My Birthday

Hello Everyone! I have officially made my own blog. I will try to post regularly but as most as you know I tend to fall behind on things. I'll mostly probably just be posting little stories about my time here in Africa. (If I keep blogging until I come back then I'll do it then too!) Well I guess I'll start with my birthday....hmmmmmmm. Well I started a new term on my birthday which kind of stank but it was good to see all my friends again. My dad drove me to school and then when I came home we had a big lunch. Jordan had her friend, Yalenga, over with her mom. After lunch Yalenga's mom went back to work and I opened my first gift. It was two African skirt wraps. One for me and one for Jordan. I got to pick which one I wanted though. Mine is green with blue and it has all different designs on it. I'll definitely bring it back to Allentown. Then we went to a pool at a hotel near where I live. Yalenga is a member of it so we got in for free! The pool is really cool because it's a circle so the shallow end is all around the edge and the deepest part is in the middle but the water was freezing and it took me a while to get in. We swam for a couple of hours and then went home. When I got home there were all balloons on the wall that my dad had put up! We had a little cake that Yalenga's mom had brought. I opened a couple of my presents. Jordan gave me a stuffed animal dog and my mom and dad gave me Chinese checkers. Then Yalenga went home and we had dinner. During dinner I opened the rest of my presents. I got a cool african book, a lamp that is a piece of pottery and has a giraffe painted on it, and a bag of candy. I think that's it but I can't really remember! :) I also got a package from my grandparents that had lots of good candy that we can't get here. So I didn't get very big stuff but that's just because there isn't really anything here that I wanted but it was still a lot of fun. Well this is getting really long! Until next time......:)
