Surprises

Gotta love birthday surprises. Yesterday, when Marie and I were sitting in our Anatomy class, I asked her what we were going to do for my b-day dinner. She told me we would just order pizza, cause no one really felt like cooking. I was ok with that. So we get home, and I asked Lin when we were going to order the pizza. She told me to go ask Marie, and then Marie said "I'm not hungry right now, let's wait a little bit." So about 20 minutes later, I'm about to die of hunger when there is a knock at the door. In walks Tif. Yea! :) So that was my first surprise. Then we all bundle in the car, and head off to the unknown (to me) eating destination. No it was not Pizza Hut. :D We were on Wanamaker and we kept driving, past all the eating places I thought we would go to. And as we pulled into the parking lot of this restaurant, I about died of astonishment. But they were treating me to food, so I grabbed my purse and got out with the other 3 ladies. We quick snapped a pic to capture the moment.

Notice how my cross on my shirt just kinda stands out! :D Well no, we didn't end up eating there, so it was all good. But none the less...my heart stopped. We ended up eating at the Olive Garden. And then at prayer meeting I shared my b-day cake that my mom (thanks mom;)) had sent back for me to eat with everyone. It was a very blessed birthday and we shall see what another year brings.

Today...

Today's THE DAY! :D HOpe you all have a happy day also!

Birthdays

According to my sisters, my birthday is my favorite holiday. Next to Christmas & Easter, I'd have to agree. :) I have no idea why either. But beginning pretty much on January 1st, I start counting down. AND telling Everyone I can think of multiple times about it. The following are e-mails I received from some of the people who have been blessed by these reminders:
Lindsay:
Subj: I am going to beat you
Hey if you don't stop emailing me these annoying emails I am going to beat you when I get back. Have a good one!
Tyler:
What big day are you talking about?
Marie:
Thanks, I needed the reminder!!!! (very sarcastically)
Stephanie: (said, not e-mailed)
STOP SENDING ME DUMB E-MAILS!
Tifani: (said)
I bet you are going to fill our inboxes with stupid reminders!!
And just so all of YOU know...My birthday is in 4 days...actually almost 3 by this time. Everyone can tell me how long til their b-days if they want. Then I won't feel like a complete idiot. Have a great day!

"We live we love we forgive and never give up

Cause the days we are given are gifts from above

and today we remember to live and to love."

After reading Tif's blog the other day, I realized that there is so much in my life to be thankful for. Not that I wasn't thankful anyway, but it just really struck me. I really like this song by Superchic[k] because it is very true...and I like the beat. :) I hope you can all find something in your day that will bring a smile to your face and a reminder that Jesus loves you and always will. ALSO...I thought I would let you all know that my birthday is in 11 days. I think I might do a count down. :D Won't that be nice.
