Birthdays

I love coming to Bulgaria in May, because there’s a lot going on in this month, including my mom’s birthday, as well as some of my other friends.

On May 20th, which is my mom’s birthday, we went out to have a girl’s day; we got our hair done, went to a restaurant with my grandma, then shopping, meeting up with friends and dinner with my dad. I just want to say that I have an amazing Mom and I feel so blessed to be her daughter. I love you Mom.

Two Hot Ladies

May 19th was my friend’s birthday, her name is Didi, and she is really cool. We had picnic in Kailuka (the park from my previous post) and played ball. I love Didi she came home from her mission few months ago (she served in Temple Square) and I am really proud of her.

Picnic with the family

My parents wanted to go to the park so we decided to have a picnic and just enjoy the weather and the beautiful nature. So we packed up some food and we went out, it was so nice, just relaxing, walking and talking with my family. Here are some pictures of us and of the nature, it is really pretty.

Gergiovden

Yesterday was Gergiovden or St. George’s Day (in English), it is celebrated in Bulgaria on the 6th of May and traditionally roast lamb (usually whole) is eaten on this day. St. George, the dragon slayer is celebrated as the patron saint of livestock.
I really like this holiday it is all about seeing family and spending time with them and also it is one of the few holidays I get to spend with my family. So my parents and I went to the village to celebrate. I saw my grandparents, got to hang out with my cousins and the food was great.

I am in Bulgaria!

I made it, the trip went really well and I am so happy to be with my family, it is good to be home. My parents are spoiling me so much I feel like a princess. I am still adjusting to the time difference; today I took four hour nap!!!!!!!!!! I am looking forward to the time I have here the things I want to do and people I want to see. I will keep you posted on everything. I love you all!
