What a Birthday!!!

I had an awesome birthday. Actually it is going to be a whole week of it. I feel spoiled and loved.



I'll start with tonight.

We had dinner with my in-laws. It was very nice and we even saw some friends that we haven't seen in a while.

Afterwards, my now driving nephew met us at Dairy Queen for dessert.






Bobby and my nephew, Stetson, got me an icecream cake from the DQ.



I was shocked and so happy to spend time with my nephew.



Quick, someone call the fire department!


Guess what happens when you put 38 "trick" candles on an icecream cake????



It melts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Earlier in the day we went to my grandmother's grave. She passed away while we were in Bethel and we didn't have the money for me to fly home for the funeral. So this was the first time I have been to her grave.




.She was buried by her first husband, my grandfather, Henry Engle. Yes, he was a minister.

Monday night my family had a party for my cousin's husband, John and me. This is my new great uncle with Bobby. He is a very sweet man. (Both)

These are my twin double first cousins, Trina & Gina, and Trina's daughter, Jessica. Aren't they beautiful!

This is my grandmother and her sister, Aunt Iller. Aunt Iller just recently got married!! Go girl!

I had phone calls and emails and just felt very muched loved. Thanks to all who made this a special day. We are leaving Alabama tomorrow and then on Friday Bobby has a very special evening planned for me. He also greeted me at the airport with a certificate for a deluxe manicure and pedicure. I can't wait.

Thirty-eight has been GREAT!!!

I loved your phone call! It was priceless!!!

I am ready to go home!
Can't wait to her Bro. Steve testify at church tonight!!! Woohoo!
I know of at least 3 requests that have been met since that Sunday. I got to thinking, we ought to really get behind the others who had requests that Sunday and remind them that What God did for us He WILL Do for them! From faith to faith!
Can you tell I am a little excited?
