I had such a fun week. We celebrated my birthday. It started out with celebrating a few days early by eating at Joy Luck (a Chinese restaurant). The kids ordered strawberry Italian Sodas. We then enjoyed a big dinner of cream cheese puffs, egg drop soup, strawberry chicken, sweet and sour chicken, peeking ribs, cashew vegetables, and black bean asparagus. The food was delicious and I had left overs for lunch for the next 3 days.
On my actual birthday, I was surprised at work by the family. They brought me 2 dozen red roses, a bag of Lindt chocolates and some birthday cards. Xadia and Jacinda made me cards. Jacinda took time to sketch a character on her card. I love the cards. I taped them to my wall at work so that every time I need a break from work I just look to my right and see the cards and it reminds me how much I am loved.
After I got home, we had a nice pot of macaroni and cheese for dinner, that is what Teagan wanted. I do not like mac and cheese but I was not very hungry so there was not need to argue. After dinner, Tim and I went to the temple. Because of a policy change, I got to witness a bunch of sealings. It was a tender experience.
Thursday was the tech trek. Xadia and Teagan had a great time running laps at the school to raise money. There was a lot of kids and the music was so loud. I was exhausted. Usually I run laps with the kids but after about 7 laps I had to sit down. The kids did a good job and had a lot of fun running with their friends and eating snow cones. I am so thankful they get to have this experience because it helps build their character in a positive way.
