Hey y'all. My birthday was this past Friday, and all day I could not stop thinking about how BLESSED I was. My inbox was flooded with birthday wishes from the other co-ops and people in the Bible Study I attend. My NASA bestie put a Birthday balloon on my chair, so people popped into my cube all day to wish me happy birthday. My friend who moved to Stanford on my birthday sent me a package with gifts from China and the Philippines (a beautiful scroll with a painting from China and pearl earrings from the Philippines). My roommate from college sent me a card. My guy friend created a PowerPoint entitled "Krista's Birthday Briefing" and filled it with pictures for my wedding Pinterest (inside joke). I'm not sure if I was crying because I was laughing so hard or because I felt so lucky to have amazing people in my life. Maybe now that I'm 22 I'm just getting sentimental, but when I reflect on where I am right now, at this very moment, I can't help but feel overwhelmed by the amazing family, great friends, and fantastic opportunities God has blessed me with. Seriously. I feel so content right now. I don't feel lonely, even when I'm by myself. I feel happy and complete. I know my family loves me, and I have friends all over the nation. I have people that went out of their way to make my birthday special. Who could ask for more?!?!
Okay, I'm done being sappy! :) Here are some pictures from my special day!

On Saturday, I ran a 5K with three Penn State buddies. I ended up getting third for my age group, so I won a medal! Gary and Brian beat me, and I ran at about a 7:40 mile. But it was fun, and I ran into a Purdue alumni who I met at Purdue Alumni Band last fall... he remembered me! It is a crazy small world!

I got awesome gifts! I love everything so much! I already wore my purse, and I'm going to wear my yoga pants with the green band tomorrow to Dance Jam. I can't wait to watch Moulin Rouge (one of my favorite movies) and go shopping with my NASA bestie!

Yesterday was a sports day... I ran a 5K, watched Kirstyn's soccer game, played soccer, and played football. It was fun!
Hope you all had a good weekend!
