on turning 23

Last week was my golden birthday, and it really was awesome.

First, my coworkers surprised me with a decked out room and breakfast. Then, in one of my favorite moments in my classroom so far, my kids spontaneously pig-piled me. All of the sudden I had 22 bodies trying to hug each other and me and it was a moment of pure love. Shortly thereafter, one of my boys, N, started singing happy birthday during a math lesson.

Then, in a fantastic surprise, I got to have dinner in my favorite building in the city -- something I've been wanting to do since I moved here.


Even more than all that, I unabashedly enjoyed having love poured all over me. I got some awesome mail, a beautiful sketch, and sweet melodies on my voicemail, among other things.

Thank you!
