In case the world didn't know - let me tell them again: I love my family! From the closest to the most distant. Today I got a wonderful package in the mail: a birthday party in a box!
I'm not sure if Aunt Sandy and Uncle Phil tacked that name onto their clever idea before they shipped the package - but that is surely what it is. What was inside? All the makings of a birthday party! A cake, frosting, sprinkles, candles, birthday themed plates and napkins AND BALLOONS!! (Plus some of our favorite coffee and some delicious smelling candles!) Aunt Sandy and Uncle Phil - Thank you so so much!
The birthday in a box couldn't have come at a better time. Summer is when most of the new people move here and start work - so that means lots of new friends! And friends means a party for me :) We've invited all of our friends...well acquaintances..okay - everyone we talk to sociall, to our house on Friday for my birthday. And with the Fourth of July celebrations we really don't have time to plan out a party - so this box is perfect! Now I have all of the decorations I need - just add water!
Because Israel is the size of New Jersey, our friends/colleagues are from all over the country. Some of them travel 10 minutes to work each day while others may travel 4 hours each way! Can you imagine! They literally cross borders every morning and every evening just to get to work. Talk about dedication! I'm not sure they can all make it to my party, but it should be fun either way.
I was thinking about you today when I wrote the date! I hope that you have a great birthday.... know that your friends in America are thinking about you here! :)
