I'm 30!!

I have turned a new leaf in life. I have now began my 4th decade of living. It makes me sound old when I put it that way. I still feel young though so I am not worried. I am reminded of Molly Shannon when she would say "I'm 50!!!" and strike a triumphant pose. I am not 50 yet but I am still proud I have made it this far in life. I spent my birthday sitting in hours upon hours of labs and lectures only to come home to study for even more hours. Yet, I still had a good birthday. The night before Kuulei surprised me with a little surprise party with some people in the branch here. I was surprised as ever and enjoyed having cake, ice cream, and homemade HOT FUDGE! I don't think it matters what you do for your birthday, it matters who you spend it with. I have grown to love my fellow students and their families and I can't say enough about how awesome Kuulei is. My friends at school all gave me a card and I have grown to love them too. Of course, I could not be with my family but I got to read emails and got a skype call so that is just as good. I was surrounded by people I love for my birthday. I think it doesn't get much better than that :)
