My birthday was so special, just perfect. I didn't want anything big just time with my people--my family and close friends who have become family. My morning started with my sweet kiddos jumping on my bed with a "Happy Birthday!" At school, Jess surprised me with some beautiful flowers and a painting done by Tae. I felt so loved with the thoughtful cards my friends gave me. I am definitely blessed.
The night before my big day we went to a delicious dinner with some friends. I am grateful for my tribe and how they feed my soul.
In Hong Kong we did anything we couldn't do with the kids...which was basically all the things. On Friday and Saturday morning we walked the narrow and steep hills in Central, ate slowly at restaurants, took naps, had no schedule, shopped, and just enjoyed the alone time.
Saturday afternoon we headed to Stanley to hang out with our dear friend Kristi. I always love spending time with her, she has an aura about her that makes me feel at home and connected wherever we are. Jess cooked an incredible meal of lamb, pork, steak, creamed spinach, and roasted potatoes! Kristi pulled through with a divine chocolate and peanut butter cake. We hung out on her rooftop and watched the sunset.
Here's to 36! I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for me this year.
