Well, I had a great birthday yesterday! I got lots of cards, texts, phone calls, and facebook messages, so that made my day very special. Travis came home with a big bouquet of flowers from a florist nearby, and I love them. He knows that I don’t really like roses, but these are perfect.
He also got me the newest Little Big Town CD and 2 books by Francine Rivers that I’ve been wanting to read. Yay!!
Last night, someone at church asked me how old I was and then immediately said, “Oh wait, I guess I’m not supposed to ask you that, right?” I laughed and told him that I wasn’t to the point where that question bothered me yet. But, then the more I started thinking about it, I hope I’m never to that point! Being 24 means that God has blessed me with 24 years of life! And the same will hold true when/if I get to be 44, 64, or 94, etc. I think it’s silly for people to be embarrassed of their age because it’s really something you should be thankful for. So, someone please remind me that I said this in 16 years…haha :)
This past weekend was dedicated to Mrs. Cheryl’s big birthday celebration. Alisha and Tyler spent the night Friday night, and we had a lot of fun. I made BBQ sandwiches for supper, and we got to spend some time talking with Baugay upstairs too. Saturday was the big party! We spent most of the afternoon at the Copelands’ house decorating and getting ready.
My camera died before the party even started, so I tried taking pictures with my Droid, and they didn’t turn out very good. It’s probably user error :)The party was a lot of fun though! She wasn’t surprised, but that’s ok I guess. It’s hard to keep parties a secret when so many people know about it. We had a good turnout and more than enough food leftover.
This weekend, Travis and I are going to Pigeon Forge. Mollie’s parents are renting a cabin up there for the weekend, and she invited several people to come stay with them. I didn’t realize until recently that Pigeon Forge is so close to Knoxville (where the Bama game is)…it’s only 30-45 minutes away! I’m not sure if we’ll go to the game or not; we don’t have tickets yet, but I’m thinking that they wouldn’t be too hard to find once we get there. Either way, it will be a fun time!!!
Well, it’s time for me to hit the gym. I biked 15.7 miles yesterday, so I’m really trying to get that mileage in! Right now, I’m in 7th place in the Iron Bowl Walk-A-Thon…woohoo! :)
Hope you are having an awesome week so far!!
