Hello Twenty

Hello Twenty. I welcomed you yesterday with a bit of trepidation, a bit of anticipation, a lot of impassivity, and a wicked headache. I was awake at 7:16, with no desire to yet face the day. Casting Crowns eased me back into rest until a more decent hour for a WOLBI student on a Monday morning after a weekend of counseling. Lunch was full of other students wishing me a happy birthday and teasing me about being old. The afternoon was uneventful, except for a nice package from home, brimming with glitter and pictures from siblings, and a long chat with my mom. Dinner with the brother dorm and study hours memorizing my verses for the quiz. Nothing super exciting, which was favorable, considering my health. And just when I thought my day was going to be completely laid back, my suite mates threw me a surprise party at 9 o'clock at night! Complete with balloons (taped to the ceiling to avoid allergic reactions), pop tarts, testimonies, and laughs, it was the perfect way to welcome in Twenty. So hello Twenty, and goodbye Teens. It was nice knowing you. Not sure what I'm going to do with Twenty and friends, but I'm sure it will be oh so great!
