31 Years Blessed

This year on my birthday I woke up praising God for my life and how blessed I am. God has blessed me with yet another year of life. He has provided me such a wonderful life with so many blessings too numerous to name. I began my day reflecting on God blessing me with 31 years and praying that this year I can focus on living to fulfill my purpose on this earth. I ended my day reading 100'a of facebook messages and felt extremely blessed again to see friends and family from TX, MO, TN, China, NC and Mexico. I look forward to seeing what God has in store for me the next year.

I was able to take both the boys to their first day of MDO and spend a few hours of me time which was wonderful. I got a pedicure, went shopping and spent some Birthday gift cards and got a new phone, then had lunch with a friend before picking the boys up from school. After picking them up we came home and played and waiting for Josh to get home. When he did we went for dinner at the Cheesecake Factory.

My Birthday Cheesecake, yummy!!

The weekend of my birthday we went to Wabash Days in Wentzville (the towns celebration of their railroad). They had a parade the boys enjoyed, live music and carnival rides. Brayden played a game where you threw a pingpong ball in a jar. He won on his first try and we got to bring home 2 goldfish. They only lasted a day so we ended up going to the petstore and buying a Beta instead. His name is Harvy (for Kevin Harvick). The boys have had a blast with this fish. They both love watching him swim and feeding him. We have only spilt the fish food 3 times all over the floor.


Bransen's favorite prize thrown during the parade.
