Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my birthday! I still act like a kid, and I get all excited for my birthday every year. A friend of mine and I say that we celebrate our birthdays all month long. Her birthday is also in October.

I am blessed with family and friends that treat me so well. I don't deserve such good friends and family in my life, but I am thankful for each and every one. Even if I didn't get a sing gift, I am blessed beyond measure!

Speaking of gifts, though, I did get a lot of those. Carl spoiled me as always. He took me to a Jason Crabb concert in Anderson this past Saturday. Today, he gave me a gift set and a candle from Bath and Body Works,


some pretty fall flowers,


tickets to the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra with Joshua Bell in June,
and tickets to see the Booth Brothers later this month. The Booth Brothers are one of my favorite Southern Gospel groups, number 2 after the Gaither Vocal Band. :)

I also got some money from Mom, my uncle, and my in-laws, and a gift card to JC Penney and a cute Snoopy doll from my brother. Snoopy plays "Linus and Lucy," which is my favorite Peanuts song. Matter of fact, I think James and I are probably a lot like Linus and Lucy...hahaha!

I also got two neat crosses from my best friend Amy in Texas.

Plus, I got so many birthday greetings on Facebook today...makes a girl feel loved!
I have had a great birthday. It has been pretty much headache-free, so that in itself makes it a good day!
Thank you, everyone for the birthday wishes!

Candle Giveaway!

Image
Since my husband is working on a Saturday; since it's been a cloudy, rainy day; and since it's been almost two months since I have done a blog post. I am doing a GIVEAWAY! Carl is working on a Saturday evening for a co-worker, but he will have Labor Day off. That will be nice because Carl will be able to stay at our family reunion as long as he likes. For the past few years, he has only been able to stay for an hour before heading into work. Instead of staying home by myself, Mom and I went shopping. We went to a consignment store called Off The Hanger, where I bought this pair of shoes for only $6:   Cute, huh?   We also went to Bath and Body Works. They were having a Labor Day Sale. The 3-wick candles are 2 for $20 this weekend. The mini candles are 2 for $5, and they also have lots of other things on sale. I love it when they have the candles on sale. I absolutely love the candles at Bath and Body Works!   I bought these two large candles.
