Sharon's Birthday!

Birthdays are definitely one of the hardest times for me to be away from home. Not just my family, I can't remember the last time I celebrated a birthday with my family, but just being away in general. My second year in Korea was a lot better than the first, and I have a feeling my first year here in Guatemala will be hard. By the time the second May rolled around in Korea, I felt like I had my Korean family there. I don't feel like I have my Guatemalan family yet. It will come, I have no doubt, but I haven't found it yet. And this year is the big 3-0. But anyway, all that to say, we had a little celebration for our friend Sharon to help her celebrate her birthday. I had class that evening so I arrived late, but got there in time for a delicious dessert. We had chocolate fondue with a bunch of different fruits and things to dip into the chocolate. It was perfect.

Here is Stephanie slaving away on the stove over the melting chocolate! :)

All the yummy things to dip into the chocolate along with Sharon's birthday plate!

Serving it up! (And yes those are my papers I was grading at the party at the end of the table!! ha ha)

First time I've seen candles stuck in pineapple chunks! :) It worked.

The happy birthday girl!

Blow out all your candles!

What a fun night and a great group of gals!
