Thanks everyone for all the birthday wishes on Monday! I heard from all my siblings (even one at 5am!) and the rents, along with a lot of other friends and family! It was great going home for the weekend before and celebrating my birthday with everyone. I got back into town on Sunday night and got to start back at work the next day. I thought you'd like to see a little bit of what my day entailed. If you want to see the entire entry visit my class blog by clicking here. I knew that something was planned because I totally got my friend McKenna to spill the beans. What can I say, I have a gift. However, I wasn't expecting it to be THIS big!
To make a long story short my kids surprised me that morning by all wearing matching t-shirts that said "Happy Birthday Miss Porter!" and they each handed me a Diet Coke as they entered the classroom. It was awesome and I am so excited to be stocked up on DC!!!Here is a great shot of my class! They are totally cheesing it but that's because that day they had A LOT of fun!!! As you can tell some of the shirts were a little on the big side but they were so excited to have them and wore them all day with pride. Many students throughout the school asked me how they could get one of their own. My class felt pretty cool!!!
Check out that mound of Diet Coke - I think I could drink that intravenously for the rest of my life and be ok!!!
And check out all those presents! Everyone was so kind and thoughtful. I couldn't believe all the amazing things people brought me. I got bookmarks, lotion, jewelry, stuffed animals, cards, chapstick, more diet coke, candy, cookies, balloons and lots more! I was super spoiled! Plus right after lunch our secretary walked into the classroom with some beautiful flowers that had just gotten delivered. WOW!!!
Besides all that I had a cake brought in and all my friends and coworkers surprised me at dinner. Everyone was super sneaky! Overall it was a great day and I didn't mind turning 21. In fact, I'm thinking of doing it again next year!!!
