My 33rd Birthday

I decided to keep it simple, stay home and my only request of Mark as he asked me, "what would you like for your birthday?" was 1) go out to eat (which we did to Red Lobster my birthday night) and 2) time.... Time to clean out the rest of the garage to get both of our cars in it and to move things around to begin setting up my craft area and that is what I did.

Another highlight of my birthday that I didn't mention - I had visitors and they were of the most unusual kind!

30th Birthday

you do make one, you're 26 percent more likely to stick to it.

at 30 (Luke 3:23), Joseph was 30 when he stood before Pharaoh, King of Egypt
(Genesis 41:46), King David was 30 when he began to reign (2 Samuel 5:4), and the
Levites were numbered from the age of 30 and upward (1 Chronicles 23:3).

For my 30th birthday I decided that I wanted to celebrate and celebrate I did though not in the "traditional" sense. I went to the Doodlebug Retreat (Fri-Sun) and FINALLY made our wedding albums and picked through pictures I wanted to keep and those extras that I needed to get rid of and it was a BLAST!! (pictures to come later)


In addition, I took the day of my birthday off to reflect and consider things and kind of redirect where I wanted to go now and how to consider things.

I reminisced and also looked forward. That night I had a get-together at a friend's house of my closest "sisters" here in southern Indiana and it was so relaxing and comforting.

It was a wonderful evening of pampering!
