Birthday/Anniversary Weekend!

I would like to again say thank you for all of the birthday love I received from Canada!   All of the mail has made me smile.  I have also been beyond spoiled here in Korea.  We had such a fun weekend!
The celebrations began Thursday with Ben and my 4th anniversary!  We always agree on Indian food and beer.  AWWWWHHH :) <3!

Next, was the work celebrations! These are my youngest students, they are seven.  They just died that teacher Brian came to the party.  We made hats, ate treats, danced and watched Arthur.

After was the office cake surprise!

Then came the after hour rooftop work BBQ!  This involved A LOT of SOMEC (soju + Beer) and A LOT of meat...and a few speeches.

Saturday, the day of birth, brought us to the football field.  Go # 12!!  Then out for dinner with friends followed by a free outdoor concert in the park right in front of our place.  We let some Chinese lanterns go into the night and enjoyed the privileges of being able to drink in public in Korea.

NEXT, was the biggest surprise everrrr!  Ben, a few of my girlfriends and my favourite bar arranged a surprise party for me!  Unfortunately, I do not have many pictures of this buuuuut check Facebook for a very charming video.  I felt so loved and was TOTALLY surprised.  Vodka, ice-cream cake and Lady Gaga...how did these people get to know me so well so fast?  Definitely, a birthday for the books that I will never ever forget.   I am so lucky.
