Next Milestone: 44 years away....

Happy Birthday to me! You know, one of the good things about having my birthday in Korea is that I get to celebrate it for 38 hours. Can't beat that. I joke with people that 21 is kind of a depressing age. I mean you grow up waiting on important birthdays. I mean you got 13, 16, 18, and then 21, but after 21 what's left...65! Anyway, I'm definitely blessed to see another year. I've now spent my last four birthdays away from home and away from my family. Two of those birthdays were in a foreign country. I mean don't even know how it feels to spend a birthday with family anyway more, it's kind of depressing. But if I'm learning anything as I get older it's this. That special family time isn't centered around special holidays or birthdays, but it's when nothing is planned, nothing is done out of the ordinary, and we're just sitting around enjoying each other's company.
Well, it's almost time for class so I better go prepare!
