Birthday update and pic link
Hey everyone! I have not been posting recently in case you haven't noticed. It is not like I have been busy or anything but I guess it just seems like there hasn't been anything interesting to post about. BUT we are still here and doing fine. We leave in one and a half weeks and then to Thailand.
I had a great birthday and wish all of my friends and family were here to celebrate with me. Jason, who will from now on be known as The Best Boyfriend EVER, or TBBE for short, made sure that it was a wonderful day for me. We started out the day with yoga and I got flowers from some of my friends at the shala. Then we went to the Metropole for breakfast with some friends. They have a fabulous buffet and the best hashbrown potatoes. I got more flowers and chocolate then (never a wrong combo those two)
Then I got to open presents from TBBE. He got me all sorts of cool things and I was really impressed with his ability to shop for me - always a good sign! We had a baby sitter for lunch and Jason, I mean TBBE and I went to lunch ALONE. It was nice. We went to the Olive Garden, which is not some chain Italian restaurant at all but a really nice Indian restaurant on the outskirts of Mysore.
Then we rented a room at the Metropole. It is a great colonial type hotel with huge rooms, plush beds and television and bathtub! We ate dinner there that night and slept in the next morning. Anyways, it was a great day and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. TBBE indulged me on my BIG DAY even though he doesn't get why birthdays have to be so important :)
So, other than my birhtday we haven't had much else going on. We have had friends leave recenlty and more will leave in the next 2 weeks along with us. We have made some really great friends here and hopefully we will run into them later.
Oh, and here is a picture link. I can't remember of what though...
