Birthday surprises

-
Yesterday was my 32nd birthday along with Jonathan's 3rd. The nice thing about sharing our birthdays is that the focus really goes to him all day. As I continue to reach 40 and then 50, this will be such a perk for me. This year, it seemed I got few more presents than I normally do - I am not sure why, but it was a lot of fun. I also had already gotten my awesome new cedar trunk and a few different cards in the mail with money in them, which were all great surprises!

The day began with breakfast in bed. Then John let me go garage sale-n for a while to look for some presents/things I have been looking for...we all went to Red Robin for some lunch (and 2 free meals for Jonathan and I). Then my friend Lisa and I got ready together for an 80s party we planned for my friend Lori who turned 30 this week. We went to a dinner/movie theatre and coffee house in our 80s attire. It was an amazing day!
Surprise Roses from John this year

Flowers delivered from CO from my sister and her family

An amazing homemade duck tape purse from my crafty friend Andrea
(This is a no sew purse we made awhile ago with her at our Christmas Club -
only made out of staples and duck tape, this one is way better than the one I made)

Ledge shelves from my best friend Lisa and 2 frames from my mom to go on them

A paper trimmer from my scrap booking friend Lisa who knew I REALLY needed one of these while I attempt to catch up on my books

Our 2024 Christmas Update

Merry Christmas from our crew to yours! We are thankful for 2024 and all that it brought to our family. God has been gracious and merciful to us as we hope to glorify Him with our lives and figure out our next season of life. We had more ups than downs this year and are excited to see what unfolds in 2025. John and Deanna celebrated 26 years of marriage this year and were able to celebrate with an anniversary trip through four National Parks in CA and NV. It was an amazing trip and of course urges us to travel more this coming year while we are healthy enough to hike and have more time on our hands in this short season. Other family highlights of 2024 included seeing the Total Eclipse, watching the Chiefs win another Superbowl, and spending time together all six of us at home or on vacations together a few times this year.  John spent the last year continuing to volunteer with Partners Worldwide, his business mentor group, and our church, Bethel Baptist Church. He started a contrac...

The peer pressure of the internet

So I have been invited about 5 times to join Facebook this past year and it seems lately most of my adult friends are joining. I have been afraid to join, not because of the crazy psychos out there, but because I know the time I would lose once I joined. I keep going back and forth and am driving John crazy using his account all the time to email friends I haven't talked to for awhile. He keeps telling me to get my own account. He joined last year because his youth Sunday School Class was all on there and it was better for them to discuss and email through Facebook . He is just now using it to re-connect with other people or talk back and forth with KC friends here (he no longer teaches the youth at church). When my friend Sara joined she said her inbox was full of friend requests and how crazy it was to get requests from people she never really talked to back in high school. Is it rude to just decline those people or is the "cool" thing to just have a bunch of friend...
