The surprise Birthday party was truly a surprise!
I had no Clue.
I thought I was on my way to do presentation and was little nervous about doing it. As the door opened, a banner hung on the wall saying Happy Birthday. My first thought was whos birthday is it? Then Word DOH! Hit me.
It was humbling to see past and presents students,family and friends. I can say with out a doubt it was very touching to me and that I am once again truly blessed by those around me.
I am always giving my students a hard time about doing better and so tonight my students decided to give me a hard time. They decided that if one should talk about Ninja Turtles one should become the Ninja Turtle. I am still laughing at the photos. Click Here for photos. A fun night with good food and dancing. It will be night that I will never forget.
Thank You guys and gals for the wonderful night!
