30'th Birthday Day!

 Monday was my 30'th Birthday and it was a day long event! Ok week long if we're really going to be honest! The festivites started with sweet Bradley bringing me my Favorite Starbucks drink in the morning at work! That definitely woke me up!

At lunch, Audra and I headed to Firehouse subs, one of my FAVES! They give you a free Sandwich on your Birthday! Sweet!
 Audie and I take our best pictures in the car :)
 Audie brought her present for me and I was pretty excited to open it! Yes, that is a "Birthday Princess" pin that you see on my shirt.
 My Gift! It's soooo neat! Audie made this for my Piano Studio, It is well with my soul is my favorite hymn! If you can't tell, the words are cut out of sheet music! WAY COOL!!

They were sooo nice to me at Firehouse Subs! Everyone wished me a happy birthday and then they gave me this stunning hat and proceeded to sing to me! So sweet!!
 Before I left work I got a flower and chocolate delivery from sweet Sheryl. I was so surprised! If you can't tell this is a cake made out of live flowers!
 I wish I was this creative to think of something like that! I'm still in awe of how neat this is!!
After work I went and taught my Monday night Piano Student. I taught her how to play Happy Birthday so she started the lesson off with that. Super cute! What really got me though, and made me all teary eyed, was at the end of the lesson, her Dad got home, he always pops by and says Hi to me, well he came and said HI, I yelled Hi back, and then I heard him say HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I turned around, and he is holding a little plate with the above Pink Cupcake, and a lit candle! Sooooo Sweet! (I seriously got all teary eyed, the most likely thought I was nuts) And before I could blow out my candle and make my wish, my student had to play Happy Birthday for me again. It was just the sweetest thing ever!!

Me and my YUMMY cupcake!
 After work and Piano lessons, I was finally free to go to my annual Olive Garden Birthday dinner! YAYS! I of course, got the same thing I get every year! Salad and breadsticks, with alfredo sauce...
 Stuffed Mushrooms
Chicken Fettucini Alfredo
 I was blessed to have dinner with some super sweet friends! Here I am with Missy. We have known eachother since I was in HS and had hair down to my waist, chicken bangs, and huge glasses! I think she is glad I don't look like that anymore!
It is not a celebration without my Bryna being involved! Here she is with Val, one of my spiritual mentors, and the leader of my beloved women's bible study (and again if you're not in one, you really need to be!)

 Me and my Brynners!!
Val and I!

I was so blessed to have such a nice day surrounded by people that love me! a BIG Thank You to everyone who went out of their way to make me feel so special and cared about!

Here I am 30!! Let's DO This!!

Book Review: The moments you were mine by LJ Evans

  Once again I was lucky enough to be on the ARC team for another book by LJ Evans. Since I have discovered LJ she has become one of my top 5 must read authors. LJ’s books are like Christmas Day. Or your birthday if you’re like me and obnoxiously celebrate both. :) You count down the days until it happens with great expectation and excitement and then it gets there and you almost don’t want it to be there because then it will be over and you have to wait another 364 days for the magic to come by again. Thankfully for all of us LJ writes more than one book a year so we are all #blessed in that aspect. I’m always super excited to get and read her books, but it’s a mixed feeling of not wanting to start reading it because then it will be over, and I can’t wait to read it and see what happens. Oh the struggle of being a book lover! I had some FEELINGS over Parker and Fallon. I felt like they were real people and at several points I wished they were real people so I could take t...

45/52

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...
