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.
Luv always,
~Sarah

I'm glad you all had a good rest of your time with Heather. I really enjoyed getting to meet her and her mom. Thanks so much for sharing your precious visit time of them with me! I truly was honored! =)
Well, gotta run it's Mommy's birthday today!!!

Oh, oh, I read those books!!! Actually, I'm in the middle of the last book, Amethyst. They are really, really good!! They continue off of another series but you don't have to read them to know what's going on in them. I'm soooo glad you liked your gifts, you didn't mention the picture book or the cash though. Also, I eggspect a piece of jewelry one day, lol.

Hey Sabby! It's a headband with a D and fence on it, it means defense, I'm assuming that it's a football term, I didn't even realize what it meant until I had been wearing it for bout an hour and someone came up to me and said "Defense!" and I'm like, "where?" They looked at me like I was nuts and then replied, "On your headband". I felt quite silly after that, lol.

Don't worry, I carry my knife so I do not have to fear bears. It is skeeters I worry about, I have bite marks all over my face! >-<
Yes, but they could still guess it was us, I mean how many authors are kidnapped in a day?
We seem to be missing each other. Now I am on and you are not! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
Oh, I started Sisterchicks do the Hula! It is VERY funny! You know what we need to do? We need to plan a sisterchicks trip for when we are fourty!
Have fun today! Still miss you!
More hugs and mushy stuff.

That is so awesome! I had no idea you listened to Carman! I have only had one friend I have known outside of my family that listens to him! Since I posted that I have found 5! haha
Who's In The House was one of my favorites too! I like The Champion and Sunday School Rock!
I wish we lived closer so you could teach me guitar! I have been wanting to learn forever and just haven't been able to! Maybe someday!
Hope you are doing ok! Love you!

Hey,
Wow it sounds like you had a great birthday! I'm so glad. It looks like you got some really neat presents too. The guitar is so cool, and I loved the idea of a "Fiddling Partners" picture frame! Thank you for sharing the pictures. They were really nice. You look lovely, as usual!
I posted yesterday if you want to come check it out. It tells about the new blog my sister and I are starting, although I think Arya might have already mentioned it to you. You can find out more details there if you want to though. God bless!
In Christ,
Christine
