My day…..

 

I’m sitting here getting ready to wrap up another birthday.  How about having your birthday on Memorial Day?   Cool, huh?  This was my exciting, extraordinary, ordinary birthday day:

  • Waking up at 6:30….(why I can’t sleep in eludes me). 
  • A nice quiet time with some creamy, dreamy coffee and Rick Renner’s Sparkling Gems, an awesome daily bible study.
  • Fiber One, because fiber is your friend! :)
  • A little sweet, hot pink polish on my short little fingernails.  Maybe next year I’ll get a mani/pedi!
  • Watching Full House with Leah…the episode where Uncle Jesse takes the kids to the museum and they knock over a dinosaur and Danny proves that being the “fun” dad can go terribly wrong.
  • A great trip to Borders with Bryan to get a photography book and a gift card for a friend.
  • Oh yeah, baby…. old school LAND OF THE LOST on the Sci-Fi channel!   I never missed that show on Saturday mornings as a kid.  I was soooo scared of the Sleestacks!  I am sure I will see the Land of the Lost remake with Will Ferrell because I love Will Ferrell.
  • The entire Abbott family surrendered their phones for some FAMILY TIME!  Believe it or not, everyone lived!! 
  • A fun time bowling together complete with sister fights, attitudes, tons of gutter balls, but totally worth it all.  We figure it may be our last family bowling time.
  • A fattening dinner at Red Robin to be followed up shortly with my favorite dessert….BROWNIE SUNDAES! 

It was a relaxing day and I am very thankful today for the blessings in my life; every one of them!  This past year was filled with ups and downs and many, many changes.   God is so faithful.  God is so good.  My family is a gift from Him and spending the day with them was a gift itself.    Thank you to everyone who sent me birthday wishes today.  I am so grateful for you!
