A week of SURPRISES

This past week has been full of excitement! Monday was my dear sweet hubby's 30th birthday. It was also his first day of his brand new job, which is great because it is straight days. He had to go talk to the HR man and he found out that he is making .50 more than what we originally thought he would be!



All week long the boys were either on snow delays or being dismissed early or no school at all, so I got some extra time to spend with them to!
Friday my mom was off from work, so we went to awards day at the school and then we went out to see Untraceable! She treated me to the movie and to lunch, kinda an early birthday present! We had a wonderful day!



Saturday was my little red's 7th birthday! My father in law, aka guy (click here for more details) came in from North Carolina with his friend Gene. Daniel had to work, so I got everything done, took my shower and gave myself a hair cut, looks really pretty to! We thought that Daniel was going to have to work until 2:30, but got off at 12, which was great! He made it home before everyone got here. I had my father-in-law stop and pick up Grayson's cake.



He surprised me with a cake of my own. It was chocolate, I like white. I was very thankful anyway because it was such a sweet sentiment.



It was beautiful as you can see, until I set it on the stove...



My father in law just fussed, not mad really just playing with me. The party was going great until time to serve the food... yep you guessed it, it was my cake again. I was getting some one's plate ready and knocked my cake off the table. My father in law wasn't in the room and the cake landed in chair. SAVED, not. I slowly tilted the chair forward to rescue my cake, hoping that it would go right back in the plate. Half of it did the other half went on the floor and smushed, the beautiful roses. We joked about this all evening and I told him that I had already told him I like white cake not chocolate. LOL we had a very nice time.

Then came present time. I had told Grayson that all I was going to get him was bugs for his birthday. The poor baby even had a nightmare about spiders. It made me feel bad. Here is a picture of him with his real present we got for him.



As you can see it is a remote control spider! He liked it though!

I think everyone knows that I won Mary's giveaway. Well that tickled me pink. I got another email yesterday saying that I had one another giveaway to JCNaturals. It is really cool, you should go check it out!

I have had a really blessed week. We also had a wonderful church service yesterday and I have been looking for someone to sing with me, I don't like singing by myself. During church, I asked my soon to be sissy in law



if she sings. Turns out she does and wants to start singing with me at church. Woohoo! Praise the Lord for all my blessings this week.

P.S. My birthday is Wednesday, Jan. 30th. I will be a big 29!
