Today I turn 30! Whoa... I am 30 years old. It does not feel as scary as I thought it would. While it is hard to leave my 20s behind (people in their 20s just seem young) but I am ready to embrace this new decade! I will be honest, at 30 years old, this is not where I thought I would be. I am not married, I do not have kids, and there is no man anywhere in my future so therefore a husband and kids are pretty far off. But you know what, that is ok. I also did not see myself living in Tunisia (in Africa!) and teaching children from 15 different countries! This is not what I expected but this is right where I am suppose to be! God is in control and I am learning to trust him!
I have been getting the question a lot from friends back home... How are you? How are things going? And truly, they are going great! No, it is not all roses, but I am starting to feel comfortable here! I am starting to get around Tunisia, travel more, and find things more easily. I have friends I can trust and get hugs more than once a week! Zoe loves it here and we are adjusting well! It means the world having her here. Tunisia is really starting to feel like home! I mean... I just called to order sushi (to be delivered!) and she had my number saved in her phone! She knew right where I lived and it made my day! Tunis is my home!
Thank you for all the Voxers today! They made my day! It is hard not being with my family and friends today so I appreciate knowing you are still here! I love you all tons!
Okay on to the pictures! For my birthday, 3 of my closest friends took me to the beach for a weekend away! It meant the world to me and we had such a good time! We rented an apartment that was a walk away from the beach. I loved all the talks, reading books together, eating lots and lots of food, long walks in the beach, playing in the sand, and even getting lost together! I love you, my dear friends!

Thank you to all of you for making my birthday special!
