I just had the coolest birthday party! It’s definitely on the top of any that I’ve ever had. The sisters and kids wanted to throw me a party here tonight, since me and a lot of the kids won’t be here due to the vacations. It was so awesome. The arranged the whole eating room and put Mexican themed table clothes and a delicious cake (with some Mexican cartoon character on it) to top it off! We all had hamburgers and French fries before, which were really great. Before they started to eat they all started singing and chanting. Some of the little ones were chanting, “I want to sit by Blake”.

I found out that it’s traditional to have to face pushed into your birthday cake, haha. First they turned off all the lights in the eating room and had me blow out all the candles (yep that’s right all 25). After I blew all of the candles out they were all chanting for me to take a bit out of the cake and as soon as I did I got my faced pushed in. I really loved it. I’ve never experienced a birthday like this before.

Before I left from Tepa last time I gave Sor Carmin some money to buy some piñatas for the ninos at that time I didn’t know if I would be coming back or not so I wanted her to do that for me. Well she hadn’t and she bought them today. It was so awesome to see how ecstatic the kids got when they heard there were piñatas. So after were done eating and I was finished cleaning my face, we went out side to do that. I got to be one of the pullers for the piñatas and I also went up to swing, haha I didn’t do to well. This was definitely a memorable day.

So as I said they kids are going on vacations and so am I. I’m going with Roberto to Tepalpa. I know it looked similar to the name of the town I’m at now but it’s different. It’s a small Rancho that’s up in the Mountains. It’s about 3 hours away from where I am now. I’m not sure if I’ll have internet access while I’m there so this my last post for a little while. I’ll be there for a week. And when I come back I’ll be 25! Well in my mind I’m already 25! That fiesta definitely made me feel like I’ve turned a different age. Now to do what 25 year olders do. I’m not to sure what that is. Well I don’t consider my self to be the typical 25 year old, haha.
