Dirty Thirty

I had a pretty awesome birthday bash thanks to my amazing husband and some fabulous family and friends!!!  This is what 30 looks like…too bad I didn’t get a photo of the THREE gray hairs I found while getting ready for the party, I might have to go back blonde!

SURPRISE!!!  MQ chartered a not too shabby party bus that arrived at one of my favorite piano bars in Houston.  I think it is pretty safe to say a great time was had by all!

My greatest gal pals, thank you ladies for everything.

I absolutely LOVED the festive cups, fun napkins (I hope we don’t see ALL the photos of the night on FB) and notice my adorable accessories.  Thanks girls!

My sister in law brought these tasty cupcakes that she topped with “30”  candles and small neon colored glow sticks, she is just so clever!!

Thirty years old..WOW..I have been so amazingly blessed! 

CHEERS to another THIRTY years!

Me and My Big Plans

The roads I travel on are paved with good intentions, and believe me, I have those. I have begun the process to apply to graduate school, but have not finished. I have painted my kitchen cabinets, but have not put the doors back on, I have ……… You get the picture.

I have a craft room full of good intentions. Some get finished, while others are still under construction.

I did not quite realize it at the time, but during a game of Imaginiff, the question was...If Ryan starred in a movie, which movie would it be? The consensus was Ferris Bueller's Day Off. What?!?! I was miffed to say the least, I don't remember the other choices that were given but really, why would that have to be the story of my life? My dad’s response was "because you always have these plans, but they never really work out." Really?!?!

I am now a little bit older and a tad bit wiser and can say that this statement is completely... TRUE!!! I do always have "these" plans...and well...sometimes they don't work out, but sometimes they do! Which reminds me of a favorite quote from one of my favorite movies, it’s funny how some things don't work out-It's funny how they do.

It is funny...how MQ (my high school sweetheart and husband) and I worked out., how my career and life in my hometown worked out and how my family is working out. Again, not all as planned, but I am enjoying every minute of it and yes, it is most certainly still under construction.
