Happy Birthday to Me

My birthday was actually a few weeks ago, but the unfortunate passing of J1's grandfather caused the celebration to be temporarily postponed. This past Saturday night, we all got together at Acqua to do a little celebrating.

It was really a rather amazing night. I can't believe how many people came out to have dinner and celebrate my birthday. I was really touched -- it was such a great time and all the people who came were so great. I seriously had a strong emotional reaction to all of it. It just felt so good to be loved, I guess you could say.

Here are some pictures of the festivities:


Me and my beautiful date for the evening.


Me and R3, whose actual birthday was Sept. 10. So it was a little double-birthday-party action.


My law school friends: S2, S3, R2D2, R3, K2, and Avani. The only one missing is A3, who is currently in Amsterdam.


Front row: J2E, S1. Back row: Me and K1.


J1's current roommate Grace, her old roommate and longtime friend Jen, her friend from grad school, Ayako, and K1.

All in all, it was a great evening, and a big thanks to everyone to came and made my un-birthday so much fun.
