Birthday Perfection

Have you ever had one of those days? You know where everything just falls into place. Whether you had something planned or if something was sprung on you, it just worked out. You picked the right line at the grocery store....you have all the ingredients for a certain recipe, every person you encountered was pleasant... you name it, it was the right thing. Well imagine how you would feel if your entire weekend went that way! Unbelievable right?...well it happened to me AND it just so happens it was my birthday weekend!


I decided early on that I wasn't going to let turning another year older get the better of me. So what if I've been on this planet one year longer, that's OK... I was going to celebrate another year of being me! I'm healthy, I've got a great job, wonderful friends, the greatest husband and family anyone could be blessed with...it's good to be me!








Some of the things we did this weekend...


Lunch on Saturday: Famous Dave's (love that place)






Got new phones from AT&T
I love the new Bluetooth technology...a hands free device coming through the stereo... Wow!







Spring Mountain Ranch - Saw the play "Aida" Great job Andrew! Loved the play!





Church on Sunday - Heard a great message on the importance of relationships being a key factor in growing closer to Christ!

Trip to Star Nursery - New plants for the backyard (looks amazing)






My daughter Alyson, took this terrific picture of this flower from my frontyard last week.






















I'm going to use this one in my "Seasons" themed frame. This one will be "Summer".





Sunday afternoon nap!


Great birthday dinner at PF Changs. Served by the nicest waiter we've ever had, I might add!




I received lots of phone calls, emails & thoughtful gifts from family & friends.

Truly, my cup runneth over. I am so blessed and very thankful. I have never felt more loved!

God,
I don't want to question why you have shown me your favor, I only want to give you the praise and the glory. Without You I would have none of these gifts, so please accept my thanks and forgive me whenever I take these gifts for granted. It's my honor to serve You and yours! Amen

What a nice birthday weekend! I like your seasons frame. That'll look really pretty when its complete. Is that sermon available online by any chance? Sounds like a great one!

Happy birthday again! I hope the wonderful moments continue into the week!
