A Pleasant Surprise

I'm not one to toot my own horn

but....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

to me!

Today was one of those birthdays that I will never forget.

I spent my 19th birthday in the city of Jerusalem.

Took two final exams in the morning.

Listened to 'Happy Birthday' a dozen times before 12 o'clock.

Did a little service for the people of the city.

Got out of the building after three days of studying with some of the best people I know.

Today was a day all for celebration!

The students ended the day with a trip to the Western Wall, one of my favorite places in the entire city.

Coming home to the Jerusalem Center, I went and called my Mother...

for my birthday.

Strange?

I had a pleasant surprise while I was talking to her.

My adorable niece, Mabey Ann, wished me a happy birthday over the phone.

This almost brought me to tears.

She is the cutest, blondest, and most thoughtful six year old I have ever known.

And I am proud to call her my own.



It was a wonderful way to end a spectacular day.

Thank you ALL!
