Happy birthday to me!

It's been a nice day. The kids decorated my car, and Ashleigh had all of her friends text me "Happy Birthday" as many times as they wanted to. I got 71 all together. It was really fun.

Then, when I got home the kids all had a surprise party for me. They even bought me a pinata and decorated the living room. We also played a game. Then we went to a nice dinner this evening.

I also got calls from LaJoy, my sis Kim, my friend Maxine and Claudia. I got some flowers from my friend Vicki, and some balloons from the Young Women's presidency in my ward. And I can't forget all the birthday wishes from my sista's. Thank you all!

All in all it was a great day!

I love my family!

You Are Apple Pie

You're the perfect combo of comforting and traditional. You prefer things the way you've always known them. You'll admit that you're old fashioned, and you don't see anything wrong with that. Your tastes and preferences are classic. And classic never goes out of style. Those who like you crave security. People can rely on you to be true to yourself - and true to them. You're loyal, trustworthy, and comfortable in your own skin. And because of these qualities, you've definitely earned a lot of respect.

What Kind of Pie Are You?

Guess who?

In honor of my birthday tomorrow, I thought I'd show me as a cute widdle baby.
Sorry it's kinda blurry, I had to take a picture of a picture.

The newest addition to our family

A green (my favorite color btw) 1998 Chrysler Concorde. It seats 6. A couple in our ward were selling it for a really great deal and since I'm the only one driving most of the time during the days, we wanted to have something that is not such a gas guzzler. That means we'll be back to driving two cars again when the whole family goes somewhere, but we've done it before and the savings on gas will be nice. A van would've been nice, but it is out of the question with a tight budget. So, that means we're selling the Big Blue Whale. If you know anyone who wants a fixer upper with a great 5 yo engine let us know.

What's in my purse?
