Birthday pictures....LOTS of them~ part 2
Hey ya'll!
OK, I'll just pick up where I left off in my last entry. In the last two pictures, we were on our way into town for my birthday lunch. I, of course, wanted to go eat Chinese. I only get it about once a year (for my birthday where I get to choose where we eat) cause nobody in my family really likes it besides me. So I was very pleased when we all sat down to my favorite meal.
And here is Anna showing us the "proper" way to eat with chopsticks. Haha! The food was sooooo good! I majorly stuffed myself with lots of food. How funny is it that everything on my plate is just chicken?! I don't really like the noodles or soups, I just like Chinese chicken. Yum!
Spending my birthday with my friends was so wonderful. We made some wonderful memories that I'm sure we'll never forget. We were so blessed that Heather and Mrs. Linda were able to come and spend that time with us.
After eating, I convinced mom that we "had" to go to the Mall. That was sooo fun! We don't go to the Mall much, so when we do go we make it worth our while and have some fun. We went into my favorite shop called Romancing the Stone. (yeah, weird name) but they all sorts of neat stuff in their. We saw some masks that just HAD to try on. The first one is me and Anna, and the second one is me and Heather. Ha ha! Bet you didn't know that!! ^_^ Looks like something Lucy and Ethel would do.
Then Jordan and Anna decided to "dress up" the birthday girl. Don't I look charming?! 0_0 Personally, I don't think the look really works for me.
Then Anna decided to add a few "accessories" also. Ha ha!
These were really neat. I seriously wanted to take a few home. I love paper lanterns.
And then, of all things, we line danced. Yeah, in the mall. We thought the music was a good beat for it and there was plenty of room, so we kicked off our shoes. But once we started the music wasn't such a good beat for a line dance...it was more like a tango...and we earned a few looks from people passing by, well, it just didn't work out. ^_^
We went into Tuesday Morning and saw a bear...not just any bear. An adorable, white, huge, soft bear. We were quite captivated with the cute fella. We found out after we had taken these pictures that he was $100!
But we still wanted to take him home with us.
So, we had plenty of fun, returned home tired. It was a day full of laughs, but there was a few tears in there as well. That morning as I was reading my mom's entry she wrote on me, I couldn't help but shed a few. it was my first birthday without my Dad. Dad never missed our birthday's. He always made sure he was here to celebrate with us. But mom made sure to give me my birthday kiss from him.

Birthday pictures....LOTS of them~ part 1
Hey Ya'll,
You guys are sooo awesome. Thank ya'll for the blog-parties! I really enjoyed reading them! Thank you, thank you!!!
Ok, birthday update....Well, first off, one of my best friends, Heather, and her mom, Mrs. Linda came down from Laramie, Wyoming to visit and spend my birthday with me. I also invited one of my other best friends, Anna over and she spent two nights with us. Such fun.
Jordan made me a birthday cake. (that she ate almost entirely by herself) Twas quite tasty. Then is was present time!!! (my favorite) Everyone was waiting in the frontroom for me to come out of hiding. But I was making myself presentable to be in front of a camera....I don't think I succeeded.
So, I sat in the traditional manner that we always do before opening presents to get them all in the picture. (*notice* big brown box besides me does not house Ted Dekker like I once believed) But it did hold something that I have wanted for two years! Celeste and Ryan got me a guitar!!! *screeches* It is absolutely gorgeous! And it's the exact color I wanted. And it has a wonderful sound.
Celeste and Ryan also got me a Ted Dekker "forest dweller circle necklace", (yay!) And they got me charms and beads and stones to make jewelry. Very nice.
Then, dear friend Heather made a fantastic scrapbook. It has clips of our IMs and jokes that we had to explain to everyone, like "cowboys herding roaches", "planing weddings", "the kidnapping of a certain author". You know, the usual secrets of Sisterchicks. lol! She also gave me the cutest little friendship locket in the shape of a heart. On it, it has a little hummingbird. Inside it has a picture of her and she has one just like it and inside there is a picture of me. I loved it. And a Sisterchicks book that I had lots of fun reading.
Dear friend Anna gave me the perfect gift of a picture of me and her that was taken at the concert that we were just in a few weeks ago. On the frame it has "Fiddling Partners". She also gave me a pretty journal that I'm going to have to start a new story in. ^_^ And she gave me two packs of gum. (yummy)
Our pastor's wife, Sis. Danna made me the cutest coasters in the shape of a camera with film and she gave me a set of books. She knows how much we love to read. So I really enjoyed opening her gift!
Then, Dear friend, Mrs. Cathy and Mrs. Claress made me some of the most adorable-est aprons I've ever seen! I now wear them all the time. And I haven't really been cooking or baking, I just like to wear them around the house while I'm doing my chores and such. One of the aprons is in a strawberry print that is just sooo cute and has the sweetest pockets on earth.
Here is Heather and Me.
Here is Heather, Me and Anna.
Well, that's all the time I have for now. But I got more pictures, so once again, there will have to be a part two.
Hi there! My name is Sarah. I'm a born-again
Christian and a relocated Cajun. I love
the Lord. I'm 18, and weird,
but my family still loves me, lol....I think....
I thank God everyday for my wonderful family and friends. One of my great passions is playing my violin/fiddle (no there is no difference) I love playing in church and for just about anyone who would listen. But most of all I play for God and Dad. I'm sure God allows my dad to hear me wherever I am. God does special and awesome things like that for his children.
One of my other great passions is writing. I'm always starting some new story....I just never finish the ones that I already have. ^_^
Come Join Us!!
a year (for my birthday where I get to choose where we eat) cause nobody in my family really likes it besides me. So I was very pleased when we all sat down to my favorite meal.
