cumpleaños :)

Hooray! I am officially no longer a teenager! Yesterday I celebrated 20 years. :) My señora let me choose what I wanted to eat that day, and we cooked lunch together. She bought me a cute shirt too; she's so sweet! Her husband bought me two books too! One book is a Spanish play, and the other is a book of Spanish poetry. After lunch we had a desert that my señora made... it was made from milk, sugar, and cheese, and had cookies and caramel! It was really tasty-- very unlike anything in the US. Later I went out with my friend Nanou to hang out, and then later at night we went out to a Spanish disco to go dancing. It was a lot of fun, we danced the night away to merengue, bachata, salsa, raggaeton, and more. :) It was a great day--on top of all that, I got some wonderful emails from my friends and family, and I hear that my nephew Matthew even blew out some candles for me at home. :) My boyfriend Bradley even sent me flowers!! (See photo). My room smells so fantastic now... He is just so great. :-D Muchas gracias a todos!!
