The Unexpected

I think one of my favorite things about my birthday is the unexpected kindness of others. This year was no exception and probably reached a new level of kindness from others. I will just share a few with you (although, there are many others)...

The Tulip Festival: My birthday evening was filled with unexpected plans and surprises from my dear friends. The first surprise of the evening was a trip to the tulip festival and it was beautiful!...
Cutest Cup Cakes: Thursday at work, a co-worker of mine brought me these cute cup cakes. He said he settled for store bought after his home-made cup cakes didn't turn out so well...
An Amazing Bouquet of Flowers: These arrived from an unexpected friend. He was so nice to send them to me and he picked such an amazing arrangements, the colors are incredible...
A Beautiful Bird of Paradise: Maga (my grandma) and I have a special bond with my birthday since it just happens to fall on "Lei Day" in Hawaii. We spent my 12 year old birthday there together and have celebrated both holidays ever since...

There were many more birthday surprises and such nice gestures that I could go on and on, but I thought I would highlight just a few.



My birthday is over (although the celebrations are not) and it will be another 365 days until my next one, might as well start the countdown now. A much more detailed post is coming and boy do I have a lot to report. Thanks to all of you who put so much effort into making my birthday so wonderful. I am so lucky to have such great people in my life.
