Vision of Home

The trip back home has been going very well.

So far, its been a wonderful mix of relaxing with my family and meeting up with friends that I haven't seen in a while. It hasn't been rushed and crazy like trips back home usually are so I'm staying sane. Cody and I are in the process of packing up and will be making our way to stay in Saint Augustine at a B&B for a couple of days. I'm really looking forward to taking some photos and walking around the historic town. Saint Augustine is an amazing place.

My Mom has dial-up so internet time has been limited.

It took nearly 45 minutes to upload this photo I took yesterday!?!?

DON'T FORGET!!

Happy Bird-day to Me!

Now, seriously, you can't say that I'm not the cutest dang thing you've ever seen.

I mean, it's almost too much for me to look at with my Smurfette cake.
Last night, I looked through old photos, I guess I was feeling nostalgic.
I found this one of me on my 3rd birthday, and couldn't resist posting it.

As promised, here are some of the flowers.


Anyways, today, my birthday.......
was no different from any other day.
Except that, at work I was running a million miles a minute.
Thinking 20 different thoughts simultaneously.....
I did, however, get a ton of stuff done today.
When I came home for lunch, I absentmindedly locked my keys in the house.
A lady from work had to come pick me up to finish the last few hours.
I really needed those last few hours to get everything done, too.
Tomorrow is going to be just as busy,
but that will make the day go by faster.



I have to tell you, I'm feeling very spoiled right now.
Not only have I gotten 5 bouquets, a box of my favorite chocolates, and a cake,
but this morning when I woke up, I received a present!
It was mostly because I repeated, "Where's my bird-day present!",
while rubbing my hands together in a sinister fashion.

Without hesitation Cody handed me a card.
I was touched from the moment I began to read.
It was by far the sweetest card ever;
I don't think I've ever cried at 7 in the morning.
And if you were wondering, the actual birthday present was cold, hard cash :)



I am slacking off right now,
and should be packing!

Thank you for all of the wonderful Birthday Wishes!

This week I plan to hold the BIG giveaway!!
I have finally prepared the six magnets to send out to their new homes.
Thanks again to everyone who played along with the first giveaway!

Other than fireworks on Friday, we haven't been anywhere this weekend.
The weather was not very favorable, it rained quite a bit.
Good thing it held off for the festivities, I love fireworks!
I'll share some photographs with you soon.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend :o)
