Blessed...

Best German Birthday Ever!!!

(Here's where the tiger mobile sleeps every night)

Last night we had some birthday festivities at our practice facility.  Just to have a fun time with the Tigers, we celebrated saturday night in the gym.

We did have a fun time, roughly a dozen ish Tigers made their faces known Saturday.  Little BBQ, tunes, football (who would have guessed) and conversation made the night a heck of a German Birthday.  Summed up by the classic Happy Birthday singing at midnight to kick off my 24th year.

You know you're blessed when...

(Host Mom makes you're favorite breakfast dish: company french toast)

"Plan your party..."  I got some recipes and Momma Klietsch sure did it well.  Tastes so good.

(You've got a teammate/roommate/new friend who'll pose with you)

(Mom and Dad)

You've got parents who from thousands of miles away, separated by the Atlantic Ocean, and 7 time zones can make you cry with a birthday card.  I've been blessed by these two and haven't been loved more by anyone, besides my heavenly Father.  

Thank you to all who have my birthday special.
