well...you can guess what happened next. Yup. My arm hairs burned off. It was pretty scary.

It was good to have girl talk, chatting about guys, life, insecurities...you know...girl stuff. It was especially good to talk about what God's been doing in our lives. I love being used by Him!

Another highlight was the Sunday celeb. Some people from Milal decided to take me out for my b-day. I thought that it was going to be a small celebration, but it turned out to be pretty huge... I didn't even know a lot of them really well. When I got there, Sayah handed me a box (Books for Christ Label). I looked inside to see two books (one by one of my fav Christian author, Joe Stowell) and a DVD package of Ilumina. The Ilumina would be great for my Biblical Studies at Tyndale (if and when I get in). I'm thankful that God gave me such great friends to know exactly what I need :)

Stopped by Galleria (a Korean Mega Supermarket) for some delicious ice cream, bumped into a Chinese woman with the cutest dog named Lily and then went home. Left the house again to meet Alicia, Shannon and some of their churchmates at Milestones then headed off to pick up Melissa at the airport (she's the girl that went to Cambodia). It was a packed, but good day :)
