28.

Thats right, i turned 28 on Dec. 17. Wow it feels great, I guess it is true that when you turn 30 you grow into an adult. Anyway i had a blast on my birthday. When i came home David and yoel had balloons and gifts waiting for me with a cake. Although i was fasting and couldn't eat the nice strawberry shortcake i loved to look at it. Marty gave me a jacket which is really expensive, i can tell by the quality and warmth it brings me. David got me a camera which is soo cool but i have to learn all the tricks to it. And of course Yoel, i was wondering what he will give me for my birthday. He got some of my friends to send me videos from Texas and Israel wishing me a Happy birthday. It was a true highlight, i had tears in my eyes and that was my first experience ever crying over happiness. I guess i didn't realize how much people really do care about me and could take that extra mile to just make a video and wish me all the best. I truly loved that. But that wasn't the gift, that was just the icing on the cake. What i really got was a ticket to go Skydiving! Thats right. No more, oh its so cool i have to try it. Now its more about you are GOING skydiving... will i chicken out? hmm i don't know sometimes i feel like i will and sometimes i am strong... army strong.

I also had a nice shabbat dinner with great people and they sure kept me entertained. This is great. To feel like someone is out there caring for you on your special day is the best time ever...

Good times..
