Today is my birthday! Yes the 26th of December. when most, well all people hear that my birthday falls the day after Christmas they get a sad look on their face and say "that sucks! You must be jipped on your gifts. People give you one gift for both days!" "No....", I reply, "I get one gift for Christmas and one gift for my birthday." Granted a few girlfriends have wrapped my birthday gift in Christmas wrap (just don't tell mom). I don't mind my birthday, granted I had no control over that. I let people know that they are two separate days, one is Jesus' day and the next is my day.
So this morning I was expecting to wake at 6am from my dad shaking me in bed yelling "Happy Birthday!" but that didn't happen. Instead I woke on my own at 7:30 and received a text from Monica saying happy birthday. At 8:15 Jason called me and said Happy Birthday then sang happy birthday! How cute is he! He had a urge to call me at midnight, which I would not have mind cause me phone was off. We went to breakfast as a family, a new tradition we started last year, and at the end of the meal Candice says "this will be the last year we go out to breakfast as a family cause Cassandra will be married next year." WHAT!? This was news to me! Then she says "You'll be pregnant" and Greg chimes in "with twins"! Where are my siblings getting their information from? Why does everyone think we'll be married by next year and not just one person (Heather!) but my Aunt said that we'd be married in the summer! Um, I didn't get an engagement ring for Christmas peeps so....calm down. Maybe next year....

Surprises
These are the random surprises that happened to me in the past 48 hours:
1. found a $20 bill on the ground walking to Mervyns ( and this wasn't the 1st time)
2. received a present from one of Jason's small group girls (thanks Megan!)
3. my big brother Aaron loves my boyfriend! (he wants a female version of him)
4. the 3 couples got together for the first time at the Ott's house Thursday
I L-O-V-E, love surprises!

Shondra
Have you ever had someone pronounce your name wrong or call you a different name?
There is a lady in the office who thinks my name is Shondra. No joke! I can see how you can maybe, sometimes, could get Shondra out of Cassandra but I've never heard that before. I get Sandra a lot but I correct them when they pronounce my name. If they spell it wrong on a Starbucks cup I don't care, as long as they don't mess up my drink. So Thursday I wore my name badge and she came in the cafe. I didn't interact with her and we didn't say hello to each other so I am not sure if she read my name badge or not.... She did see me... I will now wear the badge from now on and see what happens. (as the story develops tune in here)
