Happy Birthday to Me!


I know you have all been waiting and wondering how my birthday went--being in Denmark and all. Well, it was pretty good. We had a great dinner of ham, twice-baked potatoes, green beans, peas, green salad, broccoli salad, and of course cake for dessert (it was a chocolate cake with chocolate pudding frosting with whipped cream). I don't know if you can see, but in the picture, I have a huge mound of whipped cream--Scott's idea, I don't think he knows what it means to stop. As you can see, Dang came over and we had a great time!

Then on Saturday, Dang and I went to the temple and then into Copenhagen. You'll notice that I've not posted any pictures from Saturday--I forgot to take my camera. Don't worry, I'll go back to most of them before I come home so that I can get those pictures that I missed. I've also talked to and/or emailed with many of you either on my day or some time thereafter. I hope that you're all having a great March! Some people have a birthday week, I think that I prefer the idea of a birthday month. Then I won't be offended if you can't remember the exact day.

Angie and Scott are pretty busy getting things ready to move. Trying to sell a bunch of stuff that they just don't want to take back, some electrical things that just won't work and other furniture-type things that they just don't have room for in their house and other food-storage things that the US just doesn't allow you to bring back (even though it was bought in the US). It's going to be a crazy month and a half. We're all getting pretty sick of being in school but we only have five weeks left (of school)!

Still Here

So I was kind-of waiting to post until I had three comments on my Pay-it-Forward post and then I decided that I was right when I wondered if anyone would want anything I will make. Just you wait until you see what I make for Lynette, you'll all wish you'd signed up when you had the chance.

Anyway, this is what I've been up to. Teaching, teaching, teaching. People keeping asking me and this is really the main thing that I do. I have been able to make some sightseeing trips but will post some of those pictures later. Just so you know, I'm alive and well. And although some of you seem to think that when I said "I don't want to sound trunky," I meant that I was. I'm not. I am still having a great time (that was not said, thought or typed in a defensive manner). Every time I walk down the street, get on a bus or go to church, I still think, "Wow, I'm living in Denmark! How many people EVER have the opportunity to say that?" Don't worry, I know that it's not that many because there are only about 5 million people that live here. Guess what? It's my birthday month!
