And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.~Lee Greenwood

Turning 40 isn't so bad!

Posted in Life

Yes, I have entered a new decade today.  It was a great start to it also!  The girls woke me up singing "Happy Birthday" and then they got breakfast ready.  Nutty bars and yogurt with fresh strawberries along with coffee.  I also opened my gifts and received a necklace set, plaque that said "Faith, Hope, Love", a "Little Rascals" video, a starbucks cardand a warm fleece shirt with cardinals and  birdhouses on it from all the girls.  Dh gave me a Bluetooth to use with my phone.

I then relaxed for a short while before getting ready to go to lunch with a friend.  We had lunch at Olive Garden and then did some shopping at Target and Kohl's.  I found some holiday theme shirts for Puddin next year that were marked down to 50 cents!!  We also found some wrapping paper and other goodies for 29 cents!

On our way home, my friend started to pull into our church parking lot saying she needed to drop off some cups.  I believed her until I saw other cars and then my own car in the lot.  Surprise!!  DH had pulled off a surprise party and even got a DVD of pictures and old video put together for me!  He had been working on it since September and I had no clue.  It was a sweet time with family and friends.

I got more gift cards - mostly to Starbucks (think I am known as a coffee lover? :-) and now it looks like the Jacksonville Jaguars could top off the day by winning their first playoff game!!

Things are pretty much the same on the homefront.  We had 3 showings the end of December and New Years Day but nothing came from them.  We are officially off the market right now and deciding what to do before putting it back on in a few months.  I have 2 weeks before I leave for CA and much to still do in between.  I will try to pop in but I am still pretty much on a blogging break.
