My birthday was on Wednesday. Birthdays aren't a big deal for me, so I wasn't expecting much and I was not disappointed this year.
When I got to work, I found a gift bag on my desk. Inside was a rather nice looking cookbook focused on baking. What was really clever was that each person in my department had placed a post-it note on the page of the treat they wanted me to bake for them. I thought it pretty funny: my gift was a book, while their gifts will come later when I use my present.
That evening, I met with the Bishop and the Ward Clerk to discuss one of my responsibilities in my new calling. The meeting lasted longer than I expected, but I was happy to be available to serve.
While it might not seem like much, the celebrating isn't over. When I visit the Larsens over the weekend for General Conference, we'll share the cake that Ian baked for me, the first one he's made from scratch.
If birthdays are decent, I consider it a win. With this year's being better than that, I'm more than happy.
