24 is OLD!!!

So to finish off a ridiculous day of teaching certification tests....my two best friends took me out for a perfect birthday:-) Alli had asked me where I wanted to go for my birthday and I told her Hawaii....soooooo......

Marit and Alli took me to Trader Todd's, a bar not too far from home with a Hawaiian theme. I fit right in with my lei, headband and grass skirt:-) We had picked up our friend Eric on the way and then a couple friends from work showed up at the bar. Lots of surprises....my kind of birthday!

Food was soo good! Jerk seasoned chicken sandwich for me...and Marit I think!

This is Jen (pink lei), Tina (purple lei), and me of course! Jen and I are teaching together now... and having lots of fun with the little punks :-)

Tried to get Eric to model the headband after Alli but I think he was intimidated by how good Alli showed it off....beautiful!

After dinner, we headed back to the apartment and met up with a couple more friends for Alli's homemade cookie sandwiches....and maybe a couple more drinks:-)

A little cuddle time with Marit.

On Monday morning, my actual birthday, I woke up to daffodils and blueberry muffins. She also got me some candy to bring into school for my students (don't worry, I took my share before turning it over to the crazies). It was a perfect way to start my day:-)
