Birthday time!

Can you believe it?!  I know I can’t…but…I’m 32!!  I am very, very, very blessed and happy happy. 

These beauties were waiting for me on my car this morning, from my sweet Dad and stepmom.  They match my outfit, too, p.s.  And, yes, I got dressed before I saw them.  How did anyone know that I would *love* (or for that matter, be wearing) PINK?!  ;)

I’ll start off by saying sorry that I’ve been a bad blogger.  I left for San Diego, got back, and it’s been a whirlwind of my new Thirty-One business, trying to figure out how to add that into my life, and then continue on with my regular, normal, everyday crazy life.  I don’t know, I’m trying to get it together, but sometimes, I just have to accept that I can’t do it all!  And, that it’s okay that I can’t!

Yesterday, I had a birthday celebration with this cutie…we went to the Chimes and it was a gorgeous day, perfect for celebrating!  He had to have Nanny’s sunglasses for the ride, because the sun was just ‘too bright’.  We both bought new pairs of sunnies afterwards when we went to Old Navy and Stein Mart.  What can I say, the kid has good taste! 

I have another family celebration planned for Wednesday night, along with a birthday lunch today with my work girls.  I’m hoping to do something with my friends when we can all get back together…everyone had out of town plans so it didn’t work out to do something this past weekend.  Easter is this coming weekend, so I’m not sure when, but I’m sure eventually, we’ll do more celebrating.  It may be better, too, to spread out all that eating!  ;)

 

 

Just to recap some of my other recent adventures…last Thursday, I volunteered with Jazzy for Samaritan’s Feet.  I had wanted to do some extra volunteering for Lent, and they were in town for an event with the NCAA Final Four, which New Orleans was hosting.  We went to Martin Luther King Charter School in the Lower 9th Ward, and they were planning on giving away about 900 pairs of shoes to the kids there.  Samaritan’s Feet washes the feet of all the children before they put on their new pair of shoes, just as Jesus did for his disciples.  A lot of times this is one of the few times they get to hear just how loved and special they truly are, one on one.  We didn’t get to be there, unfortunately, for the feet washing or shoe giveway (our shift was the early, set-up shift), but DEFINITELY plan on getting involved volunteering with them again, when they are back in town for the Superbowl next year.  Such a great organization and a blessed experience. 

    

Way cool, right?!

Oh, and did I mention, the fish frys are DONE?!  I know, I know I complain about it, but, really, I love getting to hang out with some of my favorite people, Brandon, Ryan and Amelia.  Erin, Joe and some others are faithful helpers, too, so really, it’s sort of a win-win situation for me.  Except for taking out that trash.  Ew.  That’s pretty disgusting.

No, I really don’t know what he’s doing in this picture.

And, yes, I will post about San Diego one day…I swear it!  ;)
