Thursday my office pals decided that the best was to celebrate my birthday was to saranwrap the front of my cubicle and then fill the entire thing with balloons and confetti. I will be finding confetti years from now. In fact, if i ever get another job-the person who sits at my desk after me will probably find confetti. But it made me smile and it was cool to be celebrated. they also took me to red lobster for lunch. Then I went to kankakee for more celebrating with my family, and when i got in the van, scott had left my presents for me (he had to work and couldn't travel with me to kankakee). I got some cool stuff from the family...and it was fun to hang out and show off my MINIVAN. I also got some flowers delivered to me at work, phone calls and emails from a few friends...so yeah. it was a good day all in all.
Friday we went to indoor camp (oh traditional nazarenes UNITE!) we hung out with the kids, enjoyed Jesus, and then illini skateland. We didn't get back to the church until after midnite, but thats all good because the quiz was in danville. the quiz went--typical. undefeated during the round robin, and then 2nd in finals (at least they weren't third-i was totally stressin!). Brian decided to announce that he is stepping down as district director and (the secret you've all been waiting for) SCOTT AND I ARE TAKING OVER next year. So thats exciting. and scary. we've got lots of ideas, but getting them to work out--we'll see. Pray for us. Oh, and the kids are having a dinner. Go to scott's journal for all the info.
I'm sure there is more news, i just can't think of it. It's almost Ohio time. Oh, and my grandma sent me this really cool email--maybe i'll share it later.

I suppose confetti would be better than dried marshmallows, don't you think? Or baby powder? :) Ah, the good old days. I was thinking about car wars the other day and how there is still random bits of snow on the ground around here.
Happy birthday to you!! I celebrate you and our friendship and the many, many memories we have together. I love you and miss you! When are you going to come visit, darn you??
Simon and Laura have an MPV! It's pretty cool. The volume knob is hard to reach when it's in gear, though. Does yours have steering wheel radio controls?
