I am 20!!

Or I should probably say "we are 20," Kenna and I work the same shift together in the same school and our classrooms are actually connected. We sleep in the same room, we go to work, church, or any other activity together, we eat together... what I am getting at here is that I share pretty much everything with this girl, and it just so happens that we share our birthday too.

"Hoppy Birthday Ribeka!"

"Hoppy Birthday MiKena!"

GREEN GRASS!!! It was so nice to see,
thanks mother nature for the birthday present! 

At school they had a cake for us!!
And we didn't have to teach our first two classes, it was great!! 

So this is called a "Kiev Cake"

I really enlarged this photo so you could see it. It was crunchy with what seemed like layers of pure butter and sugar. It was good, just EXTREMELY sweet.. and different. 

There is a lady here at work that is always around helping clean up. She works for the school kind of behind the scenes.. we had no idea she could speak english!! This was such a sweet surprise!

Another fun surprise!! The kids made Kenna and I crowns and bracelets!! It was so cute!! I really do love my students! 

We had fun lighting sparklers on the pedestrian bridge here in Kiev. It was awesome!

SO we went out to dinner for pizza and Sushi.. I decided I'd try sushi again. Yep. STILL DON'T LIKE IT. 

We also managed to get 2 meters (6 feet) of pizza. 

At home Lena and Oleg had Kiev cake for us again! and we each had our own cake. It was sweet. 

С днем рождения
