Valentines Day

If I were being honest (which I am) I would tell you that I was NOT looking forward to Valentine's day for MANY reasons. I just wasn't going forward to it but the day ended up being more amazing then I thought it would be. My day actually started on Friday. I was blessed my friend Dena and her kiddos with the beautiful flowers (they dropped them of Thursday) but what a way to start Valentines weekend. Then EARLY Saturday morning I got up and meet up with my "other family" (NO comments on that one) to go and meet Grandmother & Granddaddy and we had a camping breakfast which was OH so yummy and watching Edgewater (GO EAGLES!) crew team at Turkey Lake. It was SO much fun. Then I came home to find 2 sweet cards in my mailbox from a dear friend, and my sweet dad. I rested for a little while then went over to Jenny & Stephanies as we got ready (having fun pampering ourselfs with manicures, pedicures and straightening Jenny's hair :) Then off to dinner with some friends, then ice cream (and I did not get Mango in mine :), then to play games (I finally understood and like the game PIT) and then to finish off the night we got Starbucks :) It was a great day and the best part of it was being with my friends and the thoughtful cards and gifts that I recieved that day. Thank you to all who made that day SO special for me.

Happy Birthday JJ!

For all of those who don't know JJ, she is the one on the left. She is celebrating her birthday in Wales, England this year as she is serving the church over there :) That's right. Sweet JJ laid down her life for a whole year (missing her nephew's birth, many special occasions, birthdays, and much more) to not only serve a church, but to love, serve and reach out to the many non-believers. She is someone I have admired from a distance for a very long time. She is has a heart full of joy and is always willing to serve and lay down her life for others. The one thing that I admire most about her is the way she puts sin to death daily and seeks to grow in her relationship with her Father. So I wanted to wish her a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY in the blog world to you my friend :) I don't have many picutres of us JJ (or ones that I would be willing to put up) So I thought a good picture would be one of some of your close friends (Do you remember when I took this one? We were on our way to G-Ville for the grand opening of their new building. That was a VERY fun night :). I hope you have a wonderful day and that you are blessed beyond your wildest dreams :) Love you!
