another trip around the sun

twenty three. that's really hard to believe.
this is the cake from my birthday party friday afternoon at work.

saturday afternoon, drew and carrie rolled in with sushi from umi in a cooler (as some of you are aware we don't have sushi in greenwood, so i was so excited, "i sobbed").
then rach, erika and katie got to the house and we went to "the help" book reading downtown.
viola, octavia, ahna, chris and bryce read their parts from the book. they did an awesome job.
it is so cool to see how much this book (and hopefully this movie) has really touched people.

then about 25 of us went to nola (a resturant in indianola to eat supper).... in a limo. thank you wanda girl.
so thankful to have such wonderful friends.
