As you know, I ended up not having a birthday party as I was originally planning to do. For the actual birthday, I didn’t want to do much of anything. I told Igwe that we should just go to The Cheesecake Factory and call it a night. We both love The Cheesecake Factory, and we go there so much that we don’t even look at the menu before ordering.<\/p>\n

Before dinner, I first stopped at Toby’s house. Toby is my little cousin and we share the same birthday. He was supposed to be born in April, but he came 3 months early on my birthday. He’s 12 now, and I still can’t understand why he came 3 months early … and on my birthday. Anyway, I went over to the house to give him a cake and he decided he’d like to follow us to dinner.<\/p>\n

I sincerely regret not taking my “real” camera. I thought it’d just be me and Igwe and maneuvering the camera to take pictures of both of us would have been a hassle. So I took these pictures with my phone. I promise to do better next time. On the plus side, it was really nice hanging out with him. We don’t get to hang out enough at all.<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading. One of the things I hope to do this year is show you more pictures. Walahi, being anonymous for so long has made me so used to not posting pictures (or taking pictures). I always remember after the fact. I envy people that have so many pictures of themselves on their blogs. I will do better.<\/p>\n

Oh, how could I forget to mention that Funmie came to my job to surprise me with cake. Does your friend do that for you? I didn’t think so. Well, my Funmie does. Thank you, Funmie!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
