Birthday week

Turning 33 this week has certainly been fun! I started last weekend when my friend Deanna came up with her daughter and new 2 1/2 month old son. We had a great weekend just hanging around the house. Dee thought she was neglecting her daughter because she basically didn't see her the whole weekend, but I don't think anyone could have paid more attention to her than my daughter! My parents joined us Saturday afternoon to celebrate. I woke up Tuesday to my daughter singing happy birthday which was wonderful! Soon the balloons from Gustavo came in! I went to work for about 3 hours and went to lunch with my friend and off to Girl Scouts. I think I am the only person that would purposefully plan a meeting on my own birthday. I had ice cream sandwiches as a treat with the girls and some of my friends at the school came and celebrated with us. Gustavo took Ema and I to dinner that evening. This weekend I am going to an indian restaurant with my in-laws to continue. I seem to really be milking it this year! I am so thankful to be 33. the alternative would have been absolutely no fun!

My boss's last day was yesterday, so I am now officially the only person working for the University of South Florida on the One Community Partnership Grant. My job is over in September and I will be going back to school at Florida International University. I got a full music scholarship and will be finishing my music degree. I am in the midst of applying for jobs in Miami that I can do while going to school. I am going to do it slowly so it should take about 2 years.

Well-that's it for now. I have to get ready to go teach music lessons!
