Today was my 24th birthday! My Wednesdays are typically my busiest day of the week because after work I volunteer. This was my first birthday where I wasn’t spending my evening studying for finals, so I was just happy to be able to enjoy my day without stressing over exams.
When I got to work I was greeted with a huge surprise! Allana had baked cupcakes for me and had strung up a Happy Birthday banner in my office. She also picked up a cupcake recipe book for me since she knows I love cupcakes (they’re a major weakness of mine!). Needless to say I was extremely surprised and was very grateful for her! We had plenty of cupcakes to share so we walked around the hospital and shared cupcakes with coworkers until we were low.
Later in the morning Lake Pointe’s two administrative secretaries surprised me with a Happy Birthday balloon and a bag of caramel popcorn! I tend to be very low-key about my own birthday, so I was extremely thankful and humbled by how kind everyone was!
After work I headed to volunteering where I spent time chatting with my group of middle schoolers about what their holiday plans are. It was a nice way to end my day!
