That’s how old I am today. It’s been a really fun birthday spent with some of my favorite people! I teach ESL at the Nashville International Center for Empowerment every Monday & Wednesday morning. Today my students brought cupcakes and chocolate cookies to celebrate my special day! We also took a break from the hard work we’ve been doing and played our own version of Pictionary to practice vocabulary. It was fun, and we laughed a lot! Here’s my bunch – I LOVE them!


Here I am with Mr. Gatluak Thach, the executive director of the center. He is an amazing man with an incredible story. His home country is Sudan. Also pictured are two of my faithful students, Mrs. Esther (from Sudan) and Samsamone (from Laos).


After class, I headed to Hillsboro Village to eat lunch at Fido with my girlfriends, Jenny & Elissa.


Soon after I got home, the doorbell rang and a man was standing on my porch holding these from my mom & sister!


We’re about to head to small group where I’ll get to see some of my other favorite people! All in all, I’d say it’s been a fabulous birthday! I feel extremely blessed!
