I was a little anxious about this birthday, mostly because I'm now a quarter of a century, but also because this was the first birthday that I've ever spent out of the United States.
My little bit of anxiety turned out to be for nothing, this year so many people went out of their way to make my birthday special, and it turned out to be a truly great day.
On Sunday my friend Destiny and her family threw me a very delicious pumpkin themed birthday meal, and surprised me with video messages from my family and friends.
On Tuesday I awoke to a decorated room (by Jodie the night before), and was whisked off to a crater lake with Jodie, Lauren, Bella, Steph, and Maeve (a new friend).
We spent a wonderfully relaxing day at the lake, and then headed into town to meet some more friends for some indian food.
Dinner took hours, and was incredibly spicy, but it's not Uganda without a something going at least a little bit wrong. Nevertheless, dinner was a great time to catch up with friends.
So yeah, birthday well spent. Last year I had absolutely no idea I would be spending my 25th in Uganda, but I am so incredibly thankful that I was able to celebrate here.
