Happy Birthday to me!

I had such a fun birthday! I love birthdays! Never mind how much older you are getting . . . and how that leads to no more birthdays . . . so anyway, I just wanted to see how cheap I could make this birthday, cuz we are so short on $$$. I just wanted to go get a free breakfast at Denny's, sit at the park and watch Charlie, then go see the movie Avatar, which is now at the $2.00 theater! Yah, it would have been so cheap, but my sweet hubby also went out and got me flowers, candy for the theater, and pretty new earrings. We also went to Cold Stone after the movie (only spent .77) and free dinner at Joe's bbq with Whitmers (it's Joe's bday too). Funny we went there cuz Chuck also brought home a large smoked bbq pork! (yah, for MY birthday, cuz that's me, big meat eater) Isn't he so sweet! (thanks Curt!) He just didn't know when to quit! I got to hear from all 4 grandbabies today! (Jaydon & Gavin sang to me) It ended at almost midnight by seeing baby Chance on Skype. He was wide awake and we swear he whispered "Happy Birthday Grammy"!

100 things about me (I'm getting there)

1.Braggy people bug me! (oh wait, I just did some pretty good mom bragging above!)
2. I love people (even braggy ones) I love to hear their stories, their points of view, their tragedies and triumphs. People are awesome!
3. I love baby people. They are a miracle. I loved feeling life inside of me and nursing. I love that you had to work with pain to achieve something great. I dream about my babies now, after I've played with Charlie for awhile. Babies are the best!
4. I love my mommy. She is my hero. She has taught me so much of quiet strength and unconditional love.
5. I am married to the nicest guy I've ever met. He is so kind and thoughtful and I'm lucky to have him! (Happy Anniversary to us! 26 years - man we sound old!)
6. I love conference weekend! It's the best! To sit around in my pj's and listen to amazing, insightful talks & be filled!
7. October and Autumn are my favorite time of the year!
8. I love to hear Brandee sing. It started out primary songs, went to "I Swear" as she looked at the stars, to her latest "Why don't you like me", as she does this funky dance. It makes me happy!
9. My favorite color is green. I love almost any color green, but forest green is my favorite
10. I have to watch "It's a Wonderful Life" to start out the holiday season
11. The farthest place I've ever traveled is Hong Kong. I have been blessed to travel to many wonderful places. (I had to to get to see Chuck)
13. I've been through 19 temples and have seen approx. 25. (thanks to traveling mentioned above) We had a goal when we were first married to go to every temple on the earth, but the growth of the gospel has changed that!
12. My favorite food is pasta! Oh, it's bad! Nummy Noodles!
14. Favorite Romantic Song: The Way You Look Tonight (Micheal Buble)
15. Favorite Fun Song: Why Don't You Like Me?
16. Favorite Church Hymn: I Know That My Redeemer Lives
17. Favorite Patriotic Song: I'm Proud To Be An American
18. Favorite Primary Song: I Like To Look For Rainbows
19. Favorite Life song: So Small
20. Jobs I've had: Arby's, for a CPA, Geneology computer entry, and currently Bookkeeper
21. My favorite book is "Bonds That Make Us Free". I love to read and learn so much when I do. Historical Fiction is the best, but it can't compare with Bonds, it's a life changing, self help book
22. I am a "Pollyanna". I see the good in people and situations. I know it's not always good, but I want it to be, and I know people have choices. If they don't want it to be good they are not a "Pollyanna". I hate contention too, so don't argue this point with me.
