It's that time again..

Well, it's 9/11/11.  Know what that means?  It's my birthday!  I'm 22 now!  What an awkward age.  There's nothing special about being 22, I'm already officially an adult.  Oh well!  At least I've been blessed with another year of life, and that's all I can ask for!  So, Happy Birthday to me!

Happy Birthday, Sister!

Twelve years ago, my life changed.  My world was shaken to the core, and I was no longer the only child.  Yes, 12 years ago today, my little sister, Michaela was born.  As I was searching for pictures to post in this blog, I was taken back down memory lane.  I remember my Uncle picking me up during my Wednesday night class at church because my mom's water had broken, and my little sibling was going to be born.  I never knew jealousy until she came along.  Sure I pushed her off the couch out of pure jealousy one time when my mom left me alone with her, but she didn't fall far...just a few feet!  Anyway, I say all this because I can't believe that my sweet, precious little sister turned 12 today.  She is growing up to be a beautiful, young Christian lady, and I am so incredibly proud of her!  So, Michaela, Happy Birthday, sis!  I love you to pieces and would give anything to be with you on your special day!  

Here are some pictures of my sweet sister through the years.  I'm sure she's going to love me for this!  :)

Time to celebrate!

So, I'm a sucker for finding any reason to make a celebration out of something.  I make huge deals out of "little" things in life simply because I think we should find reasons to celebrate life!  So, I have a reason to celebrate today!  Today is a very special day for someone (and many others too, I'm sure).  But, I have a friend who has a birthday today!   I just wanted to let him to know that his friendship is much appreciated, and that I wish him a VERY Happy Birthday!

So, Peter James, Happy Birthday!  I hope that your birthday is everything you wanted it to be and more!  May this next year of life be filled with unending love, joy, and happiness!!!

To quote an English Proverb--"the older the fiddler, the sweeter the tune!

Happy Birthday, Friend!  Blessings to you on your special day, and every other one surrounding it!

Happy Birthday!!!

Today is my niece's birthday.  She turns one today.  She was a little tax baby last year!  Happy Birthday Catie!  Uncle Luke and Aunt Alicia love you very much!
