Birthday fun

Well, yesterday was my birthday and it was a good one. This was the first birthday that I spent away from Joplin, but I still felt the love of so many family and friends. I got something like 40 facebook messages, a couple of texts, several phone calls, including both my parents and my newlywed sister and my brother in law. I talked to a good friend on the phone for 30 minutes and received a couple of cards as well. I also received hotwheels from a six-year old and candles from a four year old. Oh, and I got two cakes. So all in all, it was an awesome day. These are truly the best presents anyway, more than money and all the other stuff, just the communication with people you love and knowing that they love you is pretty cool.
