thirty

 July 14, 1981 .... July 14, 2011+

Thirty years of life lived thus far.

I have been blessed.

And my 30th birthday was no exception from blessings.
I received many phone calls, cards, text messages, and Facebook notes.

 Several ladies of the church were I work surprised me
with lunch (from Mexican restaurant), flowers, a chocolate-chocolate cake,

a sweet card signed by many of the church, and 100 one-dollar bills.

Also, I had a surprise visit from 3 of my favorite young people.  They brought me more flowers, an awesome balloon, Willow Tree figurine for my desk, a precious card, and a mini-birthday cake.


After work, Chris and I went to dinner at Chili's and then we went on a mini-shopping spree.  :)  (Thanks, babe!)  Chris also gave me a sweet Willow Tree figurine.  (more on that later)  Sorry I didn't take any pictures - guess we were too busy making the most of it; eating and shopping!

Also, a BIG thanks to my cousin, Deanna, for the blog makeover.  I love the new look.  I shared a few of my ideas and she went with it.  She's amazing and so smart! 


Birthdays are not so bad when you feel loved. =)
Here's to 30 more!
