Happy Birthday!

It was my birthday (Airika's, that is) on Sunday and on Friday I was actually preparing myself for a pretty normal birthday...going to lunch with my coworkers, my family going out to eat, and Gerald forgettting to get me a present in time. :) On top of that, I was preparing to share "my" special day with my mother, since it was also Mother's Day (I was born on Mom's Day too!). It's a good thing that my mom and I shared our special day though, because my younger sister Hannah decided to surprise both of us by flying in from Philadelphia to visit us for the weekend! I was completely shocked and very happy. It was an awesome present not only because I got to see her, but also because she actually managed to surprise me, which very few people have ever been successful at!

The other cool "surprise" (although I already knew what it was)of the day was that Gerald had remembered to buy me a birthday present! ;) He and my parents bought me a beautiful amber necklace that I tried on in a unique African boutique shop in La Jolla last month! Here's a picture of my new necklace! (I still need to take one of me wearing it!
I'll post another pic when I wear it for the first time! Thanks everybody for all your facebook birthday messages and emails. All in all, I had a great 28th birthday!
