Birthday Abroad

My first (and I'm sure not last) bit of homsickness set in yesterday. Not the "I want to go back to Portland" kind but the "I really miss my friends & family" kind. Those that know me well know that I'm a big birthday person. I usually have birthday parties with friends and joint birthday celebrations with family. I certainly missed seeing all my friends today and ringing in another year with my Dad & Father-in-Law.

It is also our anniversary today. It's amazing to think about where Adam and I have been together in 9 years. College degrees, moving states, buying houses, starting our careers, having children, moving to a different country...and I'm thankful we've done it all together.

Being that August 9th is actually a National Holiday in Singapore, we had the day off. So...in 31 years, I've still never had to go to school or work on my birthday!

Excellent Thai food lunch in Holland Village with Liz & Jill

Much needed pedicures :)


Cheers to another year!
