Well, it's been quite a busy month for me. I officially entered my prime when I turned 30. Craig planned a little get together for me at Kafe Kokopelli's in Dade City. It was a wonderful evening with friends and family. A special thanks to all that came out to celebrate with me.
The day after my birthday I jumped on a plane with my Dad and flew to NC for my cousin Haley's wedding. It was a fast trip but I'm so glad that I went. Haley and Josh has a beautiful wedding and she was a gorgeous bride! Walking into the room where she was waiting for the ceremony brought tears to my eyes. She was just so beautiful and so excited! The reception was great! Her and my aunt did an amazing job of pulling together a fabulous wedding is a very short amount of time. It was really fun getting to go with my dad too. We had a good time. I cherish times like that with him! It was nice seeing my aunt and uncle too and getting to spend some time with my other cousin, Lacy.
My friend, Michelle, welcomed her second baby, a little girl, into the world. Of course I missed the big day being in NC. She had a great delivery and baby Brook is healthy and just beautiful. She has this little tiny head that is full of black hair!!!! She's like a little doll and I'm so thankful that Michelle and Brook are doing well. I was able to go over and meet her when I got back and she is precious! Congratulations, Michelle and Justin. Her son, Ethan, is quite smitten with his baby sister too!
Michelle also turned 30 this month. She and I are only a few days apart and had always talked about having a huge joint 30th birthday party. Well, Brook kind of fixed that plan for us...not that we mind! I kind of felt bad that Michelle didn't get to have a big bash for her 30th so my friend Gena and I decided to have a belated 30th celebration for her. We got her mom and husband in on the deal and surprised her at Vallartas. She was shocked! It was a wonderul evening and we are so glad she got a special day!
My brother and his wife went on a quick trip to Georgia this past weekend and asked me to watch the girls! My first overnight babysitting job with them. They were perfect angels. No issues and I couldn't have had a better time with them. Thanks Joby and Heather for trusting me with your little blessings. It's a weekend I will not soon forget. Although they missed mommy and daddy like crazy, they enjoyed their time with Aunt Lydia and Uncle Craig.
Well, that sums up some of the highlights for January. I'll soon have more to add as I have another overnight babysitting job coming up tomorrow for a friend. It will be her first time leaving him overnight with ANYONE. I feel honored that she picked me and will have a blast with him! We'll see if she doesn't back out though...LOL!
Blessings!
