Thank you all so much for your kind and thoughtful greetings! I'm truly overwhelmed

. These messages are among the nicest birthday gifts that I've ever received!
Today is my 18th birthday, and to celebrate, I filled out my voter registration forms and purchased my first lottery ticket.

(Though I was a bit surprised and disappointed that I wasn't even asked to show my ID.) This evening, my parents and I also went out to dinner.
Once again, thank you, thank you, thank you all very much! You've made this an especially happy birthday for me!
