happy belated birthday to me...

yesterday was indeed my birthday,
as un-special of a number it is,
it has a significant meaning to it for me.
i haven't had people celebrate it on that date,
for various reasons i don't feel like explaining.

i realized once again how great my friends are,
all the text messages, phone calls, and surprise in the morning to sing to me and give me a cake.
i really appreciate it,
and i don't think they really know how happy it made me feel.
all the little things that they do,
that anyone does...
because i know they didn't have to,
i know they did it because they care.
and that's more than enough for me.

my sisters were pretty amazing,
they surprised me with balloons and a starbucks card (knowing i'm a starbucks addict)
and i thought that was it,
i was grateful to have little sisters like them, so thoughtful and caring.
but then after dinner they surprised me with new Toms! :]

and my madre,
even though she doesn't have a lot of money or know what i want,
she went deep into her pockets and gave me money so i can pay off some of my debt.
thanks mom,
from the bottom of my heart.

after dinner with my family i decided i wanted to go to scoops,
i was pretty bummed that the others couldn't make it,
but they already made other plans so i mean i really don't want to take them away from those obligations.
it was really sweet of the guys to want to drop everything and go,
but what can i say,
i'm a good convincer.
besides thursday will most def make up for it!

overall,
my birthday was great.
thank you everyone for everything.
i love you guys!
