beginnings of the 26th birthday celebration

who has the best friends in the world? i do.
so, since my birthday is on a tuesday this year, we started my birthday celebrations a little early. of course i picked the resturant, and i chose Conner's steak and seafood, in Huntsville. we have been there on one other occasion. their steaks are simply amazing!
joining me in this celebration were amy, amanda, ben, brett, jessica, and dave.


so after this wonderful dinner, we walked and talked a while, which was hard because is was about 30 degrees outside. then we, mainly brett, wanted to take someout door photos, these are just a few that we took.
  brett took this, i am almost positive that we were not ready when he took it. we look pretty amazing anyways. then it was time for a group shot, the first attempt...ehh

the camera was prompted up on a coke machine... didn't work so well. ben looks as if he were smoking, it is actually a straw from dinner. after this photo, brett put the camera in the window seal behind ben. i am not real sure who pressed the shutter button, but the photo to follow is the best!

ben pretty much stood in a random spot and we all ran by him. i think it is amazing!
we also went to an arcade and played skiball, wak-a-mole.. you know. we had about 400 tickets, we gave them to three little boys that were at the arcade with their grandparents.
great start to the birthday celebration!
ps. the super cute pink and white top was a gift from the best friend, shells. it arrived a few hours before we left. :)

How is it that 6 months seems so short and so long?

I am in an amazing season of life. It's weird most days and I do not understand the plans the Lord is making, but that is okay. The Lord has timing. This morning as I sat in church, Andy Heis spoke about enjoying THIS time that God is moving in and do not spend all your time and energy looking back or looking too far forward. And at this moment, I am great. Sure things will change and move and explode and calm again, that is life folks. Almost 2 years ago I was originally nominated for the Humanitarian Award, that I was blessed to win 18 months later. The National Obesity Foundation is ran by almost all volunteers and they had a large turn over and my paperwork was lost in the shuffle. Lucky for them, I am persistent and assertive. I called and emailed and called and emailed until I spoke with Mike Panas, who helped me tremendously. As you know, I won that award and had Gastric Sleeve surgery in June, 6 months ago. I cannot say that I wished it would had happened sooner and I cann...

so

so, if you know me, you know that i ask a lot of questions. i seem to wonder about things that no one thinks of.. i will share my most amazing thoughts on here. maybe if you have thoughts, you can respond; if not, it just feels good to get it out. example. why does nabisco continue to make "regular" oreo's, when they have double stuffed? i mean ,why would you not purchase the double stuffed, it's so much better!

Can you please get off my yoga mat?

So this past week, narcolepsy has been winning. I have unintentionally taken a few 3-4 hour naps over the past week. Now before you say, "you're so lucky, I would love to nap." I do LOVE to nap, I love to intentionally nap. You know, to turn on the fan and turn off the lights, put pandora on and set a sleep timer :) yes. But when I sit down to work on a research paper and wake up FOUR hours later, it is no fun. My sleeve (Gilbert) does not always absorb my medication correctly, some days he wants me to be useless and sleep all day. On Tuesday, I again slept through my planned gym schedule. So to show Gilbert who is boss, I grabbed a jump rope and my yoga mat and walked out into a little piece of heaven, on Brunner Street.  If you know Sandy, she likes to get unclose and personal. In this photo, she was technically not on the yoga mat, but she had been! I jumped rope first. Here is Charlie, being all cool. It was a good quick workout, and it reminded me, that I ca...
