Brooklyn to China

We have made some really great friends here. We usually celebrate birthdays together. It is a great excuse to party. So when Garvin turned 30 we took a trip to our favorite club “Enjoy”. Lester stayed home with Mayehu that day so I could party.

I’ve never had a birthday party before. Not officially, with guests and gifts and the whole outfit. That is until I came to China. December 21st was my third birthday since I my husband and I met, and I happened to mention that I have never had a real birthday party. So he decided to throw me a surprise one. So sweet. And totally impossible since we spend every moment of every day together. It was a tremendous effort, and I love his determination. He almost got me. But surprised or not I know how fortunate I am to have someone like Lester in my life.

The best part about that night was seeing all the people who played a role in keeping the secret, and came out on that night. I love you guys.
