Aw man! I had the craziest, coolest bday ever! My best friend was supposed to come to town but she couldn't make it, so I was trying not to be bummed out and secretly hoping she would just pop up, lol! My first lady and her family are like my family here in Cali, but two of her older boys left for college on Saturday, the oldest daughter left town, and then she found out she had to leave town on an emergency. After church yesterday I felt a little pitiful that all of my bday plans were wrecked. But my friend's husband was speaking in Oakland, so I decided to head over there and at least hear a good word. I texted her to tell her I was coming, and she was like come on and we're gonna celebrate after church! Man! They took me out after service, bought me a beautiful card and gift... it turned out to be an awesome day! All day long I got calls, texts, FB posts and messages, with birthday wishes. It was such a blessing.
