Birthday!

Okay, yesterday was my birthday. I am now 25 years old.

My day was really good, my Dad called me and we talked for awhile. He actually asked how school is going and if I liked my classes! (Dad is a firm believer in hard work replacing the need for a degree.)

Then in the afternoon the kids on my bus sang Happy Birthday to me! Even the older, "I'm too cool to ride the bus but mommy won't let me have her car." kids!! It was sooo sweet I wanted to cry! A lot of the kids hugged me and said Happy Birthday as they got off the bus. I love those little brat's! I've been thinking about switching over to a different district because I could get medical insurance which I don't have now and they pay more. But, I have desided that I am staying put. I found out the hard way that more money or benefits does not a better job make. I like my job, I like my co-workers, I like the kids. I enjoy going to work - even at 6:10AM!!!! Anybody who's known me for awhile would know that left to my own devises I would be awake from like noon until 4-5 am. I am a night owl. So liking this job even at 6:10 in the frikkin' morning is a BIG deal.

My mom took me out last night with friends for dinner and we had a blast. We stayed until they started turning off lights and then stood around in the parking lot talking for another hour! Matt and Kristyn drove all the way from Stephenville just for me! :) Karen and Myca were there and all talked and laughed for hours. It was a really great night. All in all I'd say I had a fantastic birthday!
