Birthday

Well, another birthday has passed! I'm forty-two years old...and ready to be a new mom all over again. Darcie had a surprise birthday party for me last Saturday night with ladies from our care group. We had a wonderful time sitting and visiting, sharing fun stories amid many of my favorite foods~ chocolate and peanut butter!

On Sunday after church, Debra and Todd organized a luncheon to honor my birthday, so many friends and family, about 40 in all, descended on our home from 12pm to 11pm. I was so blessed by my girlfriends coming early to clean and decorate before Todd and I arrived home from our weekend away in DC. Todd took me to the Marriott on PA Avenue, complete with a Marriott dinner and a horse drawn carriage ride on Friday evening. Early Saturday morning, we walked the mall for 2 hours, viewing all the monuments and reading war memorials. Then it was off to Starbucks for a mocha, raspberry coffer and raspberry scone. Wow, was that good together!!! I can't believe God has blessed me with an amazing husband like Todd. He is always thinking and caring for my heart, wants and needs. I love him more each day!
