It’s MY BIRTHDAY!

There are three things I’m grateful for today.

1. Being able to spend time with family
2. Another year of life
3. My free Starbucks drink

Any time I have a free drink, I always order a VENTI soy latte. Two pumps of vanilla. Blonde espresso. And hot.

Thank God you can order on the app so I don’t have to be one of those people that rattles off all the adjectives and special requests.

We are going to head back to Moreno Valley soon. (Yes, we spent the night in Newport again. I recognize that this is NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT efficient or logical. But when you’ve got THREE days left in California with your family, you do NOT operate on logical decisions. My emotions are TAKING OVER). <— You can tell by all those capital letters, y’know?

So, Ankur’s going to drop us off at the apartment and head to work. And then Ishaan and I will immediately walk over to Starbucks and order a birthday drink for me. And a string cheese for him, of course. I will say “happy!” and he will say “berday!” over and over and over again.

And then I will proceed to entertain him with nothing but my empty Starbucks cup and straw because all his toys and books are packed up.

Please pray for me.

Hopefully it’s not too hot so we can just be outside, frolicking around in the dirt.

That’d be ideal.

When Ankur gets done with work, we’ll load up the car with more things and head BACK to Newport Beach to eat dinner with the fam.

And, though we haven’t made a decision yet, I’m thinking it would be the best birthday gift if we could stay the night AGAIN. (Ahem, Ankur. I know you get these posts in your inbox every morning. HINT HINT).

Anyway, the car was picked up yesterday. The apartment is basically empty. And I am one year older today.

Those are all the updates.

I’ll be back tomorrow to tell you if Ankur gave me the best birthday gift or not. PRESSURE IS ON.

Questions of the Day:

What is your birthday drink order?

Are you a logical decision maker? Or an emotional decision maker? (Or a healthy balance of both?)
