I guess it's been a while since I've posted on here. Things are in full swing around here with work and other obligations. I feel like I hardly had time to have a birthday, but I did. Oct. 20 was my 32 birthday. Hard to believe in one way, but the number didn't really phase me. 31 was the hard one for me, as I think 35 or 36 will be later. The people in my office at work think I'm just a baby, so that makes me feel younger too. I spent the day teaching, but only had two classes, so that was nice. I also received flowers, one plant from friends Jeff and Kelly, and my usual monthly rose bouquet from Ken. Lovely!
That evening, I went to dinner at one of the very nice Italian restaurants in town called My Verona. I haven't been there so it was a real treat to try it. Melissa, Audra, Nadia and I had a wonderful time, and Nadia treated me to a luscious and very decadent dessert! She insisted on getting a picture of me blowing out the candle.
I also received some birthday Beef & Noodle soup from grandma, which is the best! She made me three containers full: one to eat that week and two to freeze. In all, a wonderful birthday. I was sad Ken couldn't be here, but he will be here in the years to come. Now it's back to grading those piles of papers stacked on my kitchen table.
