The Birthday Bash - Part 2

I've had too much birthday fun to cram it all into one post!

After I came home from my day of fun in Indianapolis, I met my mentor, Lara, for more birthday fun! This is one of the gifts she gave me - and I'll tell you what - it's a God thing. It may not look like it just sittin' there all pretty in front of me - but it's a God thing. As soon as I can sort it all out in my head, I'll share it with you.
Then she took me to Kokomo to Olive Garden where I somehow found a tiny spot to put more food - and we caught up. We'd not seen each other for too long. I love this girl! We took this when we got home. She looks ROCKIN'. I look like I've only had 2 hours of sleep in the past 24 hours. Oh wait. I had.

Sunday morning, my birthday was announced in church, whereupon (is that a word?) the entire congregation sang to me and my face turned the color of the shirt you'll see below.


After church, I met up with Amber (who recently helped me paint the living room) and we went to Hacienda for lunch and then browsed a couple of stores just for fun.

I went home, took a 10 minute nap, and then headed to Marie's for a birthday dinner! Well, first, the presents:


New mats for my porch!

She worked so hard to make a superb dinner. We had a Mexican bake and then this hea-ven-ly dessert. Oh my word.


And I'm still celebrating! I had lunch Monday with Miss Jenny and she even treated me. :) And yesterday was the carry-in at work, where I ate something you'll be seeing on this blog very soon. Revolutionary.
