I can't believe I turned 31 today. I would swear I just turned 29! I don't know where the last 2 years have gone but my grandmothers are right, time passes quicker as you get older. I also realized last night/today that I turn 31 4 hours sooner here than if I was home in Nova Scotia! Damn time difference is making me older quicker!
Keith's week so far has been as painful as he expected and they are inundated with loads of work again. He wasn't sure what time he'd be home tonight or if he'd even be able to pick me up a cake. I ended up being at work until 6pm instead of 5:30pm as we were preparing a tender that had to be sent tonight. It worked out really well as Keith had enough time to get to the grocery store (via Speedy), grab a cake and flowers and get home and have it all set up when I arrived. It was great! It made it all the better because I didn't think he'd be able to get anything and then when he was able to, I was so surprised and happy.
We decided not to go out tonight for dinner as it would be too rushed so he went out and picked up Indian takeout. After we ate, Rachel and Speedy came over for some cake. We actually had cake and tea. Haha. I'm so old! Well, they had tea, I had milk. It was quite funny to see the 4 of us sitting around the table eating cake and drinking tea. They brought me a card and novel, The Color Purple. It was so sweet.
I talked to most of the family and received a ton of emails and birthday wishes. A few cards have made it but the others that are on their way will be a bit delayed due to Royal Mail striking tomorrow until next Wednesday. No rush though, it'll just feel like my birthday all over again! Thanks everyone for the cards, gifts, emails, and phone calls! It was a perfect day thanks to everyone, especially Keith.
