8/52- The Start of my Birthday Week!!!!

Last week's weather can be summed up in two words. Wind and Rain. And my hair forecasted the weather QUITE well. it was huge and massively curly all week long.
Wednesday the countdown to my birthday got serious! Less than a week!
I posted this on IG, but I have to laugh when I see this picture. All I can see is my pianist fingers and the space between my pinky and ring fingers. # I like big chords and I cannot lie!

So Thursdays I don't teach until later in the afternoon. I Always think I will get a ton of work done at home and on the computer. And I usually end up running errands. That day I had a chiro apt, and then had to run to Aldi for groceries to make my special Sunday lunch for my birthday party with my parents.And I went somewhere else, but I can't remember where.......
I failed at taking pictures Friday and Saturday, but nothing exciting happened.

Sunday I was super excited for the day and really thankful to be feeling well. Last year my chronic illness flared up on the day my parents came and I was in pain and felt like hurling the entire time. I was really thankful that wasn't the case this year. Also, I'm sporting another new FREE Sears top!

TWO MORE DAYS!!

I got to church way early, even after stopping at McD's for a Coke for myself and a sweet tea for my Dad. I had purchased a new coffee creamer at Aldi. Italian Sweet Cream. I usually am a Mocha or Peppermint Mocha creamer but they were out, so I grabbed this. I did not see Coconut on the ingredients list but y'all. It was coconutty. And I DO NOT LIKE coconut. I couldn't even finish my coffee Sunday morning it was so bad. Luckily my Dad loves coconut so I sent it home with him!

I met my parents and stayed with them through the singing and then during the actual sermon I had to step out and attend a meeting for Team Leaders for the role I serve in at church. 

After church was over, and my meeting wrapped up I met my parents and we headed out!


So I got this ring light for my cell phone, so you don't have to walk around holding your phone up to find decent light. Mom said it blinded her. That is the price we pay for a good picture Mom!!!!
I made some crockpot chicken taco soup and it was delish! And my Parents brought a DQ Ice Cream cake! So yummy!!
I'm trying to pose with my cake since for the second year in a row people ignore me when it's cake time.........
And this is the face you make right after your Dad STICKS HIS FINGER IN THE ICING!!!!!

I told him he was cutting that piece and eating it since his finger had been in it.

# Turning into a Parent

# Frightening
It's really hard to get a picture with all three of us in it, lined up and looking good. Especially when the ring light is on and I can't see half of the screen. So I tried for a picture with just my Dad and this is the face I get.  At least he looks happy!!!!
My Mom made me the neatest pillow case! Its made out of one of our Northview shirts! I gave my Dad one that didn't fit me two Christmases ago. Apparently he never wore it, so my Mom fashioned it into a pillow care for me! It's perfect and matches my living room to a T!!

Happy Birthday week to me!!!!

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...

Blue Monday!

Today's Festive Blue Monday outfit! I wore my tried and true trouser jeans, a short sleeved beaded top I got on clearance at Macy's of all places for 6 bucks!! And my awesome new jeweled flats! Sooo comfy and cute! Since it was in the 60's today I was able to get away with this warmer weather outfit! Beading on the top, I love it! Shoes, so ugly they are cute!!

New Bedroom Decor!

 Every Year my SIL outdoes herself with the gifts she gave us the year before. This year was no exception! She made this amazing picture for me. If you look close all of the pieces of the heart are small pictures of me and my friends! I was amazed! I still can't get over it! I just love it so much!  So I decided to hang it above my bed. I don't have a headboard and I have really felt like my room was lacking something to pull it together. I think this picture does it nicely! And yes, I sleep with a stuffed animal. I'm single, don't judge! I also sleep with 5 pillows. I tend to fall out of bed. They are like my bumpers! HA! Seriously though I just love it and it's so neat to look at all the pics of different friends and stages in my life and remember all of the fun memories! Thanks Liz!!
