for everyone

I had a really wonderful birthday despite spending it half bent over in pain. God was merciful and good, as usual :). My family celebrated on Sunday with my lovely aunt getting yummy steak for us all to eat, it was a feast! And my mum made a nice orange chiffon cake.

On Wednesday itself I was very touched. My mum and Mark had already taken such good care of me this wee. rushing to the A&E with me on Monday night and wheeling me around the hospital for my x ray. On Tuesday Mark came over and we watched Gilmore Girls :). The next day he came at noon - pretending to buy in food for me, but it turned out he had cooked a dish for me - Basil Chicken Surprise! Very yummy. Then he sliced strawberries to eat with ice cream for dessert :).

Then I found out he had been plotting with my best friend so that they would turn up at the birthday dinner he had arranged to bring my family out to that night. I was too ill and in pain to go, though... but was so touched that they were all making the arrangements, especially since my best friend has a baby and it took lots of coordination on her part to come. So he ordered Indian food in and we all had a yummy meal. All this after he had already surprised me a few weeks earlier by pretending to go and meet his friends when he had actually booked tickets to watch the King and I! I was overjoyed. My future husband is one of great surprises :)! My sister Andrea printed photos of the family and mounted them on a frame for the new house. And I got a beautiful card from Shen, my sister in Florida.

Thanks dear :) and to everyone, and most of all to God. Am grateful for yet another year of life He's graciously chosen to give, and for each breathe that I take, it's all from Him :).
