My "Golden" Birthday

That's right, this year I turn 30 years old on the 30th.  So why it isn't actually my birthday, we have already celebrated here at home.  Doug left Friday morning for work and headed to Georgia to help that group with their harvest.  Since he knew he would be gone, he took the kiddos shopping early in the week and let me open my cards and presents a week before my birthday :)

Dallas opened the card he picked out for me

Reba picked out some new flip-flops for me - she knows her momma loves shoes!

Dallas picked out a new bird feeder for me and a big bag of feed (Dallas was explaining to me that we can hang the feeder out by the swingset so we can watch the birds eat while I push him in the swing...always thinkin' that kid!)

Doug also took me out to dinner before he left.  We ate at a local sushi restaurant!  It was the first time I have had sushi and it was really good.  As we were leaving the restaurant, Doug said, "I expect to see this on the blog."  I replied with, "Why didn't you have me take pictures then?"  So I apologize for no pictures.  I must be getting forgetful in my "old" age.

Until next time...

Celebrities

I guess you can call us celebrities now...

This past Sunday, Doug and I made the front cover of our church's bulletin!  The picture was taken at the Valentine's Day dinner that our church hosted for any married couple.  We decided it would be a great opportunity for us to get to meet some other people in the church; plus, they were providing free child care!  We had a great time, and at the end of the evening, we won a prize for being the most recently married couple in attendance!

Until next time...
