The day before my birthday I presented at the CLMS national conference in front of 80 teachers during the day and then had to give another speech at the dinner at night to celebrate myself and the other 11 regional winners. Once again, it was a glorious night with many great speeches and some that were not so impressive. Family and friends were there to celebrate and we had a great time. We thought that I had a good chance of winning, but they made us come back the following morning to find out the results. Waking me up at 6:00 on a Saturday birthday :( and driving downtown was going to be all worth it when they said my name. They put us all on stage and right when I was about to walk forward and accept the prize for winning they said the guys name next to me. At least Kindra and I thought he was a pretty solid choice so we were happy. We spent the afternoon with my parents and then had a birthday party at the bowling alley and people came back to our place afterwards. Kind of old-school birthday but it was a blast!!
