Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday. Nate and I invited people over to eat cake. It was funny because when people first arrived Nate said, "I don't know what to do now". That is exactly how I felt. We like people, we just don't know how to entertain them... What to do with them. Nate's mom was also here. She is great with people. Nate said to me a few times, "She's so good at that." ... He meant she is really good at talking to people. Anyways, despite our lack of social charms, it was fun to have people over.

There are more people I could have invited, but our house isn't big enough for a very large crowd... I mean that because there are so many people that visited me in the hospital, and that prayed for me with their families, and mothers who donated milk for little N. These are the people I thought about and who I wanted to feed cake... And I feel bad that there are people I should have invited but I didn't, because I was worried about too many coming... But of course as luck would have it, not everyone could come and we had room and cake for more. I'm rambling. I guess my point is, I'm full of gratitude for our new friends in Omaha who rooted for my recovery... And there are many more who I wish I could have fed.

For those that did come, It was my pleasure to be able to make the most delicious, and complicated cake I know how to make, to share with them on my birthday.
