Birthday Update

Well, I had a great plan for how the day was going to go. But, as often happens when living outside your home culture, things don't go according to plan. It took us much longer than expected to get to Ikea. The girls were miserable traveling, and we had only 45 mins before the store closed by the time we got there. When we got home (a full 5 hours after starting our journey), we couldn't get the video chat to work with my parents. Still got to talk to them a little, but it was frustrating. I did find a good Swedish cheese at Ikea and remembered I had a little wine left over from a few nights ago...but I was really too tired to enjoy them properly.
Such is life in another country.
