Happy Birthday honey!


From the looks of this picture, we could be any where but this is a monumental occasion: Paul's birthday in Fiji. Each of us will only have one birthday while we are away and this is Paul's turn. We made the most of it. First we took cupcakes into our office at the Service Center and shared with all our dear friends at work and then tonight we had 5 of our senior missionary friends over for cake and ice cream. Besides singing "Happy Birthday to you...", here in Fiji they always add "Happy long life to you..." as well. We think that is a great gift of a wish for a long life!



We only attached a small fraction of the total number of birthday candles. We didn't want to set off our smoke detector. Paul did blow them all out at once!
I was pretty pleased with the German Chocolate Cake I managed to create.
(thanks for the delicious frosting recipe Katie)




Would you like a slice? Hurry over... this won't last long!

Happy Birthday to my beloved Eternal Companion! You are the love of my life!
