So I never wrote to y'all about my bday. Thanks to my wonderful friends, my bday was excellent. We had our project workshop/reconnect on that day so I actually got to be will all of my friends. I was really worried that I was going to be alone and that it was going to be sad. But actually I was with the entire Health team and all my fav's minus my vecino Fernando! I made a big deal that my bday was on reconnect and I know everyone was sick of hearing when my bday was by the end of it....but I got to thinking why that was. And I think that it is mainly because I knew that I was going to be sad on that day because I wouldn't be with the people from home and my family. I was sad not to see gma, get hugs from mom, dad, ang and bob. Sad not to get spoiled by Olivia and see her family (although we did celebrate when I was at home....exactly 1 month prior to my bday) But all in all, I had an excellent birthday surrounded by all the new friends I have made in this wonderful journey so far.
I think I am very blessed with having such great friends who go through the trouble to make me cards and cupcakes. Who have stressful days running around to every ATM in the greater San Pedro Sula area because the stinkin Gallo mas Gallo doesn't take credit card....just so they can buy a toaster oven to make me a dozen chocolate cupcakes (Thanks Katie!) with gummy bears on top (Thanks Linda!)

Hi Kristina-I'm over your mom"s for a turkey dinner. I've been reading your blog and found it interesting and parts of it very scary. Enjoyed the pictures with your b-day cupcakes. It's amazing that you're so far away and your mom can still keep in touch. Love you!!
Hey Sis--Nice b-day and apartment pics. It was nice talking to you on my b-day. Bob was 2 days late, but at least he called. Now that you have internet at home you can keep in touch more with all of us. Hope to talk to you soon. Love you!!--Ang.
