My Birthday!!

We all know I celebrate my Birthday BIG. I am fond of calling it my Birthday week. This year it has stretched out a little bit longer than a week, and I am ok with that! :)

Friday got the weekend started off with a special surprise dropped off by one of my students! A Gigi's cupcake!!! This is how I felt..

 If you've ever had a Gigi's cupcake you understand my excitement. If you haven't, I will pray for you.
 Gigi's cupcakes are the most delicious cupcakes with about 3 inches of frosting. Possibly 4 inches. It's massive and wonderful!
 The only thing better than one Gigi's cupcake is two Gigi's cupcakes. Hashtag Blessed. 
 Friday night I went to Gigi's for my free birthday cupcake, treated myself to Firehouse subs, and then went to Gordman's to redeem the Birthday cash they sent me. I got some yummy smelling body spray, super cheap! Love Gordman's!
 And then on my way to check out the shoes I just happened upon the clearance purse section and ran into this beauty..
 Marked all the way down to 13.00!!!!!!!! I was in love. 
 Saturday it was my Birthday!! I highly recommend having your birthday on the weekend. I got to sleep in, didn't have to set an alarm, or teach, it was glorious!!! My Dad had to work so my parents came later in the day for a birthday dinner and to hang out for a while! It was really nice! I cleaned my house hardcore before they came and set up the cutest table scape that I forgot to take a picture of :( Mom made my favorite ham, and I made some amazing salad, and scalloped potatoes. YUM. I slightly overdid it on the size of our salads, we barely had room for cake. Which I also forgot to take a picture of. Whooops. This year I requested Angel Food Cake for something different. I think it was the first time in 34 years I didn't ask for chocolate cake! Who am I and what is going on???!
 While I was waiting for my parents to arrive I entertained myself by taking pictures. Because, of course.


 I wanted to look cute for my birthday, but it was Saturday, I was sleepy and wanted to be comfy. So I chose my favorite cute and comfy Birchbox sweatshirt to wear!

 Me and my gifts. My Mom loves to wrap gifts and then put them inside other boxes.  So all of my gifts were inside this box and wrapped! One year at Christmas she gave me a big pack of socks and wrapped each sock individually. Thanks Mom.
 Speaking of my Momma, this is one of the best pics we have had together in a long time! She is beautiful inside and out! I don't know what I would do without her! She is truly my best friend!
 And my Dad isn't too shabby either. He was getting tired from a busy day's work, but he still came and celebrated his baby girl's birthday. He works hard for our family and loves us with all he has!
My Parents gave me this really cool "C" that lights up. I put it on the bottom shelf of my sofa table and tried to get a good picture of it. Yeah, I need to work on that. But it is really pretty! I love anything that lights up!

January Recap

  Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

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

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window.  BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it.  I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea
