My Birthday

My birthday was July 3, and I was off work for the 3rd and 4th. Anne and I went to Ohio to see my parents and Scott. Scott made me a birthday cake that looked like the American flag, with red raspberries for the stripes and blueberries for the blue part. I got a new drawing pad that connects to my laptop from my Mom & Dad. Scott gave me a variety of presents including a percussion instrument called a "Donkey Call," but Marlowe always called it a vibra-slap. I got birthday wishes on facebook and myspace from most of my former youth group girls—Morgan, Emily, Shelley, Kenna, Brittney, Erica, even Julie Thompson. The boys didn't do as well, but John and Justin called to say hello. One of the high points was meeting my friend Jon (from school) for breakfast at Bob Evans. I love being at home for the summer, but I miss my friends from school too.
